Panel safe cleaning that gets your output back without high pressure, harsh chemicals or scratched glass. Dirty panels can cut a system’s energy yield by up to 25 percent. The solar panel cleaning Melbourne homes and businesses rely on to keep their systems at peak performance.
Tell us how many panels and the roof type and we will come back with a clear price.
A solar system only performs as well as the sunlight reaching its cells. Even a thin film of grime acts like a permanent light cloud over your roof, and localised soiling such as bird droppings can shade individual cells and drag down the output of a whole string. Dust, pollen, moss, fungus, leaves and droppings all build up over time, and rain alone does not shift the bonded layer that blocks the light.
Panel manufacturers design their products to be cleaned. What they do not recommend is harsh scrubbing, high pressure water or untrained people walking on roofs. Our staff are trained to clean solar panels with gentle, panel safe methods that lift the grime without scratching or thermal shock, using the same work at heights practices we apply across all of our services.
Since we are already working safely on your roof, add gutter cleaning or a house wash to the same visit and save on a second call out.
Domestic systems on single storey homes and multi storey townhouses, and commercial arrays on offices, warehouses, factories and schools. Large industrial systems with hundreds of panels are welcome.
Tiled and Colorbond roofs, single and double storey, with safe access set up so nobody in the household needs to go near a ladder.
Big roofs with hundreds of panels on offices, warehouses, factories and schools, with a written scope and scheduling around the site.
Panels near the bay and panels installed at a low tilt soil faster because salt and dust do not wash off. These systems benefit from a clean every six months.
The deposits that shade individual cells and drag down a whole string. Removed without scratching the glass or damaging the seals.
Spring pollen, roadside dust and leaves from overhanging trees, cleared from the glass and from underneath the array.
Gutter cleaning, roof soft washing and a house wash on the same visit, because the crew is already up there.
Most residential systems are done in an hour or two. Commercial arrays are scheduled around the site and quoted from panel counts and roof plans.
Tell us how many panels, the roof type and the pitch. You get a clear price before any work starts.
Height safety set up by work at heights certified crews, the same practices we use on every roof.
Cracked glass, lifted cabling, nesting and debris under the panels checked before cleaning starts.
Gentle, panel safe methods that lift grime without scratching or thermal shock. No high pressure, no abrasives.
Panels and frames rinsed clean so no residue dries on the glass.
What we cleaned and anything on the system or the roof worth knowing about.
For most Melbourne systems a clean once or twice a year keeps output close to its peak. Panels installed at a low tilt, near busy roads, under trees or close to the coast soil faster and benefit from more frequent cleaning.
Rain rinses off loose dust but leaves behind the bonded grime, droppings and pollen that actually block light. That layer needs proper cleaning to shift, and it is the reason a system that looks clean from the ground can still be down on output.
Compare your system’s recent generation with the same months in earlier years. If output is drifting down and your inverter shows no faults, dirty panels are the most common culprit, and a clean is the cheapest fix.

Once or twice a year suits most Melbourne systems. Panels near trees, busy roads or the coast may need cleaning more often. If your generation figures are drifting down, it is usually time for a clean.
Rain rinses off loose dust, but it does not remove bird droppings, pollen, moss or bonded grime. Those are the deposits that block sunlight and cut your system’s output, and they need proper cleaning to shift.
Dirty panels can cost you up to 25 percent of your system’s energy yield. For most households and businesses, the extra electricity generated after a clean makes professional solar panel cleaning well worth the cost.
