Solar Panel Cleaning Melbourne

Residential cleaning starts from $200 per clean. The final price depends on how many panels you have, how many storeys, roof pitch and access, and how dirty the panels are (heavy bird droppings or moss take longer). Commercial systems are quoted by size. We confirm the price before booking — no surprises on the day.

In the Melbourne area we generally recommend cleaning every 12 months. If your property is near a main road, construction site, farmland or has heavy bird activity, dust and droppings build up faster — every 6-12 months is recommended.

No. We clean with deionised water and purpose-made soft brushes — no pressure washers and no harsh chemicals — so the glass surface and seals are not scratched or degraded, and your panel warranty is not affected.

Rain only rinses off some loose dust. It cannot remove bird droppings, moss, tree sap or the grime that builds up along panel edges. These deposits keep shading the cells, which can cause hot spots and reduce output over time.

Ground-mounted or easily reached panels can be rinsed with a hose and a soft brush early or late in the day when the glass is cool — never with a pressure washer, abrasive pads or detergent. For roof-mounted systems the real risk is working on the roof itself, so we recommend using someone with proper height-safety procedures and equipment.

Routine cleaning is done during the day and does not require shutting down your system. Our technicians follow safe work procedures, and if we notice any wiring or component issues while cleaning, we will let you know in the report.

Yes. Commercial and larger systems are quoted separately based on system size and roof access — include your system size in the enquiry form below.

We're based in Mitcham, so the eastern suburbs are closest to us — Box Hill, Blackburn, Nunawading, Ringwood, Croydon, Doncaster and surrounds. We also clean across the rest of Melbourne; just enter your address when you enquire.
