Solar Panel Cleaning

Over time, dirt, dust, and debris can accumulate on your solar panels, blocking sunlight and reducing their efficiency. Even a small amount of build-up can impact your system’s ability to generate power, which means you’re losing potential savings on your energy bills. Regular cleaning ensures your system is performing at its best, providing the most value for your investment.

Solar Panel Cleaning FAQs

Over time, dirt, dust, and debris can accumulate on your solar panels, blocking sunlight and reducing their efficiency. Even a small amount of build-up can impact your system’s ability to generate power, which means you’re losing potential savings on your energy bills. Regular cleaning ensures your system is performing at its best, providing the most value for your investment.

No, when done properly, cleaning solar panels is safe. We use RO (reverse osmosis) water and rolling brushes, which are gentle on your panels and prevent any damage. Unlike harsh chemicals used by some window cleaners, our cleaning method leaves your panels free from residue or smearing, ensuring maximum efficiency.

Generally, solar panels should be cleaned once or twice a year, depending on environmental factors, for example if you live in an area with heavy dust or bird activity. We offer one-off cleans or an Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) for regular cleaning and upkeep.

If your panels are covered in dust, bird droppings, lichen or algae, rain won’t be enough to clean them thoroughly. We recommend scheduling professional cleaning once or twice per year to maintain optimal performance.

Just like any other major investment, your solar system needs periodic checks to ensure everything is working as it should. Solar maintenance can catch small issues before they become costly repairs, ensuring your system is running efficiently and protecting your long-term savings.

Our PV health check covers the entire system, including:

  • Checking for damage to panels and wiring
  • Verifying inverter functionality
  • Ensuring voltage and current readings are optimal
  • Examining the overall performance of your system

Some signs your system may need attention include:

  • A decrease in performance (lower energy production)
  • Visible damage or dirt on your panels
  • A drop in the inverter’s efficiency or fault codes

If you notice any of these, it will be a good idea to schedule a maintenance check.

At BJC Electrical Services, we offer competitive pricing for our Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMCs), starting at just £29.99 + VAT per month. This covers annual PV safety checks, panel cleaning, and any warranty-related work. Regular maintenance is a cost-effective way to protect your investment and avoid expensive repairs in the future.

Without proper maintenance, your system may not function at peak efficiency, resulting in lower energy production and higher costs. In the worst-case scenario, neglecting maintenance can lead to more expensive repairs or even premature failure of your equipment. Keeping your system well-maintained ensures you get the most from your investment.

Yes, we offer one-off inspections and repairs if you prefer not to commit to an annual contract. However, an AMC ensures ongoing support and discounts on additional services, so you’ll always have peace of mind.
