Why clean your panels

Clean panels work harder

Rain doesn’t wash solar panels clean. It runs off and leaves a film of dirt behind, while bird droppings, pollen and moss around the edges build up year after year.

  • Get the output you paid forAnything on the glass blocks sunlight, so dirty panels make less electricity. Keeping them clean protects the return on your investment.
  • Stop marks setting inBird droppings and lichen bake on in the sun and get harder to shift the longer they are left.
  • Gentle on your panelsSoft brushes and purified water, safe for the panel glass and frames.

How solar panel cleaning works

Pure water, from the ground up

Our pure water system is the same one we use on windows and conservatory roofs: purified water through long, lightweight poles, so most panels are cleaned safely from the ground.

  1. Assessment

    How many panels you have, where they are and how we will reach them. Photographs added to your quote request help the office plan the visit.

  2. Access sorted

    Water-fed poles reach most roofs from the ground. For higher or harder-to-reach panels, we bring the access equipment the job needs.

  3. The pure water clean

    A soft brush and purified water lift the dirt, dust and droppings. With the minerals filtered out, the water dries clear, so the panels are left without streaks or spots.

  4. Final check

    Frames and edges are rinsed, and a last look over makes sure nothing has been missed.

Protect your savings

One-off, or clean all year round

Solar panels are an investment, and clean panels make the most of it. Choose a single clean, or keep them at their best with regular visits.

Regular cleaning

Keep them at their best

Once or twice a year keeps your panels producing close to their best, so you keep getting the savings you invested for.

Easy to add to your regular window cleaning visits.

One-off clean

A fresh start

For panels that haven’t been cleaned in a while, or after building work, a dusty summer or a build-up of bird droppings.

We’ll tell you how often yours are likely to need it.

How quickly panels get dirty depends on nearby trees, birds, farmland and the angle of the roof. The office can advise for your home.

Quick response - did an excellent job for an excellent price. No hassle - turned up when I was at work, dropped the invoice through the letterbox. What more could you want? I'd had real trouble trying to find someone to clean my windows and frames - despite local tradespersons dropping business cards through my door over the years, not one of them bothered to even reply - TLC responded with a quote next working day. Full credit to them.

TLC window cleaning was one of only a few companies that got back to me about an end of tenancy cleaning (and I contacted about 15 separate companies). Their communication was fantastic and they tried to go the extra mile to help me within the needed timeline. Thank you for your customer service!

Just get the thing done that you've been putting off! It was super easy to book, knock out multiple services, and a great job done by Perry. Wish I would have done it sooner. Would recommend to others.

How much does solar panel cleaning cost in Ipswich?

Every installation is quoted individually. The price depends on the number of panels, where they are and how they can be reached. Photographs help the office quote.

Does cleaning solar panels really make a difference?

Yes. Dirt and bird droppings block sunlight, so clean panels produce more electricity than dirty ones. How much depends on how dirty they are and where they are sited.

How often should solar panels be cleaned?

Most homes once or twice a year, and more often near trees, farmland or where birds gather. The office can advise for your panels.

Do you use chemicals on solar panels?

No. We use purified water and soft brushes, which clean the glass without leaving any residue behind.

Can you reach high or awkward panels?

Yes. Water-fed poles reach most roofs from the ground, and we have access equipment for higher and harder-to-reach installations.

Do I need to be home?

Not usually, as long as we can reach the panels and get to an outside space to set up.

Can you clean my windows at the same time?

Yes. Add both services to the same quote request and the office will quote for them together.
