Yesterday, our Eco Solar Clean team completed a solar panel cleaning job in Pleasant Point, near Timaru and the results were amazing.



The panels hadn’t been cleaned in over 12 years, and the grey, drizzly South Canterbury weather couldn’t hide how badly they needed attention. Thick patches of lichen covered the solar panels, cutting down their energy production and leaving them looking dull and neglected.

Even though the day was overcast, we knew the difference would be clear as soon as the sun came out. Clean solar panels don’t just look better, they also improve solar power efficiency and help you get the most out of your investment. The team have all the safety equipment, and the training, to tackle the 2 storey building.

After a thorough clean, the system was restored to full shine and ready to perform at its best again. Many homeowners are surprised to see how much solar panel performance improves after a proper clean, especially if it’s been years since installation.
