Professional Solar Panel Cleaning Services

Dirty solar panels can significantly impact the performance and lifespan of your solar energy system. Our professional solar panel cleaning service ensures your photovoltaic (PV) panels stay clean, efficient, and protected—helping you get the most from your solar investment all year round.

​

​

Why Clean Your Solar Panels?

​

Over time, solar panels naturally collect layers of dirt and debris that block sunlight and reduce energy production. Common causes of contamination include:

​

• Airborne dust and pollution from roads and industrial areas

• Bird droppings, which are acidic and potentially corrosive

• Tree pollen, leaves, and organic matter, especially in wooded or rural areas

• Sand and salt residue in coastal or windy environments

• Moss, algae, and lichen that cling to panel surfaces and seals

​

These buildups don't just make your panels look dirty—they actively reduce your system’s efficiency and can even cause long-term damage.

​

The Problem with Lichen:

​

Lichen is one of the most harmful growths on solar panels:

​

• It blocks sunlight, reducing your panels' energy conversion

• Creates hotspots that can lead to internal damage and panel failure

• In some cases, it can corrode metal frames and fittings, shortening panel lifespan

​

​

Maximise Your Solar Efficiency

​

Even a light layer of dirt can cause a 5% drop in sunlight absorption, which can translate into a 10–25% loss in energy production.

​

Our solar panel cleaning service helps:

​

• Improve power output by up to 25%

• Reduce the risk of expensive repairs and replacements

• Extend the lifespan of your solar panels

• Maintain your warranty by keeping panels in optimal condition

​

While rain may rinse off some surface dust, it doesn’t remove tougher grime, algae, or sticky residues. That’s why we use a proven, safe, and highly effective solar panel cleaning process.
