Even a small layer of dust or grime can block sunlight and reduce your solar output. Over time, bird droppings, leaves, and pollution can build up and impact your system’s performance and lifespan.
At Longlife Roofs, we use gentle, non-abrasive cleaning techniques designed specifically for solar panels. Our trained team works safely at height to restore your panels to peak condition—without risking damage or voiding warranties.
We offer full-service solar panel cleaning for residential rooftops across Adelaide. Whether you have a few panels or a full rooftop system, we’ll clean them thoroughly and safely.
We inspect your solar array for bird droppings, debris, shading, and damage. This helps us plan the safest and most effective cleaning approach for your panel layout and roof type.
Using purified water and soft cleaning heads, we wash the surface of your panels to remove dust, pollen, grime, and droppings. We avoid chemicals that may harm the panel glass or coatings.
We clear away leaves and debris from around the solar panels to prevent buildup or shading. This step also improves rainwater flow and reduces future cleaning needs.
We can also clean the surrounding roof area, nearby gutters, and flush downpipes to ensure a fully maintained system.
If birds are nesting under your panels, we can install protective mesh guards to prevent further mess and damage.
Are your solar panels looking dusty or underperforming? A professional clean can help restore full efficiency and protect your system from long-term damage.
We follow a professional, step-by-step method to ensure your solar panels are cleaned properly without damaging your system. Each step is designed to boost performance while protecting your roof and equipment.
We begin with a site visit to assess the number of panels, their angle, location, and condition. This allows us to identify any challenges or access needs. Based on this, we provide a clear, upfront quote tailored to your home.
Safety comes first. We use harnesses, ladders, and roof protection equipment to ensure safe access. Our team follows all safety protocols to avoid any damage to your roof or the solar system during the cleaning process.
We clean the panels using purified water and soft-bristle brushes that lift dirt, bird droppings, and grime without scratching the glass. No pressure washers or chemicals are used, keeping your warranty safe and panels in top shape.
After cleaning, we give the panels a final rinse to remove any remaining residue. We also visually inspect for damage or buildup. Cleaner panels allow more sunlight through, which means better energy output and savings.
We take great pride in offering our services in the following areas:
