Why Cleaning Your Solar Panels Matters

Solar panels are a great investment.
They help lower your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint.

But if they’re dirty, they won’t work as efficiently.

Do Dirty Panels Really Lose Power?

Yes.
Dust, bird droppings, pollen, and pollution can all block sunlight.
Even a small layer of dirt can cut output by 10–20% — sometimes more.

That’s money lost for every sunny day.

Rain Doesn’t Do the Job

Many people think rain will clean their solar panels.
But rainwater doesn’t remove stuck-on grime or bird mess.
Just like a car windscreen, panels need proper cleaning to stay clear.

What We Use

We clean solar panels using a pure water system.
That means:

  • No chemicals

  • No residue or marks

  • No risk of panel damage

We clean from the ground using extendable water-fed poles, so there’s no walking on your roof.

Will It Void My Warranty?

No — in fact, many manufacturers recommend regular cleaning.
Some warranties even require it to stay valid.
We clean safely and in line with industry guidance.

How Often Should Panels Be Cleaned?

Most homes need solar panels cleaned once a year.
If you live near trees, farmland, or heavy traffic, you may need it every 6 months.

The Benefits:

  • 🌞 Improved efficiency

  • 💷 More energy savings

  • 🛠️ Longer panel lifespan

  • No damage to seals or wiring
