Location: Mt Cargill, Dunedin
System: 20-panel off-grid solar array
Issues: Moss buildup, bird droppings, general dust and debris

Nestled on the rugged slopes of Mt Cargill in Dunedin, this off-grid home relies entirely on solar power to meet its energy needs. Recently, the Eco Solar Clean team was called in to professionally clean a 20-panel solar array that had started to show signs of environmental buildup.

Over time, moss had started growing along the lower edges of the panels, while bird droppings and wind-blown dust were also settling across the surface. These factors are common in rural and semi-remote areas like Mt Cargill, where exposure to the elements is constant and natural maintenance from rainfall isn’t always sufficient.

Regular cleaning of solar panels is critical in off-grid setups. Even light layers of dirt or moss can significantly reduce power output, which in remote homes can mean the difference between lights on or off.
