Most South East Queensland systems benefit from a clean every 6 to 12 months. Properties in dusty areas, near the coast (salt spray), under heavy tree cover (bird droppings and sap), or in pollen-heavy locations may need cleaning more often as build-up reduces output faster.

Rain alone doesn't remove sticky contaminants like bird droppings, pollen, sap, salt spray, or oily grime — it actually concentrates dust and minerals into streaks that block more sunlight than the original layer of dirt. Rain is a rinse, not a clean.

We use a specialist water-fed pole fitted with the correct soft-bristle solar panel brush head. Deionised, filtered water flows through the pole during cleaning — the combination of gentle agitation and 100% pure water safely removes contaminants without scratching the panel coating, and dries spot-free with no streaking.

Tap water contains minerals that leave hard water stains and spotting on panel glass when they dry — actually reducing output further. Our onboard filtration system produces 100% deionised water, which dries completely spot-free and leaves the panels in optimal condition.

No. Solar panels have delicate anti-reflective coatings that can be permanently damaged by abrasive brushes, harsh chemicals, or high-pressure washing. We use the correct soft-bristle brush head designed specifically for solar panels — combined with the water-fed pole technique, there's no risk to the panel surface.

No. Most solar panel manufacturers actually require regular cleaning as part of warranty conditions — using the correct method. High-pressure washing or abrasive cleaning can void warranties; our water-fed pole and deionised water method is the industry-standard safe approach.

Most customers see a noticeable lift in daily generation, particularly during peak hours. Recovery depends on how dirty the panels were beforehand — heavily soiled systems can see 15–25% improvement, lightly soiled systems closer to 5–10%. The cleaner the panels, the more sunlight reaches the cells.

Yes. Our water-fed pole system can reach most residential systems safely from the ground or a stable roof access point. For very steep or unusual roofs, our trained technicians use full roof harness and anchor systems to clean safely.

No. As long as we have access to your outdoor water tap and the panels themselves, you don't need to be on site. We send before-and-after photos and a brief condition report on completion.

We charge per panel with a minimum call-out fee. Volume discounts apply for larger systems. Final pricing depends on panel count, roof access, system condition, and property height — every system is quoted individually.

Yes. All solar panel cleaning is backed by our 30-day workmanship guarantee. If you're not satisfied with the result, we'll come back and make it right.
