Gisborne and the wider Tairāwhiti region
Coastal salt haze off the Pacific and dust from the orchards and vineyards around Gisborne build up fast on panels, especially through the dry summer months. We clean with pure water, check the whole system while we’re up there, and send you a report with before and after photos.
Two quick steps. No obligation.
Last step. Takes about 20 seconds.

PrequalifiedHealth and safetyWhat you get
The same three steps on every Gisborne job, from a small array on a family home to a full commercial roof.
Before anything gets wet we look over the panels, wiring, mounts and inverter, and flag anything that’s going to cost you later.
Deionised water through soft brushes on water-fed poles. No chemicals and no water-blasting, so nothing that could harm the glass or the seals.
A written report on how your system is doing, with before and after photos so you can see exactly what came off.
Most homes take about an hour. Lichen treatment or bird proofing can be done on the same visit.

“Thank you for such an excellent, professional job. Our technician was very knowledgeable about our solar system and gave a full verbal report as well as the photographic report.”
Ben shows how we clean a residential solar system, from setting up our pure water system to going through our maintenance check and outlining a couple of common issues we see impacting your solar system’s output. After this clean, we saw a 21% increase in system output.
Who turns up
Eco Shine Solar is owned and run by three brothers, Edwin, Sam and Ben, born and raised in the Bay of Plenty.
Before solar we represented New Zealand in beach volleyball, picking up a bronze at the Commonwealth Games. We’ve brought the same work ethic from the sand to the roofs, cleaning solar since 2017.
Every job is done by our own team, with pure-water gear and a written report at the end.

Areas we cover
We work Gisborne city and the surrounding Tairāwhiti towns on the same runs, so being out of town doesn’t mean waiting longer.
Not on the list? Ask us. Chances are we’re nearby that week.
Most Gisborne systems do well with a clean every 12 to 18 months. Homes near the beach or surrounded by orchards and vineyards often need a 12-month cycle.
Yes. We work Gisborne and the surrounding Tairāwhiti towns on the same runs, including Makaraka, Matawhero, Patutahi and Ormond. Ask for a quote and we’ll fit you into the next run through your area.
Yes. Gulls and other coastal birds are active along the shore and around town, and their droppings create hot spots that can damage cells if left to bake on in the sun. Nesting material packed under the array also blocks the airflow the panels need. We check for this on every clean and can mesh the gaps as a bird proofing add-on if birds have moved in.
Rain alone doesn’t clean solar panels properly, it just moves dust and salt haze around rather than lifting it off. Gisborne’s dry summers and the orchard and vineyard dust in the air mean panels build up a film well before it’s visible from the ground. A pure-water clean is what actually shifts it.
Tell us roughly how many panels and storeys. We’ll come back with a price, usually the same day. Phones answered 7 days.

We cover Gisborne city and the wider Tairāwhiti region, including Whataupoko, Kaiti, Te Hapara, Wainui, Okitu, Makaraka, Matawhero, Patutahi and Ormond. We also service Hawke’s Bay and Whakatāne. Gisborne roofs give us two recurring problems: salt haze and dust off the Pacific through the dry months, and lichen on the shaded south-facing arrays that comes with the region’s damp winters. Both need a pure-water clean rather than a rinse.
