Cleaning your solar panels helps you to avoid costly repairs
A small cost now could save you lots in the long run
Solar panels are designed to absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity. However, if your solar panels are dirty, the amount of sunlight that can be absorbed is reduced. This decreases the potential energy output. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, dirty solar panels lose between 7 and 50 percent energy output. The amount of dirt on panels increases over time, so the longer it has been since your last clean, the better the results you are likely to receive.
Dirt and dust can build up on your solar panels over time and cause them to wear down. This can shorten the lifespan of your solar panels on top of reducing their overall efficiency. Cleaning your solar panels regularly can help to prevent this from happening and extend their lifespan. Solar panels are designed to last for around 50 years, but that number is dependant on how well they are looked after. It's like brushing your teeth.
Solar panels are a significant investment, and it is important to protect your investment by cleaning them regularly. Dirty solar panels reduce your energy output and shorten their lifespan, which can cost you money in repairs or replacements in the long run. Cleaning your solar panels regularly can help ensure you are getting the most out of your investment. It's like dry cleaning your nicest clothes, rather than washing them in rainwater.
Dirty solar panels can make your home look run down and dingy. Cleaning your solar panels helps improve the appearance of your home and make it more inviting, and easier to sell.
Many solar panel manufacturers require you to clean your solar panels regularly in order to maintain your warranty. The warranty is important as it can cover the cost of repair or replacement.
If you live in an area with hard water, it is important to clean your solar panels more often, to prevent water spots and staining from hard water rain that can reduce efficiency permanently.
Before any cleaning can begin, it is important to ensure safe access to the roof. This is especially important if the solar panels are installed on a steep or slippery roof. Our team of experienced technicians is trained in safe roof access procedures and will always use a safety harness when working on your roof.
It is important to ensure safe access to the roof
Once we have safely accessed the roof, we will begin by rinsing the panels with pure deionised water. This will remove any loose dirt and debris. We use a soft brush to gently loosen any remaining dirt or grime.

Next, we will clean the panels with our specialist solar pv compliant solution. We use ChemiTek Lichen removal agent and ChemiTek Solar wash protect which is sprayed on before cleaning and then rinsed away with pure deionised water. We are careful not to use harsh chemicals or detergents, as these can damage the solar panels.

Yes. Dust, bird droppings, pollen and grime can block sunlight and reduce efficiency. Clean panels work better and last longer.
We recommend a professional clean once or twice each year. In areas with heavy dust, pollution or bird activity, more frequent cleaning may be beneficial.
Use a soft brush and purified or deionised water to gently remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or high‑pressure washers. Hiring a professional helps protect your system and warranty.
You can clean panels yourself if safe access is possible and the right tools are used. However, professional cleaning ensures safety, uses purified water and non-abrasive methods, and helps protect your system and warranty.
Early morning, evening, or cloudy days are ideal to avoid thermal stress on hot glass. In the UK, spring and autumn are popular for routine cleans.
Rain rinses light dust but won’t remove sticky residues such as bird droppings, sap or lichen. Periodic cleaning is still recommended to maintain output.
Use purified/deionised water with a soft-bristle brush or squeegee. Avoid abrasive pads, ammonia-based cleaners and pressure washers to prevent damage.
Yes. Spraying cold water on very hot panels can create thermal stress. Always clean when panels are cool to the touch.
Yes. Options include hydrophobic anti-soiling coatings and robotic or automated cleaners for large or hard-to-reach arrays. We can advise on suitability for your system.
Prices vary based on the size of your array, its location and ease of access. Contact us for a tailored quote and we’ll happily provide a clear, no‑obligation estimate.
No. Walking on panels risks cracking the glass and damaging connections. Tap water often leaves mineral deposits; purified water is best. Let trained technicians handle the job safely.
Rain may rinse some dust away, but it can’t remove stubborn dirt or bird droppings. Regular cleaning ensures your panels stay in top condition.
Do not use abrasive tools, harsh chemicals, pressure washers or stand on the panels. These can scratch or damage the surface and reduce performance.
