Real jobs, photographed on the day
Dust, lichen, pollen and bird mess build up on the glass and quietly cut what your system makes. We’ve seen output improve by up to 30% on some systems we’ve cleaned.
What we do
We only look after solar. Homes, businesses and farms, from a few panels on a family home to commercial rooftops with thousands of panels.
Pure water and soft brushes take off dust, lichen, pollen and bird mess, with a 7-point check of the system. Most homes cost $275 to $575 including GST.

Five steps, the same on every job, whether it’s twelve panels on a house or a full commercial roof.
Fill in the two-step form or call 022 035 2494, answered 7 days. Send a few roof photos and a person on our team gives you a fixed price. No obligation.
Pick a day that suits you. We email a booking confirmation, then a reminder the day before so you know we’re coming.
Before we start, we run a 7-point inspection of the panels, mounts, cabling and inverter, and look for birds nesting underneath. If something needs your installer or electrician, we’ll tell you.
Our own trained team cleans with pure, deionised water and soft brushes. No detergent, no water blaster, and lichen gets its own treatment.
Before and after photos and a written report from the inspection, for your records, your installer or a warranty claim.
Most homes need a clean once a year. Every six months if you’re near the coast, under trees or have birds about.
The SolarCleano F1 at work. It’s under a minute, give it a watch.
New Zealand’s first solar cleaning robot
On big flat roofs and solar farms we bring the SolarCleano F1. It drives down each row with a spinning brush and pure water while one of us steers it, so the last panel gets the same clean as the first.

Where we clean
Our own teams cover 14 areas from the Bay of Islands to Wellington. Pick yours to see local jobs, reviews and what we find on roofs near you.
Most homes cost $275 to $575 including GST. That includes a 7-point check of the system and before and after photos. Commercial sites and solar farms get their own quote.
Once a year is right for most New Zealand homes. Clean every six months if you are near the coast, under trees, on a lifestyle block or have birds about, and never leave it more than two years. Read our full guide.
Pure, deionised water and soft-bristle brushes made for solar glass. Pure water dries without spots, so nothing is left behind on the panels. No chemicals and no water blasters.
No. The stainless mesh clips on around the edge of your panels and nothing is drilled, so your panel warranty stays intact. Our bird proofing has a 3-year product and workmanship warranty, and most jobs cost $1,200 to $2,200 including GST.
