Once you make the switch to solar energy, you’ll see a reduction in your energy bills and further reduce your reliance on the grid while making strides towards energy independence. Regular Solar panel cleaning can help keep your equipment efficiency and extend your solar system’s lifespan to get the maximum solar ROI.
Solahart offers professional and reliable solar panel cleaning services in the Gold Coast, Redlands and Beenleigh. Our professional cleaning services provide safe solar panel maintenance at an affordable cost for residential and commercial customers.
Homeowners looking to prolong the life and performance of their solar panels should consider regular solar panel cleaning to avoid costly repairs in the future.
Above all, professional solar cleaning services offer homeowners peace of mind. Cleaning solar panels can be a DIY venture, but this is not advisable. Incorrectly cleaning your solar panels can lead to panel damage or even void the manufacturer’s warranty. There is also the risk of personal injury.
Since cleaning the panels requires roof access, there is danger involved that is best left to professionals with the correct equipment. Solar panel cleaners have a wealth of experience and specialised equipment to complete the job.
For these reasons, we highly recommend hiring a professional cleaner unless you have the experience and equipment to do it yourself.
Cleaning your solar panels involves two safety hazards: climbing a roof and handling electrical equipment. While these are solar panels, they’re still electrical devices, meaning the risk of electric shock is still there.
There’s a risk of injury from faulty wiring, damaged panels, or incorrect earthing that a professional will be able to spot. Professional cleaners are trained for these scenarios, and they’re also insured in case of injury.
The last thing anyone wants is to get shocked, fall off the roof, and void their warranty. It’s simply not worth it.
If you’re unsure of how to your clean solar panels, you could potentially void any warranties that were added on or included with your initial purchase. Professional solar panel cleaning providers, such as Solahart, keep your warranty intact.
Your priority should be long-term investment protection. A professional can detect potential issues like faulty wiring or environmental damage while cleaning, essentially providing you with an inspection and cleaning at the same time.
Regular cleaning is more than just an aesthetic practice. Corrupted panels can affect the health of your solar network. They can make your panels less effective and increase your monthly electric bills. This can have a negative effect on your ROI.
Environmental debris such as dirt, bird droppings, and pollen can reduce energy efficiency and shorten the lifespan of your solar panels. Regular maintenance and cleaning alleviate this. With regular cleaning, your panels will work properly and receive the maximum output.
According to Eco Energy, dirty solar panels can lose anywhere from 15% to 25% of their efficiency depending on the amount of debris accumulated.
We have a range of payment & finance options available that make it easier than ever before to stop paying for electricity!
When it comes to solar panel cleaning, there are two ways to go about it. You can do it yourself or hire a solar panel expert to come clean them a couple of times a year. Like anything, there are pros and cons to both.
Ultimately, the choice is yours. DIY cleaning is obviously cheaper, as you’ll be carrying out the work yourself. However, this comes with the possibility of injury and damaging the panels. Hiring a professional cleaner will come with a cost, but it is a worthwhile investment.
While we advise against cleaning your solar panels yourself and always recommend professional cleaners, if you’re going to do it yourself, you should at least follow some of our tips and best practices.
The best way to clean solar panels yourself is with a soft cloth and water diluted with a mild detergent. However, these simple household items have their limitations and may not clean the surface as thoroughly as the materials that a professional will use.
Professional cleaners have professional-grade equipment made specifically for cleaning solar panels. Hiring a professional will guarantee that your panels aren’t damaged and you stay within your warranty. They also have the expertise to clean your panels efficiently while inspecting for issues that the average person would miss.
If you’re considering taking the DIY approach and cleaning your panels yourself, bear in mind that the risks extend past your own personal safety. Voiding your warranty could lead to having to replace your solar panels and paying the costs out of pocket. This will cost you more and require you to hire a professional to handle the new installation anyway. Hiring a professional is a preventative approach and an investment in itself.
Solar panel cleaning prices vary depending on certain factors. Your roof size, panel type, number of panels, accessibility, and the cleaning company you hire will influence the cost. The roof’s height and pitch will determine the difficulty involved, as well as local climate conditions.
Of course, the frequency of the service will also determine the solar panel cleaning cost, but your solar panels will only need to be serviced once or twice a year on average. For solar panel cleaning in Australia, you can expect to pay between:
