Solar panels need to be properly maintained to ensure they are always firing on all cells. It doesn’t take much for overall output to be impacted by external factors. For example, if one panel becomes dirty or gets debris stuck on it, this can affect the overall output of your entire solar power system (for string inverter systems). How often you should clean your panels will be dependent on the type of area you live, the environment around you, how many birds/bats flock over your home, etc. Residents on the Gold Coast and the coastline are especially prone to buildup of salt on the solar panels. We, along with the Clean Energy Council, recommend that you have your solar panels serviced once a year at a minimum. This will ensure you continue to get the most out of your solar power investment for its lifetime.

Solar Panel Cleaning

On top of ensuring you following a servicing schedule for your solar panels, it’s just as important to make sure they stay squeaky clean! We recommend that you clean your solar panels at least TWICE per year. Again however, the frequency of cleaning will depend on the location you live, and harsher environments will mean having to clean your panels more often to ensure they are maintained. Our service and cleaning team use only the safest equipment which keeps you, your family and your solar panels safe all year round.
