Commercial Solar Panel Cleaning

Q: How often do solar panels need to be cleaned?

To achieve optimal efficiency for your solar panels, it is best to clean them once a year. Studies have found that panels that are professionally cleaned once a year are 12% more efficient per year than those cleaned solely by rainwater. Having your panels cleaned professionally at least once a year will ensure they are working hard for you, reducing your bottom line.

Q: How do professionals clean solar panels?

You may have seen some of our specialised tools in the photos across the website. These tools are designed to provide your panels with a deep clean without damaging the protective glass on top. With these tools we used a pre-filtered de-ionised water solution that cleans while ensuring a spot free dry.

Q: Do you have to turn off the solar panels to clean them?

For the safety of our team, we will shut the solar panels off while we are cleaning them. They will then be reactivated when we have finished cleaning them.

At Crystal Clear Solar, we provide professional, large-scale commercial solar cleaning services. From warehouses and retail buildings to schools and industrial sites, we help businesses get more from every ray of sun.

Commercial scale clean with large scale benefits

Improve your bottom line

Clean panels means more light getting into the sensors of your solar panels. This can then be converted into more power for your business, reducing the amount of energy you take from the grid, saving you money.

Uncover potential problems

With a 16-point inspection and thermal imaging we will uncover any potential problems before they become an issue. This way you can fix your panels before it becomes a big and expensive issue, saving you time and money in future.

Clear off grime

Bird dropping, dust, leaves, and water all build up on your panels over time. These build up, layer by layer, reducing the amount of light getting through to your panels. This can really reduce the efficiency of your panels.

Clean panels regardless of scale

We are experienced at delivering a comprehensive solar clean and inspection to commercial solar panels at a variety of scales. This means that we can help you out regardless of whether you have a large or small scale job.

Why Cleaning Your Solar Panels Matters

Solar panels are designed to soak up sunlight, not dust, dirt, or bird droppings. When grime builds up, energy output drops.

Accumulation of dirt or debris can reduce output by 20% to 30%
Manufacturer warranties often require regular maintenance
Organic material, like leaves and bird nests, can cause hot spots
Poor maintenance shortens your system’s lifespan
Dirty panels may affect compliance with green building goals

A routine commercial solar panel cleaning service is the simplest way to avoid energy waste while protecting your investment for the long run.

The Benefits Our Commercial Solar Panel Cleaning Service Brings

Clean solar panels don’t just look better, they work harder. For businesses relying on solar energy, a dirty panel means lost efficiency, higher power bills, and potential long-term damage. That’s why regular commercial solar panel cleaning is the smart move.

Unsure if you need commercial solar panel cleaning? These perks speak for themselves:

Increased System Efficiency: Our customers regularly see noticeable output gains after a thorough clean, especially on older or heavily exposed rooftops.
Lower Electricity Costs: Clean panels generate more power, so you rely less on the grid and save more each month.
Extended Panel Lifespan: Debris causes heat build-up, corrosion, or long-term wear. Cleaning removes that risk, ensuring your panels last longer.
Safety & Compliance: Stay on top of maintenance for workplace safety, warranty conditions, and green certifications.
Improved Asset Presentation: A clean, well-maintained solar panel system reflects care and professionalism, whether you’re running a school, shopfront, or large-scale facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do solar panels need to be cleaned?

How do professionals clean solar panels?

What chemicals are used to clean solar panels?

We do not use any chemicals when cleaning your panels. This is because chemicals can be harmful to your panels. They can break down the seals protecting your panels, which can let rain water or other debris beneath the protective glass, damaging the panels themselves. Chemicals often also leave a grimy residue which will impact the performance of the panels.

As well as this, using chemicals to clean your panels can void your warranty due to the associated risks.
