Northern Beaches
Solar panel cleaning on the Northern Beaches
Solar panels on the Northern Beaches lose output to salt film near the coast and leaf litter in the bush suburbs. We clean them with purified water and soft brushes, with no detergent and no pressure, from the ground or a ladder 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 the ocean and Pittwater 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.
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.
How often on the Northern Beaches
For most homes on the Northern Beaches, solar panel cleaning is worth doing every 6 months. Salt film builds up on low-tilt panels.
What affects the quote
- Leaf litter and droppings to clear first.
- Salt film on low-tilt panels.
- Roof height and reach.
Every quote is fixed and itemised by area after a quick look.

Our method
How we handle solar panels
Nathan is punctual, knowledgeable, polite and left our place neat and tidy.
Step 01 of 04
Inspect first
We look for cracks, damaged cables, loose clips and birds nesting underneath, and photograph anything we find.
He was professional, responsive, and delivered exactly as promised.
Step 02 of 04
Cool panels
We clean early or late, or let hot panels cool, because cold water on hot glass is a risk.
Great work, fair pricing, and excellent communication.
Step 03 of 04
Soft brush, pure water
Each panel is brushed gently with purified water flowing through the brush head.
Excellent service! Nathan is punctual and nothing is a problem.
Step 04 of 04
Rinse and dry clear
A final pure-water rinse from the top edge down, and the panels dry without spots.

Nathan did a great job washing the external sides of our house. The weatherboard was dirty and had cobwebs. Nathan went above and beyond our expectations, the house was perfectly clean and all the cobwebs were gone.

Still have a question?
Talk to Nathan directly. He quotes and attends every job himself.
Do you use detergent on solar panels?
No. Purified water and soft brushes only, with no pressure on the glass or seals.
Do you need to walk on the roof?
Usually not. Most panels are cleaned from the ground or a ladder with the water-fed pole.
Will cleaning void my warranty?
Pure water and soft brushes is the method most manufacturers recommend. Check your warranty documents if you are unsure.
How often should solar panels be cleaned?
Once a year for most homes, and every six months near the coast, under trees or near busy roads.
Do you cover the whole Northern Beaches?
Yes, from Manly and Clontarf to Palm Beach and out to Duffys Forest and Terrey Hills.
Is sand in my sliding door tracks a problem?
Yes. It wears the rollers and scratches the frame. We vacuum and scrub tracks in every full clean.
