Safe, professional cleaning to maximise your energy efficiency. Protect your investment and ensure your solar panel system is performing at its peak with our specialist reach-and-wash system.
At Taylor-Duncan Exterior Cleaning, we understand that solar panels are a significant investment in your home’s future. However, to work at their maximum efficiency, they need to be kept clear of environmental build-up. Dust, bird droppings, road grime, and salt spray create a film that blocks sunlight, potentially reducing your energy output by up to 25%. We provide a professional cleaning service using telescopic reach-and-wash poles, ensuring your panels are spotless without ever putting weight on your roof or the panels themselves.
Following our commitment to honesty and professionalism, we treat solar panels with the specific care they require. We use ultra-soft brushes designed for delicate glass and avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the panels’ anti-reflective coating. We don’t just clean; we help you get the most out of your green energy investment.
Rainwater alone is not enough to keep your panels clean; in fact, it often leaves behind mineral deposits and “spotting” that hinders performance.

Yes, we provide a specialist solar panel cleaning service. We use low-pressure water and extendable soft-bristle brushes to safely remove all traces of organic growth and environmental grime.
Pricing for solar panels is POA (Price on Application) because the cost depends on the height of the roof, the size of the system, and ease of access. For an accurate, fixed-price quote, we ask that you provide a recent photograph of your panels via our contact form or WhatsApp.
Not when done professionally. We use specific “solar-safe” brushes and avoid high-pressure water, which could crack the glass or damage the seals. We also avoid harsh detergents, using only purified water or manufacturer-approved solutions to protect the panel’s coating.
Yes. While solar panels are designed to be weather-resistant, they should always be switched off prior to any cleaning or maintenance for safety reasons.
For most properties in the Central Scotland, a yearly clean is sufficient. However, if you live near a main road, a farm, or an area with high bird activity, you may find that a six-monthly clean helps maintain peak energy production.
In most cases, we use only purified water and a soft brush, as this is the safest and most effective method. If chemicals are required for stubborn bird mess, we only use approved, pH-neutral solutions that are safe for the environment and your panels.
Yes. Our reach-and-wash pole system allows us to clean most residential solar arrays from the ground. If your panels are particularly high or in an awkward position, we can utilise our own professional scaffold tower to ensure a thorough and safe clean.
No, you don’t need to be home—and many of our customers prefer to be at work while we complete the job. As long as we have access to the areas needing treatment and any side gates are unlocked, we can complete the work. Our van is equipped with a 650-litre water tank, allowing us to be fully self-sufficient for power and water. We will always send you before and after photographs once the job is complete so you can see the transformation immediately.
