Keep your solar panels performing at their best
Solar panels are a long-term investment, but like any outdoor surface they collect dust, pollen, bird droppings and pollution over time. Even a thin film of grime can block sunlight and cut performance. Regular professional cleaning by GleamGuard Exterior Cleaning Ltd keeps your system efficient and protects your investment. Many customers report up to a 30% uplift in output after a clean.
Our service area
Based in Derby, we provide specialist solar panel cleaning throughout Derby and nearby towns and villages. Keeping things local means a reliable, friendly service and prompt appointments.
How clean panels boost performance
Improve efficiency
Clean panels absorb more sunlight. Dirty modules can lose 10–25% of their output, especially through dry summer months. A thorough clean immediately restores lost efficiency and increases your energy yield.
Maximise your return on investment
If your array feeds the grid or powers your business, every percentage of lost generation costs money. Keeping panels clean ensures you get full value from your installation day in, day out.
Protect the lifespan of your panels
Dirt, bird droppings and lichen don’t just block light — they can attack frames and coatings if left in place. Our purified-water system uses soft brushes and approved detergents to safely remove build-up without scratching surfaces or affecting warranties.
Environmentally friendly cleaning
We rinse with filtered, de-ionised water for a smear-free finish and no chemical residues.
Safe, professional service
Our team is fully trained, insured and experienced on domestic roofs and solar farms. With the right equipment and risk assessments, we clean safely from the ground wherever possible, reducing the need for ladders or heavy access gear.
