Solar panels are brilliant pieces of technology — but like anything exposed to the British weather, they don’t stay clean for long. Whilst completing an external window clean for our client, I couldn’t resist asking whether they’d like these two solar panels freshened up as well. They were looking a little on the green side, and a quick professional wash brought them straight back to their former glory.

A clean solar panel isn’t just about appearance. Dirt, algae, bird mess and general grime all reduce efficiency. These two units will now work far more effectively, helping the homeowner get the best possible return on their investment.

Why Solar Panel Cleaning in Northampton Matters


Solar panels rely on maximum light exposure. Even a thin film of grime can reduce output. Regular cleaning helps:

  • Improve energy production

  • Extend the lifespan of the panels

  • Maintain warranty conditions (many manufacturers require periodic cleaning)

  • Prevent long‑term staining or lichen growth


How Often Should You Clean Solar Panels?


Most UK homes benefit from a clean once or twice a year, depending on:

  • Nearby trees

  • Bird activity

  • Mossy roofs

  • Agricultural dust

  • Traffic pollution


Our Cleaning Method


We use a pure‑water system and soft‑wash techniques designed specifically for solar panels — no harsh chemicals, no abrasives, and no risk to the panel surface or framework.
