Solar Panel Cleaning
in Norwich & Norfolk
Solar Scrub provides professional solar panel cleaning throughout Norwich, Norfolk and surrounding areas.
Solar panels spend their entire working life exposed to the weather. Over time, panels can collect bird droppings, dust, pollen, algae, lichen and general atmospheric dirt.
Why Have Solar Panels Cleaned?
Rain can remove some loose contamination, but it does not always properly clean the surface of the panel, particularly where bird mess or heavier organic deposits are present.
Cleaning can help:
- Remove bird droppings and stubborn contamination
- Remove dust and organic deposits
- Improve the overall appearance of the system
- Prevent heavy dirt from remaining on the panels for extended periods
How We Clean Solar Panels
Where appropriate, we use purified water and specialist solar-cleaning equipment.
Purified water helps clean the glass without leaving the mineral spotting commonly associated with ordinary tap water.
Our aim is to clean the panel surface carefully without using aggressive chemicals or abrasive cleaning techniques.
Domestic Solar Panel Cleaning
We clean solar PV systems on houses, bungalows, garages, extensions and other residential buildings.
For a quotation, simply send us photographs showing the panels and access around the property.
Split Arrays & Difficult Access
Solar arrays are often installed across several roof elevations.
We can assess split arrays, extensions, conservatories and more complicated access arrangements individually and recommend the most suitable cleaning method.
Commercial Solar Panel Cleaning
Solar Scrub provides solar PV cleaning for commercial, agricultural and larger-scale installations throughout Norfolk and the surrounding region.
We can clean rooftop arrays, ground-mounted systems and larger solar installations where access and site conditions allow.
Larger solar installations require more planning than a typical residential clean.
We can assess access, water requirements, equipment, working areas and manpower before work begins.
For larger projects, additional experienced operatives can be arranged where required.
FAQs
-
There is no fixed cleaning interval that suits every system. Location, roof pitch, nearby trees, birds, agricultural dust and traffic pollution can all affect how quickly panels become dirty. We can assess the condition of your panels and recommend a sensible cleaning frequency.
-
Our normal solar-panel cleaning method uses purified water and specialist cleaning equipment rather than aggressive chemicals.
-
Cleaning can remove contamination that may be obstructing sunlight, but the improvement varies significantly between systems. We do not promise unrealistic percentage increases.
-
In many situations, yes. Water-fed poles and other specialist equipment can allow panels to be cleaned remotely. However, access requirements depend on the property.
-
We can install specialist solar bird-proofing mesh designed to block access beneath the panels. This is a separate service that can be combined with panel cleaning.
