To ensure your Solar System is working at optimum levels, and to protect your investment, it’s important to have your Solar System maintained and cleaned by a Professional.
Regular servicing will ensure you’re receiving maximum savings on electricity bills and peace of mind your system is functioning safely and efficiently.
​
Simply cleaning your solar panels can increase production by 20-30%!
Benefits of Solar Panel Cleaning & Maintenance
IMPROVE EFFICIENCY
Regular cleaning makes an enormous difference. There are grains of sand, dust particles, and debris in the environment, which even rainwater won’t clean.
These eventually
build up and contribute to wear and tear and decrease panel efficiency.
​
​
IMPROVE
ROI
TIME
Clean and well maintained panels help to achieve a faster return on your investment (ROI).
Clean panels accommodate more light reaching the cells, and in turn generate more
solar power maximising efficiency.
Extended periods of dirty panels can impact your ROI time.
EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR SYSTEM
Along with cleaning, a regular maintenance & safety program, undertaken by professionals,
will extend the lifetime of your System and ensure optimal production.

How Often Should Solar be Serviced?
The Clean Energy Council (CEC) recommends setting up an annual maintenance schedule to ensure your solar system is safe and functioning efficiently.
What should prompt a One-off Inspection of Your Solar System?
The Clean Energy Council recommends a service if you experience any of the following issues:
-
A change in production you may notice through monitoring or energy bill.
-
Warnings or alerts generated by the system through monitoring software or on the inverter itself.
-
Before moving into or buying a property with an existing system.
-
Build-up of debris – trees that drop leaves and branches on the system.
-
To check for rats, pigeons or possums etc that may be damaging your system.

SOLAR PANEL BIRD PROOFING
Benefits of
Bird Proofing Solar Panels
PROTECT YOUR SOLAR PANELS AND STOP CORROSION
Birds can damage exposed panel wiring and their droppings are acidic, especially pigeon droppings.
When droppings build up, they can start to corrode the hardware that keeps your solar panels running efficiently, and in turn reducing performance.
PREVENT ROOF DAMAGE
When birds nest under the panels, nesting material and feathers can create blockages and water build-up under the solar panels.
This build-up could result in water seepage into the roof sheathing and insulation on tiled roofs.
REDUCE
RISK
Bird proofing protection significantly reduces the risk of overall damage to your Solar System.

​
Signs of Bird Infestation in Your Solar Panel System
-
Gutters and drainpipes clogged with feathers or nesting materials
-
Increased bird droppings on the roof, solar panels, walls, fascias, eaves
-
Loud scratching, screeching and crying of young birds
-
Collection of nesting material –grass, twigs, feathers, dried mud around property
-
Damage to exposed electrical wiring around solar panels and hose
