Solar Panel Cleaning - Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend every 6–12 months for most Gold Coast and Brisbane properties. If you're near the coast, have large trees overhead, or notice a drop in your energy output, every 6 months is ideal. Birds and summer storms can accelerate build-up significantly in South East Queensland.
Yes — dirty panels can lose 20–30% of their efficiency. Dust, bird droppings and grime block sunlight from reaching the cells. Most customers notice a measurable improvement in their energy output after a professional clean, particularly if their panels haven't been serviced in over 12 months.
We use a deionised (pure) water system fed through a soft-bristle brush. Pure water leaves no mineral residue or spotting, giving your panels a streak-free result every time. We never use chemicals or pressure washers, which can damage panels and void warranties. We connect to a tap at your property, so please let us know at booking if tap access is limited.
Yes, absolutely. If you're on tank water we can divert the water running off your panels during the clean so no dirty runoff enters your tank. Just let us know when booking and we'll make sure it's handled correctly. This is common for our customers in the Northern Rivers, Scenic Rim and acreage properties around Brisbane.
No — in fact most solar panel manufacturers recommend regular professional cleaning to maintain your warranty. What can void a warranty is using harsh chemicals, abrasive materials or high-pressure water. Our deionised water and soft-brush method is fully compliant with manufacturer guidelines.
Not necessarily, but we do need access to an outdoor tap at your property. As long as tap access and roof access are available, the job can be completed while you're out. We'll send you before and after photos once the work is done. If there are any access requirements we'll confirm everything with you when booking.
