What we do

Solar Panel Cleaning for Auchenflower homes.

Why it matters

Dirty panels can lose 5–25% of your production.

For the average Inner West home with a 6.6kW system that's $200–$600 of lost annual production. A standard clean every 12–18 months pays for itself.

Brisbane's subtropical climate is hard on solar panels. Pollen in spring, dust storms in summer, bird traffic year-round, and the occasional ash-laden hailstorm — all of it cuts your production whether you notice or not.

A properly cleaned panel produces 5–25% more power than a dirty one in the same conditions. For the average Inner West home with a 6.6kW system, that's worth $200–$600 a year in extra production. A standard clean every 12–18 months pays for itself.

How we clean

Soft-brush, deionised water, no detergents. We work from a long-reach pole on single-storey roofs and a roof-access kit on double-storey. No abrasive scrubbing — that voids most panel warranties.

We also check for:

  • Bird nesting evidence (pigeons love the warm space under panels)
  • Visible micro-cracks or hot spots
  • Loose mounting hardware
  • Inverter health indicators

What it costs

Most Inner West jobs are $250–$450 depending on system size and roof access. Bird mesh installation is quoted separately based on panel count and frame type — typically $400–$1,200 once. We'll quote up-front before any work starts.

Questions answered

Frequently asked.

How often should I clean solar panels in Brisbane?
Once every 12–18 months for most Inner West homes. Brisbane's subtropical climate (pollen, dust, bird traffic) means panels collect grime faster than drier inland areas. If you live near major trees, a busy road, or under flight paths, every 12 months. Coastal homes can stretch to 18 months.
Will dirty panels actually reduce my solar production?
Yes. Studies in Australian conditions show 5–25% production loss for moderately dirty panels, occasionally higher for heavily soiled or bird-stained panels. For the average Auchenflower home with a 6.6kW system, that's $200–$600 of lost annual production. A $300 clean usually pays for itself in 6–12 months of recovered output.
Why not just hose the panels off myself?
Tap water leaves mineral deposits that cause more soiling within weeks. Aggressive scrubbing can void your panel warranty. And the roof safety risk on a 2-storey home isn't worth $300. Professional cleans use deionised water (no residue) and the right equipment to avoid panel damage.
How much does solar panel cleaning cost in the Inner West?
For most Auchenflower / Bardon / Toowong homes: $250–$450 for a standard 6.6kW–10kW single-storey system. Double-storey adds $50–$150. Bird mesh installation is separately quoted, typically $400–$1,200 depending on panel count.
Do you cover Bardon and Milton too?
Yes — same local team covers the whole Inner West cluster: Auchenflower, Bardon, Milton, Paddington, Rosalie, Red Hill, Toowong, The Gap, and Ashgrove. Travel within the cluster is included in the quoted price.
