Solar Panel Cleaning

Solar panels work best when they’re clean. Dust, salt spray, bird droppings, and organic build-up can reduce efficiency over time — especially in coastal areas.

At Coastal Shine, we provide professional solar panel cleaning across the Sunshine Coast, using safe, panel-friendly methods that help maintain performance without risking damage.

What’s Included In Our Solar Panel Cleaning Service

Our solar panel cleaning service is designed to clean effectively while protecting delicate surfaces and components.

Depending on your system, this can include:

  • Removal of dust, dirt, salt residue, and bird droppings
  • Cleaning of residential solar panels
  • Use of purified or low-mineral water where appropriate
  • Gentle cleaning methods suited to solar panels
  • Visual check for obvious issues during cleaning

We never use harsh chemicals or aggressive pressure on solar panels.

Safe, Panel-friendly Cleaning Methods

Solar panels are durable — but improper cleaning can scratch surfaces or affect seals and connections.

Our approach:

  • Uses soft washing techniques designed for panels
  • Avoids abrasive tools and high pressure
  • Helps prevent micro-scratching
  • Protects the integrity of your solar system

The goal is a clean panel without compromising performance or longevity.

Ideal for Sunshine Coast Conditions

Coastal air, dry spells, and seasonal storms all contribute to build-up on solar panels across the Sunshine Coast.

Regular cleaning helps to:

  • Maintain energy efficiency
  • Improve system performance
  • Reduce long-term residue build-up
  • Protect your investment over time

Panels that look “mostly clean” can still benefit from proper washing.

We regularly clean solar panels for:

  • Houses and townhomes
  • Single-storey and double-storey homes
  • Grid-connected residential systems
  • Investment properties

If you’re unsure whether your panels need cleaning, we’re happy to advise.
