Your solar power system is a long-term economic and environmental investment and to maximise your panels effectiveness and reduce your electricity spending you want to ensure they are performing as best they can. Regular solar panel cleaning and maintenance is needed to maximise its efficiency and get the most out of your system. One of the most overlooked aspects of solar power maintenance – yet also one of its most important – is keeping your solar panel system clean.
That’s where we come in. Clean solar panels are up to 40% more efficient, allowing you to generate as much power as they were designed to. If your solar panels aren’t as clean as they could be, then you could be losing out on some power and returns on your investment.
Brisbane Window Cleaning specialise in professional solar panel cleaning across Brisbane and surrounds, so you don’t have to worry about maintaining your system yourself – call us today!
Why Your Solar Panels Need Cleaning
Solar panels rely on capturing sunlight to generate electricity, with the amount of electricity you generate depending largely on how much sunlight that your solar panels have absorbed. The more sunlight that it captures, the more power you generate. Naturally, anything that hinders your solar panels’ absorption of sunlight will affect your power generation.
Debris and other outdoor elements, for example, can prevent some sunlight from getting through to your panels and being absorbed. Not to mention all the dust and dirt that solar panels will naturally accumulate after a period of time. The following are some of the common culprits that make solar panels dirty and can affect your power output:
-
Wind dust
-
Flowers and pollen
-
Leaves and branches
-
Bird droppings
-
Airborne pollutants
In order to reduce your electricity bills and achieve the maximum savings solar panels provide, regular professional cleaning is recommended
Great service and professionalism from the team at Brisbane Window and Solar. Windows and gutters are looking great.

SOLAR PANEL CLEANING
Solar panels may look simple, but cleaning them is a whole different matter. Although most solar panel are often described as ‘self-cleaning’, they normally develop thin layers of dirt and grime on their surfaces, which, in some cases, may be not enough for rainwater or a light rinse to wash away.
Leaving it to rainwater can only do so much (especially if you live in particularly dry areas), and rinsing them with a hose will hardly graze deep-seated layers of dirt. But this hasn’t stopped many people from attempting to clean their solar panels themselves.
While it’s certainly possible for owners to thoroughly clean their own solar panels, it’s not as simple and straightforward as most people think. A proper clean involves more than just scrubbing the panels with soap and water; it requires a more meticulous approach that not only takes away any dirt and debris, but also keeps the panels in top condition. Depending on your system’s size and configuration, you may also need specialised tools and equipment to do this successfully.

OUR SOLAR PANEL CLEANERS
Our Solar Panel cleaners are also trained to work in varying degrees of heights, so the risks of falling and getting injured are minimised when working with our team. In fact, all of our professional solar panel cleaners carry an RIIWHS204D card with them – proof that they know how to work safely in heights and similar settings.
Furthermore, our solar panel cleaning Brisbane service also uses chemical-free solutions. Not only does this make our service more environment-friendly, but also safer, especially for those who collect rainwater from roofs. This means no chemical run-offs in water tanks and no strong, harmful substance leeching into the ground. We also won’t use abrasives or squeegees on your solar panels, ensuring its protection and preventing unwanted scratches and marks on their surfaces.
The two young men arrived on the time set down and introduced themselves. I showed them through the house and what was to be done.
I was extremely happy with the final work. My house now looks clean and healthy, the gutters and drains are clear of leaves and the solar panels are operating at full strength. Good work and friendly young men.

The lads from Brisbane Window Cleaning did an excellent job at my house in Norman Park. They arrived on time, were very thorough in inspecting the site when they arrived, and ascertained my exact requirements. Finally I have found reliable window cleaners whom I will be engaging three times a year. Thank you!!
