Removing debris from your solar panels.

Removing Dirt, Dust & More

Due to their exposure to the elements, solar panels will collect dust, dirt, debris and bird droppings – which will reduce their output.

The Solar Panel Cleaning Process

The solar panel cleaning process involves several steps to ensure optimal performance and efficiency. Firstly, our electricians conduct a visual inspection to identify any visible dirt, dust or debris on the panels. Then, using a soft brush or sponge, we gently clean the panels with a mixture of mild detergent and water.

 

After cleaning, we rinse the panels thoroughly to remove any residue. Finally, we perform a post-cleaning inspection to ensure your panels are free from streaks or smudges. Regular cleaning helps maximise energy production by allowing the panels to absorb sunlight effectively, leading to improved efficiency and long-term cost savings.

Maintaining Solar Panels

Having your solar panels serviced by JL Electrical Solutions will provide a minimum 5 – 25% performance increase – which is money directly back into your pocket! Constant exposure to the elements can damage the various components of your system and ignoring regular maintenance will lead to reduced efficiency and increased safety risks.


The DC isolator casing can deteriorate from excessive sun, allowing rain or moisture to get inside, presenting a major fire hazard. Regular solar panel maintenance and cleaning will identify any potential faults early and keep your system in good condition. To have your solar system serviced, book by calling Josh on 0432 655 540.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about solar panel cleaning.

  • Why is solar panel cleaning important?

    Solar panel cleaning is vital in order for the system to continue functioning optimally. As dust and debris build up on the surface of the panels, it can reduce their ability to absorb sunlight and therefore reduce energy efficiency. This can lead to higher power bills and potential system failure.

  • How often should solar panels be cleaned?

    Most experts recommend cleaning your solar panels at least once or twice a year, depending on the location and environment in which they are installed. If you live in a particularly dusty area or experience heavy snowfall during winter, more frequent cleaning may be necessary. Staying on top of solar panel cleaning will ensure your system performs at its best and reduce the likelihood of breakdowns. 

  • How do you clean solar panels?

    Solar panel cleaning is a delicate task that should only be handled by trained professionals. The technician will use specialised tools and techniques to remove dust, dirt and debris from the surface of the panels without causing any damage. They may also add a protective coating to reduce UV exposure and protect the system from oxidation. If cleaning is performed incorrectly it can result in significant danger to your panels, which is why only a licensed electrician should provide cleaning.
