We believe in honest rates with no surprise costs. Our pricing structure is straightforward: a flat call-out fee plus a low rate per panel.
Covers travel, pure water filtration prep, system setup, and safety equipment.
Includes thorough scrubbing, rinsing with deionized water, and post-clean inspection.
Gauteng's climate, industrial density, and electrical grid conditions mean that dirty panels are more than just an eyesore—they directly impact your energy security and system health.
Our highveld winters are notoriously dry, with Gauteng often going 5 to 6 months without a single drop of rain. Without rain to naturally rinse panels, a thick blanket of red dust and pollen builds up on the glass, blocking solar radiation and cutting power output by up to 20-30%.
As South Africa's economic powerhouse, Gauteng has high levels of atmospheric pollution. Microscopic soot from diesel trucks and nearby coal-fired power stations forms a sticky, chemical-laden film on your panels. Rain cannot dissolve this greasy layer—it requires specialized pure-water scrubbers.
Suburban Gauteng has highly active bird life (starlings, pigeons, etc.) nesting near rooftops. Bird droppings create solid, opaque spots on panels. When exposed to intense South African sunlight, the shaded cells create massive electrical resistance, generating local "hotspots" that can burn out panels and void warranties.
Ordinary tap water contains calcium, magnesium, and other minerals that leave behind chalky residues when they dry. We use a professional, chemical-free process designed specifically to protect anti-reflective solar coatings.
We filter local municipal water through a multi-stage deionization system to remove all impurities. This ultra-pure water acts like a chemical-free solvent, absorbing dust and dirt particles off the glass and drying to a perfectly spot-free, streak-free finish.
Using high-reach carbon-fiber water-fed telescopic poles, we scrub the panel surface with custom-engineered, soft-bristle solar brushes. This allows us to safely scrub away soot, lichen, and hardened bird grime without walking on or cracking the delicate solar glass panels.
After rinsing with pure water, panels are left to dry naturally. Our technicians perform a thorough visual inspection from roof level or high-resolution cameras to verify that every square inch of glass is crystal clear, restoring your system to its maximum possible output.
Investing in professional cleaning yields immediate returns in efficiency, system longevity, and peace of mind.
With South Africa's grid instability and loadshedding, backup batteries and inverters are critical. Clean panels recharge battery banks up to 30% faster during daylight hours, ensuring your system is fully powered before the next scheduled outage hits.
Solar manufacturers state that cleaning must be done without abrasives, high pressure, or chemical cleaners, or the warranty is voided. Our pure water method fully aligns with industry guidelines, preventing hotspot burnout and protecting your long-term investment.
Many Gauteng households utilize rainwater tanks, boreholes, and greywater systems. Because we clean with absolutely zero soaps, detergents, or chemicals, all run-off from the roof is completely non-toxic and safe for your gardens, pets, and water storage.
