Solar Panel and Skylight Cleaning in Dandenong (Plus Gutters)

A quick summary before the photos:

The panels had streaks of dried mud and grime running down the glass. On a roof surrounded by trees, rain alone often doesn't shift this kind of build-up. Before doing the whole array, we cleaned a test patch on one panel to see the difference.

We cleaned the panels with soft brushes and water, so the glass came clean without harsh scrubbing.

The skylights were dirty with the same grime as the panels, and less daylight gets through dirty glass.

Because we were already on the roof for the panels, we cleaned the skylights in the same visit.

With that much tree cover, the gutters were packed with leaves. Blocked gutters overflow in heavy rain, so we cleared them in the same visit.

With this much shade and tree cover, the metal roof itself has moss and lichen too. That wasn't part of this visit, which was panels, skylights and gutters, so it's one for another day.

When it's time, Colorbond and metal roofs are only ever soft-washed, never pressure washed, because high pressure strips the paint coating. See our roof cleaning service.

Trees drop leaves, sap, pollen and debris, and shaded roofs stay damp longer. Panels, skylights and gutters get dirty faster than on an open street.

Booking them together in one visit is usually more efficient than three separate jobs.
