Solar Panels FAQ
Everything you need to know about our solar panels service in Melbourne. Can't find your answer? Call us directly.
How often should solar panels be cleaned?
Every 6-12 months is ideal. Properties near trees, construction sites, main roads, or the coast accumulate grime faster and may benefit from 6-monthly cleaning. We can advise based on your location.
Can I just use a garden hose?
We don't recommend it. Tap water contains minerals that leave white spots on panels, reducing efficiency. High-pressure hoses can also damage seals and connections. Our purified water system is specifically designed for solar panels.
Will cleaning void my warranty?
No - most manufacturers recommend regular cleaning. In fact, some warranties require periodic maintenance. Our cleaning method is non-invasive and manufacturer-approved.
How much more power will I get?
It depends on how dirty your panels are, but studies show dirty panels can lose 15-25% efficiency. Most customers notice a measurable improvement on their next energy bill after cleaning.
Do you offer bird proofing?
Yes - we install mesh barriers around the panel array to prevent birds from nesting underneath. This is a one-time installation that prevents ongoing mess, damage, and fire risk from nesting materials.
Can you clean panels on a steep roof?
Yes, our crews are trained in working at heights and carry appropriate safety equipment for steep and multi-storey roofs. We assess every roof before starting work.
