Professional solar panel cleaning with soft brushes and purified water and no harsh chemicals, carried out with proper roof access and safety equipment.
From $9 per panel (single storey), including GST, with a minimum charge of $199 per site attendance. Indicative starting price: the final fixed price is confirmed in writing after a site assessment.
Rain rinses loose dust off solar panels, but it rarely removes bird droppings, pollen film, sea salt, smoke residue or lichen. These deposits block light and can create hot spots on individual cells. Panels near busy roads, farms, trees or the coast, and panels installed at a low tilt, tend to need cleaning most.
We clean with soft brushes and purified water, which dries without leaving mineral spots, and we don't use harsh chemicals or high-pressure water that could damage panel coatings or seals. Our team works with appropriate roof access and fall-protection equipment. Cleaning is priced per panel: from $9 per panel on a single-storey roof, with a minimum charge of $199 per site attendance. This is an indicative starting price; the final fixed price is confirmed in writing after we check panel numbers, roof height and access.
As a solar installer, we treat your panels as electrical equipment, not just glass. That means we spot problems such as cracked panels, damaged cabling or nesting birds while we are on the roof, and tell you about them honestly. We are a New Energy Tech Approved Seller with $20 million public liability cover, and we only recommend cleaning when it is likely to make a real difference to your system.
Home and business owners whose panels are coated in dust, bird droppings, pollen, salt or lichen, especially on low-tilt roofs.
Cleaning isn't always needed. In many Sydney suburbs, regular rain keeps steeper panels reasonably clean. Cleaning makes the most difference where there are visible droppings, heavy dust, lichen or salt build-up. As a published guide, professional panel cleaning in Sydney is commonly $150-$300, depending on panel numbers and access.
Two-storey or steep roofs, heavy lichen and nest removal add time and are quoted before we start; larger arrays are simply priced per panel. Please don't climb onto the roof or use a pressure washer yourself: roof work is dangerous, and harsh cleaning may affect panel warranties. If birds keep returning, bird-proofing mesh is a longer-term fix.
