More about solar panel cleaning
When should panels be cleaned?
We recommend cleaning twice a year: at the end of autumn to maximise power input over the lower-sun winter months, and at the end of spring to remove pollen and dust.
Dirty panels can cause you to lose up to 30% efficiency, depending on the situation. Regular cleaning helps keep the panels clear and working at their best.
What to expect
How we carry out the work, step by step.
Check access
Assess roof access, array layout and visible panel condition.
Prepare
Set up the commercial-grade pure-water system and tools suited to the job.
Clean
Remove dust, pollen and bird droppings from accessible panels without abrasive treatment.
Check
Check accessible panels for remaining build-up. Cleaning twice a year, at the end of autumn and spring, is a useful guide.
What dirt can cost your solar panels
Dust, pollen, bird droppings and other build-up block light from reaching solar panels and reduce energy output.
Solar panel cleaning throughout the region
Our Cromwell-based team cleans suitable residential and commercial solar panels across Central Otago, Southern Lakes and the Maniototo, including Alexandra and Wanaka. Roof access, panel layout and weather affect how we plan the job, so include photos when you enquire.

Why clean solar panels?
Dust, pollen, bird droppings and grime block light from reaching the panels and reduce output. Cleaning removes that build-up.
How often should panels be cleaned?
We recommend twice a year: at the end of autumn before the lower-sun winter months, and at the end of spring to remove pollen and dust.
Will cleaning improve solar output?
Removing build-up helps panels receive more light and maintain their performance. Dirty panels can lose up to 30% efficiency, depending on the situation.
Can you clean every roof and system?
We can access many systems, but roof pitch, height, weather and safe access need to be checked first. Send us the details and photos so we can advise.
