Clean Panels Generate More
We started Solar Maintenance Solutions as a cleaning and maintenance company — before we installed a single panel. That means we understand soiling better than most installers ever will. Manchester's combination of urban fallout, high humidity, and significant bird populations (pigeons, seagulls, starlings) creates some of the UK's most challenging panel soiling conditions. Our deionised water system removes everything a Manchester sky deposits on your panels: industrial film, bird droppings, moss spores, tree sap, and pollen. Most residential systems see a 10-25% generation improvement after their first professional clean. That's real money back in your pocket.

Benefits of Professional Cleaning
Restore Lost Output
Dirty panels lose 5-25% of their output to soiling. Professional cleaning with deionised water restores full performance and pays for itself within one year.
Deionised Water System
We use only deionised water fed through telescopic poles with soft rotating brushes — no chemicals, no detergents, no pressure washers that damage anti-reflective coatings.
Before & After Comparison
We compare generation data before and after cleaning so you can see exactly how much output has been restored to your system.
Inspection Included
During every clean, our engineers inspect panel condition from close range — reporting cracks, discolouration, hotspots, bird damage, and cable issues found.
Safe Working at Height
All our cleaning operatives hold IPAF licences and work under full public liability insurance. We don't cut corners on safety — at any height.
Annual Contracts
Our annual cleaning contract (1-2 visits per year) gives you priority scheduling, discounted rates, and peace of mind that your panels are always performing at their best.
How It Works
Ground Assessment
We assess your system from ground level — checking for obvious soiling, bird droppings, moss, and lichen — before setting up our telescopic pole system.
Deionised Water Clean
Using deionised water fed through telescopic poles with soft rotating brushes, we clean every panel surface and frame without damaging the anti-reflective coating.
Close Inspection
During cleaning we inspect each panel up close — reporting any cracks, discolouration, hotspots, loose connectors, or damage found. You receive a written report.
Performance Check
We compare your monitoring data before and after the clean to confirm output has been restored. If generation hasn't improved, we investigate why.
Frequently Asked Questions
Partially — rain washes away loose dust but doesn't remove bird droppings, moss, tree sap, or the industrial film that builds up in urban and semi-urban areas. At Manchester's typical 30° roof pitch, water runs off too slowly to clean effectively. Professional cleaning with deionised water is necessary 1-2 times per year.
