Why clean your panels?
Dirty panels can't capture all the sun
Gauteng's long dry winters, wind-blown dust, nearby roads, construction and mine dumps, bird droppings and spring pollen all settle on solar glass. Rain alone rarely washes it off — it often just moves dirt to the bottom edge of the panel.
- Removes dust, grime, bird droppings and pollen
- Helps your system perform as designed
- Prevents stubborn build-up and staining
- Lets us spot visible damage or obstructions early
- Protects your investment in renewable energy
Actual performance gains depend on how dirty the panels are, the weather, panel design and other factors. Cleaning can't guarantee a specific increase in output.
How it works
A simple, safe, four-step process
-
1. Free quotation
Tell us your location, property type and roughly how many panels. We quote based on the size, access and condition of the installation.
-
2. Plan & safety check
We assess the site, roof access and working-at-height risks, and follow any site rules and electrical safety boundaries.
-
3. Careful cleaning
Soft-bristle, water-fed brushes and panel-safe methods lift dirt without scratching the glass or damaging frames and seals.
-
4. Check & report
We check the result and let you know about any visible damage, loose fittings or obstructions we noticed during the clean.

Questions
Common questions
How often should solar panels be cleaned?
For most Gauteng homes, once or twice a year works well — ideally after the dry, dusty winter. Sites near gravel roads, farms, mines, construction or with lots of birds may need more frequent cleaning. We'll recommend an interval for your site.
Will cleaning damage my panels?
Not when it's done correctly. We use soft-bristle, water-fed brushes and panel-safe methods, and avoid abrasive tools and harsh chemicals that can scratch glass or harm coatings.
Do you also clean gutters and windows?
Yes. We can clear your gutters and wash your windows on the same visit as your solar clean, or as a separate job. See gutter cleaning and window washing.
