Solar panels are self-cleaning only in theory. In practice, dust, pollen, bird mess and a rim of algae along the frame edges build up on shallow-pitched arrays, and shading even part of a panel affects the output of the string it sits in.

We clean panel glass with pure water and pole-fed brushes — no detergents, no abrasives and no walking on the array.

What the job includes

  • Pure water pole-fed cleaning of panel glass
  • Removal of bird mess, pollen film and edge algae
  • Frame edges cleaned where growth has taken hold
  • Ground level working wherever access allows
  • Visual report of anything obviously loose or damaged
  • Roof and gutter work combined on request

Where we work

  • Domestic roof-mounted arrays
  • Ground-mounted arrays
  • Garage, outbuilding and extension installations
  • Small commercial rooftop arrays (subject to access)

Why it is done this way

What you get with our solar panel cleaning

  • No detergents on the glass

    Pure water leaves no residue and nothing for dirt to bond to as it dries.

  • Nothing stood on

    Pole systems mean we do not need to walk on the array or lean ladders against it.

  • Edges included

    The algae line along frame edges is what creeps into the active area, so it is worth clearing.

  • Combine with roof and gutters

    If we are already on site for the roof, adding the panels costs less than a separate visit.

Our process

How the visit runs

  1. Step 1

    Check access

    Confirm pitch, height and whether the array can be reached safely from the ground.

  2. Step 2

    Clean

    Pure water pole-fed brushing across the glass and frame edges.

  3. Step 3

    Rinse

    Final pure water rinse so the glass dries without spotting.

  4. Step 4

    Report

    Tell you about anything visibly loose, cracked or soiled beyond cleaning.

Questions

Solar Panel Cleaning FAQs

Will cleaning improve my solar output?

Removing shading dirt and bird mess restores the panel's ability to collect light. How much difference it makes depends on how soiled the array was, so we do not quote a fixed percentage.

Do you use chemicals on panels?

No. We use pure water, which is the method manufacturers generally recommend.

How often should panels be cleaned?

Once a year suits most installations. Arrays under trees, near farmland or on a shallow pitch may benefit from more frequent attention.
