Question 1

How often should solar panels be cleaned?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your roof. Panels under trees, near the coast or popular with birds may need three or four cleans a year; an open, steeply pitched roof may need only one or two. We look at your array, recommend a frequency, and you can change it any time.

Question 2

How much output do dirty panels really lose?

Accepted Answer

Soiling, moss and bird mess commonly cut generation by 5–15%, and more on panels left for years. A professional clean restores output to near its original level — you can usually see the jump in your inverter app the same day.

Question 3

How do you clean the panels — will it scratch them?

Accepted Answer

We use a pure-water (deionised) reach-and-wash system with soft brushes. No detergents, no abrasives and no scratching — purified water dries spot-free and leaves nothing behind. It’s the standard method for cleaning solar panels.

Question 4

Do you need to get on my roof?

Accepted Answer

Usually not. Our reach-and-wash poles clean most panels safely from the ground, so there’s minimal disruption and no need for scaffolding on a standard home.

Question 5

Does cleaning affect my warranty or insurance?

Accepted Answer

Some manufacturer warranties and insurers expect panels to be maintained, so it is worth checking yours. We provide a dated digital report and maintenance log for every visit, so you have a record if you are ever asked for one.

Question 6

Which areas do you cover?

Accepted Answer

Liverpool, Merseyside and the wider North West — including Wirral, Sefton, St Helens, Knowsley, Warrington, Wigan, Widnes, Runcorn and Southport. Send your postcode and we’ll confirm.
