Home › Solar Panel Cleaning in George
Your panels are an investment — protect the return
Solar has boomed across George and the Garden Route, but many owners don't realise how much production dirty panels quietly lose. Dust, pollen, bird droppings and coastal grime build a film over the glass that can reduce output by as much as 20 to 30%.
We clean panels with deionised water and soft brushes designed for solar glass — no detergents, no abrasives, and no high pressure. That matters, because harsh methods and chemicals can void panel warranties. Our approach is completely warranty-safe.
Homes, farms and commercial roofs
From rooftop residential systems to larger commercial and agricultural installations, we have the access equipment to clean panels safely at height. We work carefully around mountings and cabling, and we'll flag anything unusual we spot up there — cracked glass, lifting connectors, nesting birds — so you know about it early.
How often is cleaning needed?
For most Garden Route systems we recommend a clean every six months. Panels near the coast, close to trees, or on farms with dust exposure often benefit from more frequent visits. After the first clean, you'll see the difference on your inverter's production figures — that's the best proof there is.
Frequently asked questions
Will cleaning damage my solar panels?
No. We use deionised water and soft solar-glass brushes only — no chemicals, no high pressure, no abrasives. The method is safe for panel coatings and doesn't affect your warranty.
How much output do dirty panels actually lose?
Studies and our clients' own inverter readings show losses of 20–30% on heavily soiled panels. Even a light film costs you meaningful generation over a season.
How often should solar panels be cleaned?
Every six months for most systems. Coastal, farm or tree-shaded installations may need it more often.
