How it’s done

Cleaned from the ground, not off the roof

The pole I use on your windows reaches the panels too. I stay on the ground. Nothing leans on the house. Nobody goes on the roof.

The same heated pure water

Your panels get the same as your windows. That is heated pure water, with nothing added.

No detergent, nothing left behind

Nothing is left on the glass. So dust and pollen have nothing to stick to.

Roof panels, from the ground

Panels on house roofs, as long as the pole can reach them from the ground.

Ground-mounted arrays too

Panels set on the ground are cleaned the same way.

When to bother

How do you know your panels need cleaning?

Dust, pollen and bird mess sit on the glass. They cut how much power you make. From the ground you can often see these four signs.

A dull film across the glass

Panels look flat and grey, not dark and shiny. You see it even on a bright day.

Bird mess along the top edge

It lands on the highest edge and runs down the panel in streaks.

A yellow-green cast after spring

Pollen builds up thick. Rain on its own will not shift it.

Tide lines where rain runs off

Rain moves the dirt about but does not take it away. It leaves lines behind.

Where I stop

I clean panels I can reach from the ground with the pole. If the pole will not reach yours, I’ll tell you. I won’t take the booking. I don’t go on roofs.

I clean the glass and nothing else. I don’t touch the wiring, the mountings or anything under the panels. Does something up there look loose or damaged? I’ll tell you what I can see. That is a job for your installer, not a window cleaner.

See the difference

The same panels, before and after

Dust, pollen and bird mess lifted off the glass. Nothing is left behind to hold new dirt.

Questions

Before you ask

Can you reach panels on my roof?
Domestic panels on a house roof, yes — wherever the water-fed pole reaches them from the ground. That covers most houses around Dover and Whitfield. If yours sit where the pole will not reach, I will tell you that rather than take the booking. I do not go on roofs.
Do you clean ground-mounted arrays?
Yes. Arrays at ground level are cleaned the same way, with the same water.
What do you clean solar panels with?
The same heated pure water as the windows. No detergent, so no residue is left on the glass for dirt to stick to afterwards.
How much does solar panel cleaning cost?
It is priced on the job, like the gutters and conservatories. It depends on how many panels there are and how they sit. Ring or send a photo on WhatsApp and I will tell you — the quote is free either way.
Will you touch the wiring or the mountings?
No. I clean the glass and nothing else. If something up there looks loose or damaged I will tell you what I can see, and that is a job for your installer rather than a window cleaner.
