Why You Need Professional Solar Panel Cleaning in Bath, Bristol & the South West

Solar panels are an excellent investment for homeowners and businesses across Bath, Bristol, and the South West, helping to reduce energy bills and lower carbon footprints. However, to maintain their efficiency and longevity, regular cleaning is essential.

Maximise Your Energy Output

Over time, dirt, dust, bird droppings, moss, and lichen can build up on your solar panels, blocking sunlight and reducing their efficiency. Even a thin layer of grime can significantly impact their performance, meaning you could be losing valuable energy and money. Professional solar panel cleaning ensures your system operates at peak efficiency, generating maximum power for your property.

Protect Your Investment

Solar panels are built to last, but neglecting regular maintenance can lead to long-term damage. Organic matter and pollution can cause staining, while accumulated debris may lead to hotspots that degrade the panels over time. Cleaning your panels regularly extends their lifespan and helps protect your investment.

Ensure Safety & Compliance

Cleaning solar panels can be dangerous without the right equipment and expertise. Our team at Solar Cleaning South West uses specialist cleaning techniques, including purified water and non-abrasive brushes, to ensure a thorough and safe clean without damaging the panels. Plus, keeping your panels well-maintained ensures compliance with warranty and insurance requirements.

Solar Panel Cleaning FAQs

Do solar panels really need to be cleaned?
Yes. Dirt, bird droppings, dust, and pollen can significantly reduce efficiency. Clean panels perform better and extend the lifespan of your system.
How often should solar panels be cleaned?
At least once or twice per year is recommended. More frequent cleaning may be needed in areas with heavy dust, pollution, or bird activity.
What is the best way to clean solar panels?
A soft brush with a long handle and deionised water is ideal. However, it's safest and most effective to have them professionally cleaned to avoid damage or voiding your warranty.
How much does it cost to clean solar panels in the UK?
It depends on the size, location, and accessibility. Contact us for a free quote tailored to your system.
What not to do when cleaning solar panels?
Avoid abrasive tools, harsh chemicals, walking on panels, and high-pressure washers. These can scratch or damage the surface and reduce performance.
Should I spray water on my solar panels?
Spraying water alone may not be enough to remove grime or droppings. Always use soft water and a gentle cleaning approach—or hire a pro for a deep clean.
Can you walk on solar panels to clean them?
No. Walking on panels can crack the glass and cause permanent damage. Use safety equipment or hire a professional with the right tools.
Can you use tap water to clean solar panels?
You can, but it may leave mineral deposits or streaks. Purified or deionised water is better for a streak-free finish.
Does rain clean solar panels?
Rain may rinse some debris, but it won’t clean thoroughly. Built-up dirt and bird droppings often need proper cleaning.
Should you pressure wash solar panels?
No. High-pressure water can damage seals and surfaces. Gentle cleaning or a professional service is safer and more effective.
Can window cleaners clean solar panels?
Some window cleaners offer solar panel services, but not all have the right training or tools. It's best to hire a solar panel cleaning specialist.
What is the best time of day to clean solar panels?
Early morning or late evening—when the panels are cool—is safest. Avoid cleaning under direct sunlight to prevent streaks or thermal stress.
What happens if you don’t clean your solar panels?
Efficiency drops over time, reducing your energy output and potential savings. In extreme cases, dirt buildup may even damage components.
Can I clean solar panels with just water?
Yes, but purified or deionised water works best. For better results and safety, we recommend a professional cleaning service.
Can dirty solar panels cause problems?
Yes. Dirty panels reduce energy output and efficiency. Over time, neglecting them can affect the performance and durability of your system.
Should I squeegee solar panels?
Only with a soft rubber squeegee and on cool panels. However, this should be done with great care—or better, by a professional with the right tools.
Can I clean my solar panels myself?
You can, but it's safer and more effective to leave it to professionals who use the correct equipment and safety procedures.
