Solar panel cleaning in Hunters Hill

Solar panel cleaning for Hunters Hill homes

Hunters Hill is in the Hunter's Hill Council area, about 45 minutes from our base in Elanora Heights. Hunters Hill has some of Australia's oldest sandstone houses. Cleaning them is slow, careful work, and that's how we do it. Blast through that skin and the wall starts to erode.

Panels near the Lane Cove and Parramatta rivers collect a salt film that rain doesn't fully rinse off, especially on low-tilt roofs. A pure-water clean brings the glass back without leaving residue.

Panels on slate and old terracotta roofs are cleaned from the ground or a ladder, because those roofs are fragile and shouldn't be walked on.

Under trees, panels collect leaves, sap and bird droppings, and partial shade from debris on a few cells can drag down the whole string.

Old glass can have bubbles, waves and fine scratches that a clean won't remove, and old putty is fragile. We clean these windows slowly, by hand, and keep the water and pressure off the frames and the soft sandstone around them.

How often in Hunters Hill
