Your solar panels need regular cleaning and maintenance services to guarantee the best performance. Solar panel cleaning is complicated for novices, and for commercial settings, solar panel cleaning is an almost impossible DIY option. That’s where Altus Safety’s specialist solar panel cleaning services come in.
With the help of our experts, you can benefit from clean solar panels at your site, helping maximise performance, drive down your business energy bills and greatly reduce the amount of carbon emissions your business is responsible for.
Commercial solar arrays need a regular professional service from those with the expertise and experience to get it right. Contact our friendly team today for a competitive price.
You might not have expected Altus Safety to offer solar panel cleaning as part of our services – but if you think about it, it’s a natural service for us to look into. Traditionally we’re height safety specialists, meaning we help make your sites and commercial settings safer places for workers and contractors working at height on location. But because we’re experts in height safety, we’re also experts in carrying out work at height safely ourselves too. The natural next step? Cleaning the solar panels that are already on top of the commercial spaces we’re helping out!
Our solar cleaning team have all undergone the necessary work at height training – something we can offer your team too – to ensure they know how to service your solar panels effectively, safely, and whilst respecting the solar technology that powers your business. Solar tech can be delicate and sensitive to harsh cleaning chemicals, which is why we only ever use a soft brush, de ionised water, and a little elbow grease to remove dirt, grime and debris from your panels.
A full service will be priced differently depending on the amount of solar panels at your site and how easy it is to access them. For floating solar arrays, solar farms, and other ground level solar panels, keeping them clean is much easier than those on the rooftop that may prove more difficult to access. As a solar panel cleaning and maintenance company, we can offer you a competitive quote with no-obligation today. Simply get in touch.
Most businesses and commercial spaces stick their solar panels on the roof and forget about them. So long as they’re efficiency doesn’t dip and their businesses are being powered throughout the day, then business owners don’t tend to worry about them. There’s no need to, right?
Wrong! At Altus Safety we see all too often the results of neglected solar panels. A dirty solar panel is an inefficient one, and more often than not (depending on the solar system you have installed at your site), your entire solar array is only as good as your weakest panel. Keeping all of them clean is the only way to ensure your solar panels’ performance remains high. The best way to clean solar panels is with professional help.
DIY solar panel cleaning is time-consuming, laborious, and can actually cause damage to the panels themselves if not handled with the proper care and cleaning equipment to get the solar panels up to snuff. That’s why professional solar panel cleaning is recommended, and at Altus Safety we’ve got the perfect team to help make sure your panels are performing like new.
We’re experts in the world of height safety so that means you can trust us to carry out your solar panel cleaning services with the care it needs. With a safety-first approach, up-to-date training, and dedicated account management support to ensure you never miss a solar clean again, we’re perfectly placed to keep your business running on green energy.

It depends really on where you are in the UK, the climate there, and how dusty and dirty your surrounding area is. For example, if you have a solar farm out in the countryside and it’s not overlooked by trees, then the likelihood is your solar panels aren’t going to naturally become very dirty over the year.
For solar panels on an office block in the middle of a large city, though, your solar panels will likely just pick up grime and dirt from the surrounding often. The air is dirtier in the city, that’s just a fact.
So, depending on where you are and the exact circumstances surrounding your solar panels, we usually recommend a professional clean once every 6 months, or once every 12 months, but we’ll discuss this with you when you reach out and we can come up with a plan that works for you.
Many things can cause solar panels to come dirty. If trees overhang them, then debris is common that can affect the ability of the solar panels to perform efficiently. Bird droppings are also common issues, which can be fixed with bird proofing your solar panels to a certain degree. Bird proofing stops birds such as pigeons from nesting in and around your panels, which can cause damage and increase the chances of bird droppings. Regular dirt and dust from the environment can also cause issues to the glass solar panels which can be covered in a thin film of grime which is enough to harm the panel’s performance.
Yes, to a degree, which is why solar panels don’t need a professional clean more than twice a year at most. Solar panels are self-cleaning thanks to the angle they need to sit at to catch the sunlight that they turn to electricity, and then natural rainfall. The rain hits the panel and naturally washes away some of the dirt and grime that builds up. Unfortunately, it won’t get it all, and in dry months dirt can build up to such a degree that it affects panel performance.
In theory yes, if you have the right soft equipment and know how, then yes you can. You need to make sure you’re gentle, and that you maintain the solar panels properly with cleaning at least every 12 months or every 6 if you’re in a dirtier area.
However, if you do embark on this yourself, you’ll need to be careful when working at height, and you’ll need to remember that the task isn’t easy. Cleaning so many solar panels at a commercial premises takes time and patience. If you’re short on either, contacting a professional team like ours is always a better choice.
For one, our team at Altus Safety have undergone the necessary training to ensure they can clean solar panels effectively, but also safely. Working at height isn’t for the faint hearted, but our team are all experts with plenty of experience working at height, cleaning solar panels, and working in even the most unique circumstances.
Our team are expert solar panel cleaners for a reason – so why not leave it to the pros?
