Why It Matters

Dirty Panels Cost You Money

Research shows dirty panels can lose 15–25% efficiency. On a typical 4kW system, that’s £100–200 a year in lost generation.

Solar panels are a significant investment — but they only work when light can reach the cells. Bird droppings are the worst offender, creating hot spots that can permanently damage cells if left too long. Pollen, dust, tree sap and general atmospheric grime all reduce output gradually.

We clean solar panels using the same purified water system we use for windows — no chemicals, no abrasive tools, no risk of scratching or damaging the anti-reflective coating. Our telescopic poles reach roof-mounted panels safely from the ground.

How It Works

Three Steps to Maximum Output

1

Drop Us a Line

Tell us how many panels you have and send a photo if you can. We’ll get back within 1 business day with a clear quote.

What We Need

Number of panels, roof type (pitched/flat), and whether there’s easy ground access. A photo helps us spot any heavy soiling like bird droppings that might need extra attention.

2

We Clean Them Safely

We use purified water and soft brushes on telescopic poles — no ladders on your roof, no chemicals on your panels, no risk to the coating.

Why Purified Water?

Tap water contains minerals that leave white residue when it dries — defeating the purpose. Our purified water dissolves dirt and dries completely clean. It’s the same system recommended by panel manufacturers.

3

Peak Performance

Your panels are back to full output. We’ll advise on how often they need cleaning based on your roof angle and surroundings.

How Often?

Most panels benefit from cleaning once or twice a year. Panels under trees or near busy roads need more frequent attention. Flat-mounted panels collect more dirt than angled ones. We’ll give you an honest assessment.

Common Questions

Solar Panel Cleaning Questions? We've Got Answers

How much does solar panel cleaning cost?

It depends on the number of panels and roof access. A typical residential system (10–16 panels) starts from around £80–120. We’ll give you an exact price after a quick look — no obligation.

Will cleaning actually improve my output?

Yes. Studies show dirty panels can lose 15–25% efficiency. Bird droppings are the worst — they create hot spots that block entire cells. Most customers see a noticeable improvement in generation figures within days of cleaning.

How do you clean them without damaging the coating?

We use purified water and soft brushes — no chemicals, no abrasive tools, no pressure washers. Our telescopic poles reach panels from the ground, so there’s no weight on your roof and no risk of cracking tiles. This is the method recommended by most panel manufacturers.

How often should solar panels be cleaned?

Most panels benefit from cleaning once or twice a year. If you have overhanging trees, bird problems, or flat-mounted panels, you may need more frequent cleaning. We’ll give you an honest assessment based on your setup.

Do I need to turn off my system?

No. We clean from the ground using telescopic poles, so there’s no need to access the roof or disconnect anything. Your system can keep generating while we work.

Can you reach panels on a three-storey house?

Our telescopic poles extend to reach most residential roofs. If your panels are unusually high or difficult to access, we’ll let you know at the quoting stage — we won’t take on a job we can’t do safely.

What areas do you cover?

We cover Muswell Hill (and Crouch End, Highgate, East Finchley), Enfield (and Palmers Green, Winchmore Hill, Southgate, Cockfosters) and Primrose Hill (and Chalk Farm, Camden, St John’s Wood, Belsize Park).
