Solar panel cleaning in Melbourne

Dust, bird mess and pollen on panel glass cut output measurably — often 10 to 25% on panels that have never been cleaned. We use deionised water and soft brushes so nothing abrasive touches the glass and no residue is left to dry on.

Solar Panel Cleaning questions

Does cleaning solar panels actually increase output?
Yes, and it is measurable. Panels that have gone years without a clean commonly recover 10 to 25% of lost output. Panels cleaned in the last twelve months see much smaller gains.
Can I just hose my panels off?
Tap water leaves mineral deposits as it dries, which reduces light transmission — so you can end up worse off. Deionised water dries clean, which is why it is the industry standard.
How often should solar panels be cleaned?
Annually for most Melbourne homes. Properties near main roads, under trees, or on unsealed roads benefit from every six months.
