Solar Panel Cleaning

Solar Maintenance

How frequently should you maintain your system? This depends on a few things

  • Solar Panels on a pitched or flat roof? If your roof is a standard pitched roof we suggest 1-2 years for cleaning, if on a flat section, consider having them cleaned more often such as 6-12 months.

  • Read your manufacturer's instructions and what they require for warranty.

  • How often do they look dirty? If your panels look dirty frequently, beyond just a light dusting of dirt, more action might be required, consider getting a self-cleaning coating applied.

  • Are there a lot of bird droppings? If you see alot of bird droppings covering some of the panel this can affect the electrical behaviour of the panel and leave it permanently damaged, consider bird spikes on objects overhanging the panels or move the tv antenna away from the panels.
