Solar panel cleaning for Balgowlah Heights homes

Balgowlah Heights is in the Northern Beaches Council area, about 30 minutes from our base in Elanora Heights. Big family homes on sloping blocks, bordered by the national park at Dobroyd Head. Lovely to live in, and a constant fight with damp shade and bush debris. Balgowlah Heights backs onto Sydney Harbour National Park, with walking tracks down to Forty Baskets and Reef Beach.

On sloping blocks the roof can be a long way up on the low side. We reach the panels from the uphill side wherever the roof allows.

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

Panels near Middle Harbour 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.

Balgowlah Heights homes step down the slope towards Middle Harbour from streets like Beatrice Street and Cutler Road, with views across to Clontarf and The Spit. They are generous two and three storey houses with large decks and pools set into the hillside, so there is a lot of glass facing the water and a lot of it is high above the garden.

How often in Balgowlah Heights

Working in Balgowlah Heights

Sydney Harbour National Park keeps the Heights shaded and damp, which leaves a grey film on the south and west-facing glass. We reach the downhill windows with the pole from the terraces below, and clean deck balustrades on both faces where the slope allows.
