Dirt, moss, lichen and bird droppings build up on solar panels and block the sunlight they need to generate electricity. Dovey Cleaning Services cleans domestic and commercial solar panels across Malvern and Worcester with purified water, leaving them clear and residue-free.
Solar panels only produce electricity from the light that reaches the cells. A film of grime, bird droppings or moss along the bottom edge can noticeably reduce how much power your system generates — and you won't always notice until you compare your readings.
Rain alone rarely gets panels clean. It runs off and leaves dirt behind, particularly on lower-angled roofs and near trees, fields or busy roads.
We clean with purified water and soft-bristle brushes on water-fed poles. Pure water dries without spots, so there's no film left on the glass to block light. We never use abrasive pads, harsh chemicals or high-pressure jet washers, which can damage panel coatings and seals.
For most homes in Worcestershire, a clean once or twice a year keeps panels working well. Panels near trees, farmland or where birds roost may need cleaning more often. If your system's output has dropped and there's visible dirt on the panels, it's a good time to book a clean.

Usually not. Most roof-mounted panels can be cleaned from the ground with water-fed poles. We'll let you know when we quote if your installation needs a different approach.
