Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Panel Cleaning
Do solar panels really need to be cleaned?
Yes. Even though they’re designed for outdoor use, dirt, dust, bird droppings, salt spray, pollen, and pollution can build up over time and reduce your solar system’s efficiency—sometimes by up to 25% or more. Regular cleaning ensures maximum performance and protects your investment.
How often should solar panels be cleaned in Brisbane and Redlands?
In most cases, solar panels should be cleaned every 6 to 12 months. However, in areas like Redlands, Cleveland, Capalaba, Logan, and the coastal suburbs of Brisbane—where you’re exposed to salty air, bushfire ash, or bird activity—it may be necessary to clean them more frequently.
Can I clean my solar panels myself?
We don’t recommend it. Climbing onto your roof can be dangerous without the right safety gear and experience. Plus, using the wrong cleaning products (like detergents or hard water) can damage the panel surface or void your warranty. Solair Electrical uses specialised equipment and water to clean your panels safely and effectively.
Will dirty solar panels affect my energy production?
Absolutely. Any build up of grime, dust, or bird droppings reduces sunlight reaching the cells. Even a light layer of dust can cause performance loss—and heavy build up can block entire rows of cells. If you've noticed lower feed-in credits or higher energy bills, it could be time for a clean.
Do I need to turn off my system before cleaning?
Yes—your solar system should be powered down using the shutdown procedure before cleaning begins. If we’re handling the job, Solair Electrical will safely shut down and restart your system as part of our service.
Is rain enough to clean solar panels?
Rain helps rinse away some loose dust, but it doesn’t remove oily grime, sap, salt, or bird waste. Think of it like your car windscreen—rain helps, but it still needs a proper wash. Professional cleaning is the best way to keep panels spotless and functioning efficiently.
What’s included in a solar panel cleaning service from Solair Electrical?
Our service includes:
- Full system shutdown and safety inspection
- Eco-friendly soft-brush and deionised water clean
- Visual inspection of panels, isolators, racking, and cabling
- Photos of before/after panel condition
- System restart and basic performance check
You’ll also receive a free health report on any issues we detect.
Is your cleaning service safe for the environment?
Yes. We use only 100% water and soft non-abrasive brushes. No chemicals or detergents are used—just the right pressure and technique to remove grime without causing damage or environmental runoff.
How long does it take to clean solar panels?
Most solar cleaning jobs take 1 to 2 hours, depending on your roof size, pitch, and how dirty the panels are. We’ll provide a clear timeframe when you book.
Do you clean residential and commercial solar systems?
Yes, we clean both home and business solar installations across Brisbane, Logan, Redlands, Capalaba, Ipswich, and the surrounding suburbs. Whether it’s a small 6.6kW system or a 100kw commercial array—we’ve got the tools and experience.
Can you combine solar panel cleaning with a full system check or maintenance?
Definitely. In fact, it’s the best time to do it. Many customers book their annual Solar Health Check & Clean together for peace of mind. Ask us about bundle pricing when you call.
