The service

Clean panels.
Clear process.

Dust, pollen, salt spray and bird droppings can build up on solar glass. We use a specialist pure-water system and assess roof access and conditions before work begins.

The service covers residential systems up to two storeys. Complex access, damage or heavy lichen may require an individual quote. We flag visible concerns; the clean is not an electrical inspection or a guarantee of increased output.

Common questions

Is local travel included?

Yes. The displayed price includes the clean, travel and setup in Kerikeri and Waipapa for standard ground-level or single-storey access. We quote additional travel outside these areas before you commit.

What if I have more than 40 panels or difficult access?

Send us the panel count and details of the height or roof pitch. We’ll assess the work and provide an individual quote before confirming a booking.

Does choosing a time confirm my booking?

No. Your preferred date and time are a request. We’ll check availability and confirm the appointment with you.

Do I need cleaning twice a year?

Spring and Autumn are useful check-in points, especially where pollen or bird activity is an issue. We can suggest a suitable schedule after seeing your system.

Your cleaning rhythm

Why Spring and Autumn?

They are practical check-in points for Northland homes, rather than fixed rules for every roof. We suggest a Spring clean around the local pollen cycle and an Autumn clean after summer exposure, then adjust to what is actually on your panels.

Spring

Clear accumulated winter grime and pollen after the main local pollen fall, so the panels are ready for brighter months. Rain does not always remove sticky pollen.

Autumn

Check for summer dust, bird droppings, salt and organic buildup before the lower-light months. Properties sheltered from grime may need less frequent cleaning.

Evidence: NREL on pollen and rain · NREL/DOE PV maintenance guidance. Timing is based on observed soiling, weather and system performance.
