Roof-mounted solar panels being cleaned with deionised water

What we do

Solar Panel Cleaning, with the kind of finish that feels cared for

Solar panels are a significant investment, and dirty panels quietly lose output month after month. Bird droppings, pollen, traffic film, and general grime create a film that blocks sunlight and reduces generation. Our deionised water cleaning removes it all without chemicals, pressure, or abrasive tools, so your panels can work harder. We check every panel during the clean and let you know if we spot any visible damage or nesting activity. Most domestic arrays benefit from an annual or bi-annual clean.

How it works

Simple, tidy and no fuss

From your first quote to a home that always looks its best, we keep the whole thing effortless for you.

Step 01

Tell us about your array

Tell us how many panels you have and their location. Most arrays get a personalised quote, no site visit needed.

Step 02

Cleaned safely from the ground

We arrive with our own deionised water and soft brushes, cleaning from the ground with reach-and-wash poles, scaffold rarely needed.

Step 03

Checked, cleaned, pay after

Every panel cleaned and visually inspected for damage. We report any issues found. Pay online after the clean, never upfront.

Why homeowners choose us

The case for our solar panel cleaning

Solar panelsSomerset stone house

Our approach

Deionised water and soft brushes only, never chemicals or pressure.

Recover lost energy output

Dirt and droppings block sunlight before it reaches the cells. A professional clean helps you generate more from the panels you already own.

Gentle methods only

We use deionised water and soft brushes. No detergents and no pressure washers, so nothing harsh touches your panels.

Deionised water, no chemicals

Deionised water has no minerals in it, so nothing is left behind to dry on the glass.

Visual condition check

During cleaning we check every panel for visible damage, loose fixings, or pigeon nesting. We report anything we find.

Domestic and commercial arrays

From small domestic roofs to large commercial installations. We bring the right access equipment for the job.

Protect your investment

Solar panels are a long-term investment. Regular cleaning keeps them performing at their best and protects your payback timeline.

Good to know

Solar Panel Cleaning questions

Do dirty solar panels actually lose efficiency?

Yes. Pollen, bird droppings, and dust coat the glass and reduce light absorption. A professional clean typically recovers noticeable output, especially on panels that have not been cleaned in over a year.

Will cleaning void my solar panel warranty?

Warranty terms vary by maker, so check yours for any cleaning conditions and tell us about them. Our method is the gentle one: soft brushes and deionised water only, with no abrasives, detergents or pressure washers.

How often should solar panels be cleaned?

Once or twice a year for most installations. Panels near trees, the coast, or with heavy bird activity may need more frequent attention.

Can I clean solar panels myself with a hose?

We would not recommend it. Tap water leaves mineral deposits on the glass, and working at roof height is dangerous. We supply our own purified water and clean from the ground with reach-and-wash poles.

Does a professional clean pay for itself?

Cleaning removes dirt that can reduce output. Any financial saving depends on your system, the soiling and the value of the electricity generated. We cannot promise that it will cover the cleaning cost.

How do you reach the panels without going on the roof?

Reach-and-wash poles with soft brush heads extend up to 40 feet from the ground. That reaches most residential arrays from the ground, so nobody walks on your roof or panels.
