Residential & commercial

Solar panel cleaning that puts the power back.

Warranty-safe solar panel cleaning with soft brushes and purified water for homes, strata and commercial rooftops across the Inner West, Upper North Shore and Sutherland Shire.

Overview

Solar Panel Cleaning in Sydney, done properly.

Dust, pollen, bird droppings, salt and lichen build a film over panels that you rarely notice from the ground — but your inverter does. A dirty array simply produces less power than a clean one, every sunny day, and the loss is easy to miss because it creeps in slowly.

We clean with soft-bristle brushes and deionised water through water-fed poles, which is the method panel manufacturers specify. No detergents, no high pressure against the seals, and no one walking on the glass.

Signs it's time

When to book solar panel cleaning

  • Your generation is lower than last year
  • Bird droppings visible on the panels
  • Dirt lines along the bottom edge of each panel
  • Panels under or near trees
  • Close to the coast, a main road or the airport
  • It's been more than a year since the last clean

Our method

How we clean, and why it lasts.

Soft brushes only

Non-abrasive bristles that lift grime without scratching the anti-reflective coating.

Deionised water

Pure water rinses away dirt and leaves no residue or mineral spots to shade the cells.

No pressure, no chemicals

Nothing that can push water past seals or void a manufacturer warranty.

Inspection while we're up

We look over panels, frames and the area under the array and tell you about anything that needs an installer.

FAQ

Solar Panel Cleaning questions.

Can't see your question? Ask us directly.

Is solar panel cleaning worth it?

If your panels have visible dirt, bird droppings or a film, yes — soiling blocks sunlight from reaching the cells. Check your inverter or app before and after a clean and you can see the difference for your own system.

Doesn't rain clean solar panels?

Rain moves loose dust but leaves a film behind as it dries, and it does nothing for bird droppings, lichen or salt. Low-tilt panels in particular trap dirt along the bottom edge.

Will cleaning void my panel warranty?

Not with our method. Soft brushes and purified water — no detergents or pressure washers — is what manufacturers recommend.

Do you walk on the panels?

Never. We clean from the roof edge or from the ground with water-fed poles, so no weight goes on the glass.

Can you clean commercial and strata arrays?

Yes — warehouses, offices, schools and strata rooftops on programmed visits, with photo reports after each clean.
