Do Solar Panels Need Cleaning?

- Visible build-up of grime/dirt
- Bird droppings
- Build-up of algae

Solar Panel Cleaning FAQ
-
How much does it cost to clean solar panels in the UK?
Prices go from around £3 per panel to £6 depending on quantity and ease of access. The more panels that need cleaning and the easier they are to access, the lower the cost per panel will be. In the picture on the left, there are approximately 160 panels so the cost for each is around £3 per panel plus vat.
The average household installation of 16 solar panels would typically cost between £40 &£60 to clean them.
