The best way to maximize your existing solar investment.
Solar panel arrays are an excellent investment, but require regular panel cleaning to function correctly!
Most solar modules are connected in a combination of parallel and series blocks, so when you cast a small shadow on a solar panel array, it reduces the output of all the solar modules at once. The same effect can be seen when your panels are even slightly covered in grime, bird droppings, branches, or leaves.
Our solar panel washers will increase the power output of your dusty panels by accessing your roof and thoroughly but carefully cleaning away both fine and coarse debris.
We’ll increase the life of your panels by washing off corrosive chemicals like bird droppings and possum urine. If left without attention, these corrosive droppings can eat away at the protective layer of your panels, making them less transparent and permanently reducing their effectiveness.
The team of solar panel cleaners will carefully inspect above and below your panels, removing coarse debris that can vibrate in the wind and scratch your panels. We’ll also remove debris around wiring, conduits and other delicate areas that could start a fire on your roof if left unchecked.
Solar panel cleaning doesn’t need to be an electrifying experience!
There are several risks associated with solar panel cleaning. Our experienced team of solar panel washers have over 20 years of experience, so if you are planning to clean or have your solar array cleaned then you’re welcome to call us and ask how you can do so safely.
Before cleaning your solar panel array, you should deactivate your panels and allow sufficient time for the system to discharge so that you are not electrocuted in case there is an insulation fault. Avoid spraying high pressure water onto or under your panels.
To clean your solar panel array, you will need to access your roof. You will need to be confident working at heights. Roofs can be delicate, so you should walk only on reinforced areas of your roof to avoid creating low spots, and use footwear that is both mechanically and electrically insulated.
It is very important to use the correct insulated cleaning equipment on your panels, otherwise if there is an insulation problem then you could start a fire. Moreover, the wrong cleaning equipment can easily scratch your panels and these scratches can accumulate to permanently reduce the output of your entire array.

Location and regular panel cleaning have a lot to do with solar panel performance. If you are in a dirty or dusty environment, one independent experiment measured a reduction in panel performance of up to 35% after only 24 months. If your panels haven't been cleaned by our professional panel cleaners since they were installed, you could literally be throwing away your initial investment in renewables.
The effectiveness of your solar panels is based on how much light reaches the photovoltaic cells underneath. Each of the smaller cells are wired in series, so although it may seem that only a small area of your panel is covered, the individual modules are all effected equally. Who knew a single bird could cost you so much money? How rude.
