Get your solar panels working at full output.
Dust, pollen and bird droppings can cut solar output by 10-25%. I use a pure-water, soft-brush method that's safe for every major panel brand and won't damage seals.
What's included
- Pure-water, deionised rinse (no detergents)
- Soft-brush detailing for stuck-on grime
- Inverter readout check before and after
- Single-storey and accessible two-storey roofs
- Bundled discount with a window clean
How it works
- Step 1
Assess
I check panel layout, pitch and access from satellite plus a quick site visit.
- Step 2
Clean
Soft-brush wash with pure water from a water-fed pole - no roof walking required for most homes.
- Step 3
Verify
I note your inverter reading so you can see the difference within a few sunny days.
Tips & local insights
Quarterly cleans recover more kWh than one annual clean
Output losses compound - panels at 85% efficiency for 9 months cost you far more than 4 short dips to 95%. A clean every 3 months pays for itself in recovered generation, especially through summer.
Check your inverter app monthly
A 10-20% drop in output without weather change means panels are dirty. Quarterly customers rarely see this dip because they never let soiling build up.
Bundle with gutters and windows on the same visit
Same roof access, same callout. Most solar customers run all three on a quarterly schedule to cut the per-service cost.
Never use detergent or tap water
Detergent leaves a film that attracts dust faster. Tap water leaves mineral spots. Pure deionised water is the manufacturer-spec method.
Bird droppings are urgent
They etch into panel coating and create permanent hotspots. Spot-clean as soon as you see them - or stay on a quarterly plan so they never sit long.
Common questions
How often should panels be cleaned in Brisbane?
Quarterly - every 3 months - is the recommended rhythm to keep generation near peak. Brisbane gets heavy pollen, salt haze, storm dust and bird activity across every season. Annual cleans recover the worst of it, but quarterly customers consistently generate more kWh over the year and avoid the etching that comes from droppings sitting on panels.
Do you offer a recurring schedule?
Yes. Quarterly is the most popular plan and is often bundled with windows or gutters on the same visit.
Will cleaning void my panel warranty?
No - pure-water cleaning is the manufacturer-recommended method for every major brand.
How much output will I get back?
Most Brisbane homes see a 10-25% lift after the first clean. Heavily soiled panels can see more. Quarterly customers stay near peak year-round.
Do I need to switch the system off?
No. The clean is done with cold pure water and a soft brush - no electrical risk.
Can you do panels on a steep two-storey roof?
Most are accessible from a water-fed pole.
Will it remove bird droppings and lichen?
Yes. Stubborn spots are softened with pure water first, then lifted with a soft brush. No scratching.
