A layer of grime can cut a panel's output noticeably, and in South East Queensland humidity, pollen season and bird activity mean it builds up faster than most owners expect. Because it's gradual, it's rarely noticed until someone compares generation figures.
Panels are wired, elevated and easy to damage. We never use stiff brushes, harsh chemicals or high pressure. Soft-bristle tools and low-mineral water clean the glass and dry without streaking, applied safely from proper access equipment.

What affects your quote
We quote each job on its own details rather than a one-size price, so you pay for what your property actually needs. These are the main things that move the price.
- Number of panels and roof access
- Single or multi-storey, pitched or flat
- How soiled the array is
- One-off or a regular schedule
Good to know
We clean panels, we don't service or repair them. Anything electrical should go to a licensed installer.
Common questions
How much does dirt really affect output?
Heavily soiled panels can lose a meaningful share of their capacity, and even light dust has a measurable effect. A clean array simply produces more.
How often should panels be cleaned?
Once or twice a year for most homes, and more often near trees, the coast or in dusty areas. Commercial arrays often justify a quarterly clean.
Will cleaning void my warranty?
Gentle cleaning with soft tools and clean water is what manufacturers recommend. We never use pressure or abrasives.
Can't I just hose them?
A hose helps with loose dust but leaves a film and mineral spots, and getting on the roof carries real risk. A proper clean is safer and more thorough.
How often should solar panels be cleaned?
It depends on where you live. Panels near dusty roads, coastal air, trees or birds get dirty faster. Many owners clean once or twice a year. We can look at your roof and suggest a sensible interval.
Can you pressure wash solar panels?
No. High pressure can damage panels and seals. We use gentle, panel-safe methods, and check your panel maker's cleaning guidance if you have a warranty to protect.
Does rain clean solar panels?
Rain rinses off some loose dust, but it does not remove bird droppings, pollen film or baked-on grime, and it can leave streaks. A proper clean removes what rain leaves behind.
