Solar Panel Cleaning in the Blue Mountains

Solar panels lose output as they get dirty, and nobody notices because the loss is gradual. Dust, pollen, leaf fall, bird mess and lichen on the frame edges all cut generation from a system you have already paid for.

Why it matters here

Heavy tree cover means constant leaf litter, sap and bird traffic across mountains roofs. Panels here get dirty faster than the manufacturer assumed when they told you rain would keep them clean.

What is included

• Panels cleaned with purified water, no detergents left behind on the glass
• No abrasives and no high pressure anywhere near the seals
• Frames and edges cleared of lichen and debris
• Visible condition of panels and mounts reported
• Before and after photos sent through

What it costs

Price depends on the size of the home, the pitch and the access. Our indicative starting price for solar panel cleaning is TBC, and a proper quote is free.

Booking this together with anything else in the same visit brings the total down, because it is one trip and one setup.

Before and after

Questions about solar panel cleaning

Does rain not clean them?

Rain moves loose dust. It does not shift bonded grime, sap, bird mess or the lichen that grows along the frame edges, and those are what cost you output.

How often should panels be cleaned?

Once a year suits most homes here. Under heavy tree cover or near constant bird traffic, twice.

Will it void my warranty?

Purified water with no abrasives and no high pressure is the method manufacturers ask for. Aggressive cleaning is what causes problems.
