Dirt, dust, algae, bird droppings and other debris can build up on solar panels over time. Cleaning helps keep the surface clear and can support efficient performance while improving the appearance of the installation.

The frequency depends on the location, roof angle, surrounding trees, birds and local conditions. Panels with visible dirt, algae or bird droppings may benefit from cleaning sooner than panels in more exposed locations.

Solar panels can provide pigeons and other birds with a sheltered space for nesting and roosting. This can lead to nesting material, droppings, noise and debris building up around or beneath the panels.

A solar panel bird guard is a protective barrier fitted around the exposed edges of the panel array to help prevent pigeons and other birds from gaining access underneath while allowing the panels to remain ventilated.

Yes. Where suitable, the panels and surrounding area can be cleaned before the bird guard is installed. This helps remove existing dirt, debris and nesting material before access beneath the panels is restricted.

Yes. We provide solar panel cleaning and bird guard installation across Surrey, South West London and surrounding areas for residential properties, subject to safe access and the condition of the roof and solar panel system.
