Solar Panel Cleaning In Launceston

Have you been told that your solar panels are self-cleaning?

If they are on a very steep angle and you get a fair amount of rain, then maybe you could get away with not cleaning your panels.

But most solar panels will require a clean. Birds defecate on them, trees leave pollen on them and moss and lichen grow on them. Everyday dirt and grime builds up and forms a layer over the glass.

Consider trying to look out of dirty glasses or a dirty window or windscreen. It is much clearer when they have been cleaned. The same can be said of solar panels. The cleaner they are the more efficient they are.

And let’s face it, you have gone to the expense of installing them so you may as well get the most out of them.

Just look at the difference in the before and after photo of the solar panel clean we completed in Launceston.

Solar Panel Cleaning in Launceston

This client has requested that we clean their gutters every year and at the same time clean the panels. As we are there already, cleaning the gutters, we charge a reduced rate on the panel clean. 

If you have not considered your solar panels before, it might be time to start now. And why not get the gutters done too?

Two jobs ticked of the list every year with a reminder from us when they are due. We will get the work done with as minimum of an interruption to your life as an email to see if you want the work completed that year. You don’t even have to be home when we do the work, as long as you are happy for us to be there without you.

You will be emailed a report and photos of the completed work along with your invoice, with our bank details. There is no face to face contact where COVID 19 is concerned. But if you want to talk to us we are happy to talk over the phone, through the door or window  or face to face in keeping with the regulations of social distancing.

Booking a job is as easy as ringing, emailing or submitting a website enquiry.

Tips For Making Gutter Cleaning As Simple As Possible

Gutter cleaning doesn’t have to be a messy chore that leaves you physically and mentally exhausted. By preparing beforehand, you can avoid most of the unpleasantness that comes with the job. 

Organisation Tips to Remember

Here’s a list to help keep you organised with suggestions on how to simplify gutter cleaning:

  • Wear the proper attire – gloves, full sleeves work shirt, pants, and rubber-soled boots 
  • Toss the bucket and lay a tarp on your lawn. By scooping the gunk onto the tarp, you’ll protect your lawn and save yourself trips up and down the ladder.
  • Use a ladder with a stabiliser. Hook necessities like a garden hose (attached to a water source, of course) to your ladder to reduce trips up and down the ladder.
  • Use a plastic gunk scooper (a rubber spatula will work if you’re in a pinch). Don’t use metal as it might damage your gutters.
  • Keep repair supplies (drill, nails, brackets) handy and save yourself a second trip by fixing while you clean.
  • Flush your gutters once you are done cleaning out the dry leaves and debris. Don’t forget to run the water down the downspout at full pressure to ensure they’re free of blockages.

Safety Tips to Remember

Gutter cleaning can be challenging. Follow these tips to stay safe:

  • Ensure the ladder is on stable ground or is tethered to something
  • Get the correct ladder height for your house, inspect it for wear and tear, don’t overreach, and remember to check the ladder’s maximum load capacity 
  • If your home has multiple stories, get a safety harness and a spotter
  • Be careful of electrical wiring around gutters, especially if you’re using water
  • Don’t wear loose clothes that will snag on the ladder or roof
  • Wear protective gear to avoid contact with rodents, birds, mould and anything else hidden in the gunk

Reduce your workload by following these suggestions:

  • Trim tree branches and remove the main source of debris in your rain gutters
  • Get a gutter protection system
  • Schedule twice-a-year cleaning to prevent damage to your gutter system and your home
