Solar Panel Cleaning and Servicing across Cheshire
Rain keeps panels reasonably clean, but a tilt that is too shallow, trees overhead or nearby birds can leave a film of dirt, algae or droppings that cuts output. Birds nesting under panels can also chew cables and make a mess.
We clean panels with soft brushes and purified water where appropriate, remove debris and moss from the roof around them, fit mesh bird-proofing and check the visible parts of the system: wiring, isolators, the inverter display and the output against what you would expect.

Send us a photo or describe the problem and we will tell you honestly what we would do and what it involves. A free survey and a written quote follow.
Signs your panels need attention
- A visible film of dirt, algae or droppings on the glass
- Generation lower than the same time in previous years
- Birds nesting under or around the panels
- An error light or message on the inverter
- Moss or debris building up around the edges of the array
What a clean and service includes
We clean the panels without scratching them or using harsh chemicals, clear the roof and gutters around the array, and fit or repair mesh where birds are getting underneath. We check the roof covering and fixings around the panels as we go.
We inspect what is visible of the system, including cables and isolators, read the inverter and record the results for you. We do not open sealed equipment or work on parts that need a specialist or the manufacturer, and we tell you if something does.

How often should panels be cleaned?
Many panels are fine with occasional cleaning, and more often if you have trees, birds, a shallow tilt or a lot of dust. A yearly check is a good habit, and we can set up a regular visit if you prefer. See also roof cleaning for the roof around the panels.
What affects the cost?
The price depends on the number of panels, the height and access and whether bird-proofing is needed. We quote a fixed price in writing.

Solar Panel Cleaning and Servicing: your questions answered
Can I clean my panels myself?
Panels are on the roof and work at height is risky. A hose from the ground is sometimes enough. We recommend leaving roof work to people with the right equipment.
Will cleaning void my warranty?
Cleaning that follows the manufacturer’s guidance does not. We use soft methods and no harsh chemicals.
How do I know if my system is working properly?
Compare generation with what you expect for the time of year and check the inverter for error messages. We can inspect and test it.
Can you fit bird mesh?
Yes. Mesh around the edges of the array stops birds nesting underneath, without harming them.
