Solar Panel Cleaning
Restore lost efficiency without scratching the glass.
How does solar panel cleaning work?
Solar panels lose efficiency as dust, pollen, salt and bird droppings build up on the glass, and rain alone doesn't clean them properly. We clean panels using soft brushes and pure water, the method recommended to avoid scratching the surface or voiding warranties.
Cleaner panels mean better energy output, which pays for itself over time. We work safely at height and treat the array with care.
Suitable for both residential rooftop systems and larger commercial arrays.
- Free, fixed-price quotes, no surprises
- Surface-matched pressure & treatment
- Fully insured, owner-operated

FAQ
Solar Panel Cleaning, your questions answered
Will cleaning my solar panels improve their output?
Dirty panels lose efficiency, dust, bird droppings and grime block light from reaching the cells. A gentle clean restores output without scratching the glass or risking your warranty.
Is it safe to clean panels without damaging them?
Yes, we use a soft-wash method and purified water made for solar glass, so there's no harsh pressure or abrasive scrubbing on the panel surface or seals.
How often should I have this done?
For most Sydney homes, every 12–18 months keeps mould and grime from taking hold, sooner for properties near the coast, under trees, or in damp, shaded spots. On an AW+ plan we track the timing for you so it never gets forgotten.
Do I need to be home while you work?
Not necessarily. As long as we can access the areas being cleaned and an outdoor tap, plenty of our residential jobs are done while you're out, we confirm everything beforehand and send photos when it's finished.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, AW Pressure Washing is fully insured, and we're owner-operated, so the person who quotes your job is the person responsible for the result.
Is the quote really free and fixed?
Yes. Quotes are free and fixed, you'll know the price before we start, with no hourly meter and no surprises on the invoice. A quick call with a couple of photos is usually all we need.
Pressure washing or soft washing: which will you use?
Whichever the surface needs. Hard surfaces like concrete driveways take high pressure; render, roofs, timber and painted surfaces get a low-pressure soft wash. We are trained in both and always match the method to the material.
