Q - What do you use to clean my Solar Panels?

A - A standard clean consists of cleaning your Panels with Demineralised Water through a filter system, and using a window brush to avoid scratching the Panels. Then a final wipe over with a Norwex Tile Mop, this helps to get that last little bit of dirt off. Then a wipe over with a microfiber cloth to get the dirt that runs to the bottom of the Panels during the process.
    - Alpha Eco Solar Clean and Application is the same three stages as a standard clean with an extra stage to apply the Alpha Eco Solar (Nano Coating) to not only keep your Panels clean for the 3 years time frame, But also an added protection to help the life of the Panels.

Q - How often should I get my Panels Cleaned?

A - In your Owners Manual provided by your Installer it should state that you need to maintain and clean your panels at least every 12 months, this is also a condition of warranty!

Q - Maintenance of Panels?

A - The Panels are secured to your roof with mechanical fixings, these come lose from the expansion and contraction by the heat! these need to be checked and tightened to avoid lose Panels.
   -  The Cables under your Panels are generally fixed with cable ties, these also break over time allowing your cables to lay on your roof, this causes deterioration of the cable by the sun and could also be a hazard on a metal roof.
   - Debris under your Panels is also a hazard and must be cleaned out.
   - Any Tree Branches that grow over, shading the panels need to be trimmed back.
All of these are done through my Cleaning Programs. - And I inspect your Roof and let you know if there are any problems!

Q - Do you need any special tickets/licenses to clean my Solar Panels?

A - I have a "Working at Heights" Ticket, and am also a License Roofing Plumber.
      If needed Extra Protecting will be used, such as an Approved Roofing Harness and Safety Lines.
