Solar panel cleaning service in Canberra

Solar panels are designed to withstand Australian conditions, but Canberra’s environment can expose them to dust, storms, smoke and debris that can impact performance over time.

Our solar maintenance process begins with a detailed inspection of your system. We assess the condition of your panels, identify any build-up or damage, and safely remove dirt and debris that may be affecting energy generation.

Using professional equipment and safe cleaning methods, our technicians restore your panels so they can continue capturing sunlight efficiently.

Regular maintenance is particularly important after events such as bushfires, dust storms or periods of extreme weather. These conditions can leave residue on your panels and affect the overall performance of your solar system.

With local experience and industry expertise, Climate Plus can help keep your solar investment operating reliably year after year.

Solar panel servicing and maintenance

Our solar panel cleaning is typically performed as a part of our general solar panel maintenance. Solar panel servicing and maintenance involves a performance and safety check. During this check, we will examine:

  • Power safety: The Climate Plus team will check the condition of your switchboard, circuit breakers and labelling to ensure electrical safety and prevent fire hazards.
  • Solar inverters and battery: We’ll assess the general condition of your solar inverters to see if they need any repairs or maintenance. This helps to keep your solar power system functional for its entire lifespan. We can examine your solar battery as well, if you have one.
  • Wear and tear: We’ll assess your system’s cabling, as well as the conduit and isolators for signs of aging, weather damage and other wear and tear. This ensures your installation continues to meet safety standards.
  • Solar panel condition: Finally, our team will examine your solar panels to assess dirt and debris and inspect for any cracks or damages.

Once the system has been thoroughly inspected, we can perform any maintenance or cleaning jobs needed to keep your solar system functioning at its best. We offer cleaning and maintenance services whether or not we installed your solar system.

Frequently asked questions

It’s advisable to have your panels cleaned at least once a year. Canberra can have high volumes of dust, pollen and other debris, making cleaning especially important.
There are many reasons you should rely on a professional service to clean your solar system, including:
  • Thorough cleaning: Professionals have the tools and equipment to thoroughly clean and maintain your entire solar system. By cleaning your system yourself, you’re likely to do a less comprehensive job than a professional.
  • Safety: Professionals have the tools and the training to ensure the job is done to the highest safety standards. Attempting to clean your panels yourself is an unnecessary risk.
  • Damage prevention: A professional service knows the safest and most effective method to clean your panels, ensuring the surface is cleared without doing any damage to it. This is especially important for substances like thick or stubborn grime. By cleaning panels yourself, you may cause damage that voids your warranty.
Your solar cleaning services should be performed by a licensed technician and not an unlicensed “solar panel cleaner”. While these services may be cheaper, the work they do may cause damage to your panels that void your warranty. Plus, having your system cleaned as part of regular maintenance means you can have your system examined for other issues.
Rain will only clear away a light layer of dust and debris. It is not enough to keep solar panels in the best possible condition. Many materials will stick to solar panels even in heavy rain, such as pollen, bird droppings and thicker grime. Only consistent solar panel cleaning will keep your panels spotless and able to effectively gather sunlight. Depending on your location, you may also not have enough consistent rainfall to keep your panels functional.
