When your solar panels are dirty you experience a significant drop in energy output, for some panels this goes to as much as a 50% drop due to excess dirt built up. Our solar panel cleaning services help you avoid this! Our experts can come out to your home or business on a regular basis to efficiently clean your solar panels. It’s highly recommended that you wash your solar panels once every 3 months in order to keep the energy production level at its highest all year round.
A Star cleaning invested in the Reach and Wash System (Water Fed Pole) to eliminate the Health and Safety concerns regarding high level solar panel cleaning in Crewe and surrounding areas.
Our specialists use this with 100% pure water to take care of your solar panels safely.
Unlike windows, the panels on your roof need to have a clean and clear surface to ensure they are working at their maximum efficiency. If they are not at their optimum performance it means they are not producing the amount of electricity that they could be. From ground level the panels may appear to be clean, just like your windows. Up close however, you can see the grime that has built up from the dirt and pollution in the air. A more noticeable deposit that can be left on panels consists of bird droppings. These tend to completely block the light from areas of the photovoltaic panel and can considerably reduce their effectiveness.
Having your solar panels professionally cleaned regularly is important, to keep them in good condition and producing as much green energy as possible.

How do you clean solar panels?
As professional cleaners, A Star Cleaning will use a water fed pole system that can reach the panels on your roof from the ground. We use de-ionised water and a soft head brush attachment so as not to damage the panels. Our purified water contains no chemicals or detergents. No sticky residue is left on the solar panels, therefore there is nothing for the dust to stick too, and they will stay clean up to 10 times longer. The water, along with our brush heads, sucks the dirt off the solar panels. We do not use the squeegee method to avoid streaking. We know that Solar panels are relatively fragile. You cannot stand, lean or put much pressure on them. Our long telescopic poles with soft brush heads safely clean the solar panels, while not applying much pressure. Because we do not use chemicals or detergent there is no risk of damaging the panels.
