Solar panel cleaning across Haslingden and Rossendale

Dirty panels quietly cost you money. Bird mess, moss creep from the roof and general grime all shade cells, and a shaded cell drags down the whole string, not just its own corner.

What the job involves

Panels are cleaned with a reach and wash pole system using purified water. No detergents, no abrasives and no walking on the array. Pure water dries without leaving the mineral spotting you get from tap water, so the glass stays clear rather than hazing over in a fortnight.

While I am up there I check for moss creeping in from the surrounding tiles and clear the debris that collects along the bottom edge of the frames, which is where growth usually starts. If your gutters are directly below the array, that fallout gets cleared too.

Most domestic arrays around the valley benefit from a clean once a year. Properties near trees, on farms, or with a lot of gulls about are usually worth doing every six months.

Why it's worth doing

The benefits of solar panel cleaning

Recover lost generation

Soiled panels produce noticeably less. A clean array puts that output back on the meter.

No scratching or damage

Soft brush and pure water only. Nothing abrasive and nothing standing on the panels.

Protects your warranty

Many manufacturers require regular cleaning without harsh chemicals, which is exactly what this is.

Catches problems early

I will flag any lifting frames, bird nesting under the array or moss creep while I am there.

FAQs

Solar Panel Cleaning FAQs

How often should solar panels be cleaned? +

Once a year is generally recommended to keep them performing efficiently.

Will rain not clean them? +

Rain moves loose dust but leaves a film behind, and it does nothing at all for bird mess or moss along the frame edges.

Do you need to walk on the roof? +

No. All solar panels are cleaned safely from gutter level using specialist equipment.

Can you fit bird proofing? +

I do not install mesh, but I will tell you if nesting is a problem so you can get it dealt with before it damages the wiring.

Do I need to be at home? +

I only need access to an outside water supply.
