Solar panel cleaning service

Professional solar panel cleaning service, South Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire

GB Solar are passionate about helping our customers get the best out of their systems. Solar PV can be a big financial investment, and we always ensure we advise and support our customers in achieving optimum energy generation and peak performance.

We often get asked “How often should I clean my solar panels?”

Here in the UK, we generally have enough rainy days to ensure our solar panels are not getting too dirty. However, overtime they can accumulate dust, debris and bird droppings. This can be heightened if you live in an area surrounded by trees, areas frequented with bird activity or industrial areas with poorer air quality.

A build up of varying dirt can significantly reduce the amount of sunlight your panels absorb, leading to a decrease in energy production. 

With this in mind, an occasional clean is recommended; perhaps every 1-2 years. Clean solar panels absorb more sunlight; maximising energy production and resulting in a higher output. A panel clean can contribute to the overall efficiency and longevity of your PV system.

Our cleaning service is designed to provide a safe, effective and hassle-free solution to keep your panels in top condition. We use specialist equipment, techniques and knowledge to ensure a thorough clean without any damage.

Commercial solar panel cleaning

For commercial enterprises, every percentage point of efficiency matters, directly impacting your operational costs and overall profitability. Following a significant investment in Solar PV for your business, it is important to maintain the system’s integrity to ensure consistent, reliable power generation.

A clean Solar PV system translates directly to higher energy production and substantial cost savings. GB Solar have experience within the industrial and commercial sector, and it can be surprising to see how heavily soiled panels can reduce optimum generation, resulting in a direct impact upon a businesses bottom line.

GB Solar employ industry approved, non-abrasive equipment to ensure a safe, effective clean that preserves the delicate surface of your panels and keeps them performing at their absolute best, year after year.
