Is Melbourne's dust costing you money?

Did you know dirty solar panels can lose up to 30-40% of their power output?

Our beautiful Melbourne weather brings plenty of sunshine, but also:

  • Dust and pollen that sticks to your panels
  • Bird droppings that block sunlight
  • Tree sap and road grime build-up
  • City pollution that creates a film on panels

Why get your solar panels professionally cleaned?

Your solar panels are an investment. You spent good money on them to save on power bills. But they can't work properly when they're covered in dirt.

When we clean your solar panels, you'll get:

  • Up to 30-40% more power output from clean panels
  • Better return on your solar investment
  • Longer panel lifespan – dirt can damage panels over time
  • Peace of mind knowing they're cleaned safely and properly

    What Our Customers Say

    Common Questions About Solar Panel Cleaning

    • How often should I clean my solar panels?

      For most Melbourne homes, we recommend cleaning your panels twice a year. If you live near busy roads, construction sites, or under trees, you might need more frequent cleaning. We can advise what's best for your specific situation after seeing your setup.

    • Will cleaning really make a difference to my power output?

      Absolutely! Independent studies show that dirty panels can lose between 15-40% of their energy output depending on how dirty they are. Most of our customers notice an immediate increase in their system's performance after cleaning. We can even show you the before and after readings if your system has monitoring.

    • Do you use special equipment?

      Yes, we use a pure water cleaning system with soft brushes specifically designed for solar panels. We never use harsh chemicals, soaps, or abrasive tools that could scratch or damage your expensive panels. Our methods are safe and approved by panel manufacturers.

    • Could I damage my panels by cleaning them myself?

      Unfortunately, yes. Many homeowners accidentally damage their panels by using incorrect cleaning products or methods. Harsh detergents, pressure washers, or abrasive scrubbers can scratch panels or damage seals. Plus, there's the safety risk of working on your roof. It's generally safer and more effective to use professionals.

    • Are you insured?

      Yes, we're fully insured with public liability coverage up to $20 million. Our team is also properly trained in working at heights. Your home and solar system are completely protected when we're on the job.

    • Can you fix problems with my solar system?

      While our main service is cleaning, we do provide a basic system check during our visit. If we notice any obvious issues (loose panels, damaged cables, etc.), we'll inform you right away. For electrical issues or major repairs, we can recommend trusted local solar electricians we've worked with.
