At Hydraulic Megastore, we understand that investing in solar energy is about more than just reducing energy costs, it’s about long-term efficiency, sustainability and peace of mind. Our solar panel cleaner range has been carefully developed to help homeowners, businesses and installers protect their panels, extend their lifespan and ensure they generate as much power as possible, year after year.
Over time, solar panels are exposed to the elements. Dust, dirt, pollen, bird droppings, moss, and pollution all build up on the glass surface, blocking sunlight and reducing energy output. Even a thin layer of grime can cut efficiency by up to 20%, meaning your system isn’t performing as it should.
Regular cleaning with a specialist solar panel cleaner keeps surfaces clear, improves performance and helps you get the maximum return on your investment in renewable energy.
Unlike general household detergents, our solar panel cleaner is formulated to be non-abrasive, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly. It effectively removes dirt without damaging delicate coatings or seals on your solar modules.
These products are specifically engineered for solar PV panels, solar thermal panels, and glass-fronted renewable energy equipment. They clean thoroughly without leaving streaks, residues, or films that could reduce light transmission.
Available in ready-to-use sprays or concentrated formulas, our cleaners provide excellent coverage and long-lasting performance. For installers and facilities managers, concentrated options allow for dilution, making them extremely cost-efficient for large-scale cleaning.
Cleaning solar panels doesn’t have to be difficult. With the right product and safe access, it can be quite a straightforward maintenance task:
Choose the right time: Clean panels on cooler days, ideally early morning or evening, to avoid streaks and thermal stress.
Turn off the solar system if advised: Always follow the manufacturer’s safety guidance.
Dilute if necessary: Concentrated cleaners should be mixed according to instructions, often around 100:1 with water.
Apply evenly: Spray or foam the cleaner across the surface and allow it to soak briefly.
Agitate gently: Use a soft brush or cleaning pad designed for solar panels to lift stubborn dirt.
Rinse thoroughly: Use clean, cool water to wash away residue. Avoid pressure washers, as these can damage seals.
For homeowners with rooftop systems that are difficult to reach, we recommend contacting a professional cleaning service. However, our products are perfect for DIY maintenance on ground-mounted or easily accessible installations.
How often should solar panels be cleaned?
Most panels benefit from a clean every 12–18 months. In areas with heavy dust, bird activity, or coastal salt, more frequent cleaning may be required.
Can I use washing up liquid or window cleaner?
It’s not recommended. General detergents may leave residues or harm protective coatings. A dedicated solar panel cleaner ensures safe and effective results.
Is it safe for the environment?
Yes, our cleaners are biodegradable and eco-friendly, designed for safe outdoor use.
Will cleaning my panels really improve performance?
Yes. Even small amounts of dirt can reduce efficiency. Clean panels allow maximum sunlight absorption and help maintain the output you expect from your system.
Protect your investment in solar energy with our specialist solar panel cleaning products. Whether you’re maintaining a small home system or a large commercial installation, Hydraulic Megastore has the solution to keep your panels clean, efficient, and working at their best.
