Cleaning and Servicing

Get the best out of your solar system with effortless maintenance and servicing across New Zealand

Like any asset you rely on to get the job done, regular maintenance and servicing keeps your solar system looking and performing at its best. Solar energy is about getting the maximum return on investment, with the minimum impact on the environment, so ensuring your system is looked after can help keep it running for longer and with maximum performance.

Looking after your solar panels is an easy task to overlook - After all, they are on your roof, quietly harnessing clean energy for your home or business. We make it simple by offering straight forward and comprehensive servicing and cleaning services, on demand.

The importance of maintaining your solar panel system

Servicing your system means ensuring safety as well as efficiency. Your solar panel system is an important piece of machinery with a live current running through it, which can present dangers if not properly maintained by qualified professionals.

Potential issues with solar systems include:

Damage from natural causes, e.g bush fires, earthquakes or extreme wind events
The deterioration of cable insulation over time
Corrosion
Failure of defective components, or improper installation issues
Corrosion or components filling with water
Animals chewing cables or damaging components

The cost of your solar system servicing may even be offset by the improvement in efficiency you’ll experience afterwards, making it a cost-effective investment.

A drop in performance, noticeable from your rising bills or lower efficiency
Error or fault on the inverter screen

Clean panels for your clean energy solution

Clean panels not only look great, but also perform better too.

Your rooftop panels are exposed to a variety of dirt and debris over time, some of which is likely to build up over time. Cleaning also prevents overheating, and the forming of “hot spots”, where cells may crack due to the sunlight being blocked by debris. Clean panels not only perform better, but look better too.

Frequently asked questions about Solar Panel Cleaning

How often do I need my panels cleaned?

Cleaning depends on a range of factors, including climate and positioning. If you’re in a coastal area, or a spot with low rain and a lot of dust, you might require more frequent cleaning to accommodate for these conditions. One of our solar panel service experts can advise you on your specific needs.

Can I clean the panels myself?

As solar panel systems utilise a live current, it’s best to leave the cleaning to the professionals in case of any underlying issues within the system.

How do I know if my solar panels need cleaning?

If you’ve seen a drop in performance or are seeing an error on your inverter screen, it could be time for a deep clean. Likewise, your panels may just appear filmy or coated - a surefire way to tell it’s time to call in a pro and have them looked at.

What is involved in the cleaning?

We utilise a specific physical and chemical cleaner combination to give the panels a deep clean, and remove debris build up from beneath the panel and racking system. The result: A restored solar system that looks good as new and ready to perform efficiently.

Combine a solar panel cleaning with servicing for a comprehensive package designed to improve and maintain the efficiency of your system. Reach out to us now to find out more and book your service in.
