Why clean your solar panels?

In the UK, the combination of rain, pollen, and industrial pollution creates a unique cleaning challenge. While rain helps wash some dirt away, it doesn’t remove sticky residue or bird droppings. Professional cleaning is essential to maintain performance.

Did you know dirty solar panels can reduce their energy production by up to 30%?

GoKill can help you save on your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint by ensuring your solar panels maintain their optimal performance. With expertise in both small-scale and large-scale installations as well as residential properties, we are equipped to handle projects of any size, delivering exceptional results that help you reduce energy costs and meet sustainability goals.

Residential Solar Panel Cleaning

We specialise in cleaning rooftop solar panels for homeowners. Dirt, bird guano droppings, moss, and grime build-up can block sunlight and reduce efficiency. Our team uses soft-brush technology and deionised water systems for a streak-free finish that won’t damage delicate panel surfaces.

Residential solar panel cleaning can be easily included with a solar panel bird-proofing installation at a discounted price, providing a cost-effective solution for maintaining and protecting your panels.

Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend cleaning your solar panels every 6-12 months, depending on environmental factors like nearby trees, bird activity, and pollution levels. For high-performance systems, especially in areas with heavy dust or industrial activity, quarterly cleaning is recommended. Regular maintenance ensures panels operate at maximum efficiency and extend their lifespan.

While it may seem straightforward, cleaning solar panels requires specialised knowledge, tools, and safety measures. DIY cleaning can be dangerous, especially for rooftop installations, and may damage panels if improper techniques or harsh chemicals are used. Our professional team uses non-abrasive tools, deionised water systems, and low-pressure cleaning methods, ensuring a streak-free finish without voiding warranties.

Commercial solar farms are significant investments designed to generate high levels of energy output. Over time, dirt, dust, bird droppings, and debris accumulate, reducing energy efficiency by up to 30%. Regular cleaning helps maximise power production, ensures compliance with manufacturer warranties, and extends the lifespan of the system. For large-scale farms, even a 5% efficiency increase can translate into substantial financial savings and improved ROI.

Keeping solar panels clean ensures they operate at peak efficiency, generating more renewable energy and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. This leads to lower carbon emissions and a greater contribution to sustainability goals. Additionally, our cleaning services use eco-friendly methods, such as biodegradable solutions and deionised water, to minimise environmental impact during the cleaning process.

At GoKill, we prioritise sustainability in every aspect of our service. Our cleaning methods include:

Deionised water systems: Purified water that leaves no streaks or mineral deposits.
