Solar Panel Cleaning
&
Bird Netting Installation
Dust, pollen and bird droppings build up on your panels year-round, and most homeowners never notice until their solar output quietly drops. Studies consistently show dirty panels can lose 15–25% of their energy output, with heavy soiling from bird droppings causing even steeper localised losses.
ProTradie's solar cleaning crews are fully insured and heights-trained, using safe, scratch-free cleaning methods to restore your system's performance, with bird netting available if pigeons or other birds are nesting underneath your panels.
We service homes across Melbourne and Geelong, including Caroline Springs, Burnside Heights, Taylors Lakes, Hillside, Deer Park, Essendon, Sunbury and Preston.

Solar Panel Cleaning FAQs
How much does solar panel cleaning cost in Melbourne?
Cleaning up to 20 panels costs $250, Larger systems, double-storey properties, or panels needing bird netting may cost more, we will confirm pricing upfront.
How often should I clean my solar panels?
Most homes benefit from a clean once a year or every second year. If you're near trees, on a dusty road, or dealing with birds nesting under your panels, more frequent cleaning may be worthwhile.
Do dirty solar panels really lose that much output?
Yes. Multiple studies show dust and grime buildup typically cuts output by 15–25%, and bird droppings can cause even steeper localised losses on affected panels.
Do you offer bird netting?
Yes. Our Solar Clean & Bird Netting combo includes a full solar panel clean plus netting installation to stop birds nesting under your panels for good.
Is it safe to clean solar panels myself?
We don't recommend it. Panels are often on steep or high roofs, and the wrong technique or cleaning products can scratch the glass, your solar system might be leaking DC Voltage which can be fatal to you when washing down with water. Our crew is heights-trained, insured, uses personal safety techniques and scratch-free methods.
