Solar panels have no moving parts, they require very little service or maintenance. We recommend a cleaning service twice a year to keep your solar panel system generating sufficient energy. This is to ensure your system is kept in full working order and without any fault or drop in a generation.
At Total Gleam, we take a hands-on approach to cleaning your solar panels. Unlike some companies that rely on robotic cleaning machines, we believe in the precision and care that comes from manual cleaning.
Each of your solar panels is attentively cleaned using specialist solutions tailored for maximum effectiveness and safety. This method allows us to avoid the issues often associated with robotic cleaners, such as marring and swirling on the UV panels.
Such defects can impair the panels’ efficiency by causing sunlight to deflect. Our manual cleaning not only ensures a thorough clean but also helps in maintaining the optimal performance of your solar panels by preventing potential damage.

Ideally, solar panels should be cleaned at least twice a year to maintain optimal performance. However, this can vary depending on your location and the level of dust and debris they're exposed to. Regular cleaning ensures they operate at maximum efficiency.
While it's possible to clean solar panels yourself, professional cleaning is recommended for safety and effectiveness. Our team uses specialised equipment and solutions to clean without damaging the panels or reducing their efficiency. Professional cleaning also ensures hard-to-reach areas are properly addressed.
Absolutely. Clean solar panels can significantly improve energy efficiency. Dirt, dust, and bird droppings can obstruct sunlight and reduce the panels' energy output. Regular cleaning removes these obstructions, ensuring your solar panels perform at their best.
