How we do it
No detergents and no pressure washers: just purified water and soft brushes, the gentle approach panel manufacturers generally recommend. Pure water leaves no residue on the glass, so the panels stay clearer for longer.
Panels on low-pitched roofs, and homes near trees or open farmland, tend to get dirty fastest. Cleaning the dirt and dust off regularly helps your panels work more efficiently.
Lichen that has been there a long time grips the glass and cannot always be removed. We will remove as much as we safely can with soft brushes and purified water, but we do not use harsh methods or chemicals, so we cannot promise every patch will come off.
What is included

Solar panel cleaning: common questions
Does cleaning solar panels make a difference?
Yes, when they are visibly dirty. Anything that blocks light, such as bird droppings, lichen or a film of dust, reduces output, and cleaning the dirt and dust off regularly has a positive effect on efficiency. Panels on steep roofs in open ground stay cleaner; low-pitched panels and those near trees or farmland benefit most.
How often should solar panels be cleaned?
Once a year suits most homes. If you notice your output dropping, or you can see droppings or moss on the panels, it is worth cleaning them sooner.
Can you remove lichen from solar panels?
Usually, if it is fairly new. Lichen that has been on the panels for a long time grips the glass and cannot always be removed without harsh methods that could damage them. We remove as much as we safely can with soft brushes and purified water, and we cannot guarantee that every patch will come off.
Do you use chemicals on solar panels?
No. Solar panels are cleaned with purified water and soft brushes only, which leaves no residue on the glass.
