No jargon, no upsell. Just what you're actually buying, when it's worth doing, and why a professional makes the difference. ### What it is Exterior cleaning of roof-mounted and ground-mounted solar PV panels using a deionised (pure) water reach-and-pole system. Soft-bristle brush agitation to lift dust, pollen, bird mess, salt film and organic growth, followed by a pure-water rinse that dries without leaving mineral spotting on the glass. ### Who it's for Homeowners with solar PV across Fareham, Gosport, Portchester, Whiteley, Stubbington, Titchfield, Paulsgrove, Cosham, Havant and Leigh Park — plus landlords and small commercial premises with array installations that have never been cleaned since fitting. ### When you need it Most domestic arrays benefit from a clean once every 12 months, or every 6 months where the property sits under trees, near farmland, beside a busy road, or close to the coast where salt film builds faster. Many customers book it alongside their window or gutter visit. ### Why professional matters Solar panels are generation equipment with a glass face. Anything sitting on that glass — dust, pollen film, lichen along the frame edges, bird mess — blocks light reaching the cells. Cleaning is the one piece of maintenance an owner actually controls, and it's done safely from the ground rather than off a ladder or by walking the roof. What happens if you leave it ## Small problem now. Expensive problem later. ### Soiling you can't see from the ground A panel can look fine from the driveway and still carry a bonded film of pollen, road dust and organic growth. It builds gradually, so the drop in performance is easy to miss until someone points it out. ### Bird mess and shading Solid droppings block light completely on the cells beneath them. Because panels are wired in series strings, a small area of heavy soiling can drag on more than just the patch it covers. ### Lichen and moss creep at the frame edges Growth starts on the aluminium frame and works inwards across the glass edge, holding damp against the seal and slowly encroaching on the active cell area. ### Damage from the wrong cleaning method Pressure washers, detergents, washing-up liquid and abrasive pads can all harm panel coatings, seals and frame gaskets. Once anti-reflective coating is scratched or chemically etched, it does not come back. ### Roof access risk Climbing onto a pitched tiled roof to clean panels risks a fall and risks cracked tiles. There is no cleaning job on a domestic roof worth either. How the job runs ## A clear, repeatable 5-step process. 1. 01 ### Send photos + postcode A couple of photos showing the roof elevation with the array, plus your postcode. Most solar cleans are quoted from photos without a site visit. 2. 02 ### Same-day written quote A clear price by text or email, usually the same day, based on panel count, roof height and access. Discounted when combined with a window or gutter visit. 3. 03 ### Access and safety check On arrival the working area is assessed — overhead cables, ground conditions, conservatory roofs and pole reach. Nothing is cleaned that can't be reached safely from the ground. 4. 04 ### Pure-water clean Panels are wetted, agitated with a soft-bristle brush to release bonded soiling, then rinsed with deionised water. No detergents, no pressure, no contact with wiring or connectors. 5. 05 ### Sheet-dry and walk-around Pure water dries without spotting, so the glass is left clear. Quick walk-around before payment by card, bank transfer, GoCardless or cash — with the free re-clean promise if anything's missed. What you actually get ## Concrete outcomes. No fluffy promises. ### Clean glass, unobstructed light The only thing between daylight and your cells should be clean glass. Removing bonded film, bird mess and edge growth lets the array work to the specification it was installed to. ### No roof walking, no ladders Everything is done from the ground with a carbon-fibre reach-and-pole system. No weight on your tiles, no ladders leaning on gutters, and nobody's safety put on the line. ### Panel-safe method Deionised water and soft bristles only. No pressure washing, no bleach, no abrasives, and nothing that puts panel coatings, seals or frame gaskets at risk. ### Protects the seals and frames Clearing lichen and moss from frame edges stops growth trapping moisture against the seals, which is where long-term deterioration usually starts. ### One visit, one team Panels, windows, gutters, fascias and conservatory glazing can all be handled in the same visit — one mobilisation, one price, less disruption. ### £1,000,000 insured Full public liability cover with Simply Business and Hiscox, so the work on your roof is properly protected. Method, materials & detail ## The proper standard — explained. Solar panel cleaning sits naturally alongside pure-water window cleaning because it uses the same equipment, the same water treatment and the same safety principle: reach the glass from the ground, and leave nothing behind on it. Here's exactly how the work is carried out and where the sensible limits are. ### Why pure water is the right choice for PV glass Deionised water has had its dissolved minerals stripped out. That matters twice over: it lifts and holds dirt more aggressively than tap water, and it evaporates without leaving the mineral spotting that hard South Hampshire tap water bakes onto glass in sunshine. On a solar panel, mineral spotting is not just cosmetic — it's a residue sitting between daylight and the cells. Pure water also means no detergents, so nothing is left on the panel to attract dirt back or to run down into the seals and connectors. ### Reach-and-pole access, not roof access Panels are cleaned with a lightweight carbon-fibre pole from ground level, the same system used for reach-and-pole window cleaning to around five storeys. Nobody stands on the tiles, no ladder is leant against the guttering, and no weight goes anywhere near the array or its mounting rails. Where a section genuinely cannot be reached safely from the ground — a steep hidden pitch, an obstructed rear elevation — you'll be told before the work is booked rather than after. ### What never touches your panels No pressure washer. No bleach or sodium hypochlorite. No washing-up liquid or general-purpose detergent. No abrasive pads or scrapers. Each of those can scratch or chemically dull anti-reflective coatings, perish frame gaskets, or force water past seals. Manufacturers and installers are consistent on this point, and the method used here is built around it. ### How often panels should be cleaned locally For most South Hampshire homes, once a year is the sensible baseline. Twice a year makes sense for properties under overhanging trees, near open farmland at pollen and harvest time, on busy roads carrying traffic film, or close to the water at Gosport, Stubbington and Portchester, where salt-laden air deposits a fine film. Arrays at a shallow pitch also self-clean less in rainfall than steeply pitched ones, so they hold soiling for longer. ### Booked alongside the rest of the exterior Most solar cleans are added to an existing visit. If the pole system is already on site for the windows, adding the panels, the conservatory glazing or a gutter clear costs less than booking each separately. Customers on a 4-weekly or 8-weekly window round typically have the panels done once a year on a scheduled visit and simply forget about it in between. ### Honest limits Cleaning removes soiling — it doesn't repair hardware. If a panel is cracked, delaminating, showing burn marks, or the array is underperforming with visibly clean glass, that's an electrical or hardware issue for your installer or an MCS-registered engineer, not a cleaning job. If anything of that sort is spotted during a clean, you'll be told and shown a photo. No inverter work, no wiring, no isolation of the system is carried out — the work here is confined to the outside face of the glass and the frames.
