We do not make performance claims. Outcomes depend on your system and its surroundings.
Cleaning your panels
Rain keeps many panels reasonably clean, but dust, bird droppings and salt from the coast can build up. If you decide to clean them, use a safe method, and never climb onto a roof yourself. Many owners use a professional.
Routine checks
Simple checks can help you spot problems early.
- Look at your inverter display or app for any fault messages.
- Check for visible damage, loose cabling or new shading from growing trees.
- Keep gutters and roof edges clear.
- Keep the paperwork and warranty details from your installer.
Coastal conditions
Salt in the air can affect metal fixings over time, which is why corrosion-resistant materials matter at installation. Ask your installer what maintenance they recommend and whether servicing is available.
How much does it cost?
Cleaning and servicing costs vary with roof access and the provider. Ask for a clear price up front, and check whether any work could affect your warranty.
Prices vary by property and installer. Your installer will confirm a written quote after a survey.

Only from the ground with a safe method. Do not climb onto a roof. Many owners use a professional.

Some methods may. Check the warranty terms before cleaning or hiring someone.
