Our Professional Cleaning Process
Initial Assessment
We begin with a thorough inspection of your solar system, checking for any damage, identifying areas of heavy soiling, and assessing access requirements. This helps us determine the best cleaning approach for your specific setup.
Performance Measurement
Before cleaning, we take baseline performance readings from your system to document the current output. This allows us to quantify the improvement after cleaning.
Eco-Friendly Cleaning
We use specialized equipment and purified water systems to gently but effectively remove all dirt and contaminants. Our cleaning solutions are 100% biodegradable and safe for your panels, your property, and the environment.
Detailed Inspection
After cleaning, we conduct a thorough inspection of your panels, checking for any damage, microcracks, or issues that might affect performance. We also inspect mounting hardware, wiring, and other components.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my residential solar panels cleaned?
For most Sydney homes, we recommend professional cleaning 2-3 times per year. However, this can vary based on your location, nearby trees, bird activity, and local environmental conditions. Homes near the coast or in areas with high pollution may require more frequent cleaning.
Will cleaning really make a difference to my energy production?
Absolutely. Independent studies show that dirty solar panels can lose 15-30% of their efficiency. Our customers typically see a 20-25% increase in energy production after a professional clean, which translates directly to savings on your electricity bill.
Is it safe to clean solar panels myself?
While DIY cleaning is possible, we don't recommend it for several reasons: risk of personal injury from working at heights, potential damage to expensive panels from improper cleaning methods, and often incomplete results that don't fully restore performance. Our technicians are fully trained, insured, and use specialized equipment.
How long does a residential cleaning service take?
A typical residential system (10-20 panels) takes about 1-2 hours to clean thoroughly, inspect, and document. Larger systems or those with difficult access may take longer.
Do you offer maintenance plans?
Yes, we offer scheduled maintenance plans that provide regular cleanings at discounted rates. These plans ensure your system stays at peak performance year-round and can be customized to your specific needs and budget.
