Commercial & Residential Solar Panel Cleaning
Solar panel cleaning and clearing is a necessity. You might think the rain takes care of them but you are mistaken! Solar panels require maintenance, the same way roofs do – check out our roof cleaning information.
So why do solar panels need cleaning?
Solar panel cleaning will maintain the efficiency and longevity of your solar panels. Over time, dust, dirt, pollen, bird droppings, and other debris can accumulate on the surface of the panels, forming a layer that actually blocks sunlight!
Of course, this reduces the amount of solar energy that can be absorbed and converted into electricity, leading to a significant drop in energy output.
Without regular solar panel cleaning, some cases of energy reduction can be as much as 20% or more! It makes more sense to get your solar panels cleaned.
Additionally, solar panels are often installed in areas exposed to the elements, making them susceptible to various types of grime.
For instance, if your panels are near trees, they may be more prone to bird droppings and sap, which are particularly stubborn and difficult to remove without professional solar panel cleaning.

Solar Panel Cleaning Experts in York
Speak to an expert

If you’ve spent any time around York, you’ll know how the city’s mix of rain, pollen, and the occasional passing seagull can quickly leave your solar panels looking less than shiny. And while the Minster’s rooftops might look stunning under a bit of Yorkshire drizzle, your panels definitely won’t thank you for that layer of grime. That’s where our team at Cleancore UK comes in.
We’re a family-run exterior cleaning company based right here in North Yorkshire, and we’ve helped countless homeowners and businesses around York keep their solar panels working efficiently and looking spotless. Whether you’re tucked away near Heworth, running a business in Clifton Moor, or living just outside the ring road, we’ll get your solar panels cleaned the safe, professional way — no ladders balanced at odd angles, no damage, and no shortcuts.
Commercial & Residential Solar Panel Cleaning
Our solar panel cleaning services in York cover both homes and commercial premises. From small domestic roof arrays to large solar farms or business installations, our trained technicians use specialist purified water systems that leave a streak-free finish and protect the panel’s surface.
Regular cleaning isn’t just about appearance — it’s about performance. A dirty panel can lose up to 25% of its efficiency, which means less power generated and a longer wait before your investment pays for itself. We help you get that lost energy back with a gentle yet thorough clean that’s safe for the panels, the wiring, and your roof.
Why Do Solar Panels Need Cleaning
It’s easy to assume the rain in York will do the job for you, but unfortunately, that’s not the case. Rainwater leaves behind mineral deposits, bird mess, dust from nearby roads, and even lichen in rural areas. Over time, this layer of grime builds up and acts like a light filter — blocking sunlight from reaching the cells underneath.
If you’ve noticed your energy readings dipping, chances are it’s time for a clean. Our York solar panel cleaners are fully trained to identify build-ups and remove them safely using water-fed poles and soft-wash techniques that keep your warranty intact.

Frequently asked questions
Most homes in York benefit from a professional clean every 6–12 months. If your property is near trees, farmland, or busy roads, you might need it a little more often. Contact us and we’ll give honest advice based on your setup.
We wouldn’t recommend it. Apart from being risky to access, using tap water or household cleaners can leave residue that actually attracts more dirt. Our purified water system gives you a spotless, safe clean.
Yes — and it’s measurable. Customers often see a noticeable increase in power output after a clean. Think of it like wiping the dust off a window; the sunlight simply gets through better.
Spring and late summer are ideal, just before and after the heaviest pollen and debris seasons. That said, we offer year-round cleaning — the Yorkshire weather doesn’t slow us down much!
Prices depend on the size, height, and access requirements of your panels. We keep our rates competitive and transparent — just get in touch for a quick quote with no pressure.
