CLEAN SOLAR
Clean Solar is a locally owned and operated business providing professional solar panel and gutter cleaning across Hillarys and surrounding suburbs.
We focus on safe, effective cleaning methods that protect both your roof and your solar system, helping maintain panel efficiency and extend the life of your investment. Every job is approached with care, attention to detail, and respect for your home.
As part of our solar panel cleaning service, thermal imaging may be used prior to cleaning as a visual, non-invasive tool to observe surface temperature variations on solar panels. This provides an additional layer of awareness prior to the cleaning process, with images shared for general information only. Any further assessment referred to a licensed electrical or solar professional where required.
Our goal is simple: reliable service, clear communication, and results you can see. Fully insured ($20 million public liability), Working at Heights trained and ISCA SPCF qualified.
Our Services
We specialise in professional solar panel cleaning to help maintain performance and protect your system over time. Thermal imaging is used prior to cleaning to observe surface temperature variations on solar panels. This can help highlight visible irregularities that may warrant further attention.
Other services available include gutter cleaning and bird proofing.
SOLAR PANEL CLEANING
Safe, professional cleaning designed to maximise panel efficiency while protecting your roof and solar system. We use our DI (deionised) water system to safely remove dirt, dust, debris and bird droppings to ensure peak energy production. This leaves the solar panels looking fresh and clean and is the most effective way to prolong the life of your solar investment.
THERMAL IMAGING
Included with your solar panel clean, is thermal imaging photos that provide a visual temperature overview of your solar panels. This can help identify heat irregularities that may affect performance or long-term panel health. This is conducted prior to cleaning at no cost to the customer.
GUTTER CLEANING
Blocked gutters are one of the most common causes of water damage around the home and often go unnoticed until heavy rain hits. Our gutter cleaning service ensures yours gutters are clean and flowing before Perth's winter storms arrive.
BIRD PROOFING
Bird proofing around solar panels helps prevent nesting under panels, reducing mess and potential damage to solar panel wiring and components.

FAQ
Yes. Dirt and soiling can reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the solar cells. Bird droppings, grime, salt residue, lichen and other build-up lead to reduced efficiency and localised shading over time if not cleaned.
Yes. Heavy or localised soiling such as bird droppings can partially shade solar cells, causing uneven operation and increased heat in affected areas. Over time, this heat stress can contribute to reduced panel lifespan and system performance.
A thermal imaging camera helps identify abnormal heat patterns on panels using IR (infrared radiation). These hotspots (that are invisible to the naked eye) can indicate areas of localised stress. Identifying them prior to cleaning helps ensure panels are handled carefully, as excessive pressure or aggressive cleaning on stressed areas may contribute to permanent damage.
While annual cleaning is suitable for many systems, panels exposed to heavier soiling may benefit from 6-monthly cleaning. Factors such as coastal salt, bird activity, nearby trees and panel layout all influence how quickly buildup occurs. Regular inspection helps determine the most appropriate interval.
No, you don't need to be home, provided we have access to an outdoor tap and safe access around the property. If your roof has older or fragile tiles, having spare tiles available is helpful in case of breakage during normal roof access. We always take care when accessing customers' roofs.
Yes. We use purified de-ionised (DI) water and water-fed brushes designed to be gentle on solar panels while still cleaning effectively. This method avoids the use of detergents or harsh chemicals and aligns with manufacturer guidance for maintaining panel surfaces.
Yes. We provide a photo-based summary after the job, showing before-and-after images and noting any visible issues observed while safely accessing the roof and gutters. This gives you added peace of mind and awareness of areas that are otherwise out of sight.
