Solar Panel Cleaning

in Newcastle & Lake Macquarie

Keep your panels performing — streak‐free clean with soft
brush & pure water, done safely.

After calm, dry spells — or coastal winds — panels collect dust,
salt & pollen. A gentle clean helps.

Why it matters?

Performance drag — Dust, salt and grime block light; a clean surface helps panels work as intended.
Debris build‐up — Leaves and nests trap moisture around mounts and can shade strings.
Warranty care — Many manufacturers expect non‐abrasive cleaning and safe access.
Safety & convenience — Roof work is risky; we bring the right gear and keep the site tidy.

Why choose Jake’s

Manufacturer‐safe method — Soft bristle brushes and purified/deionised water for a streak‐free finish; no harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.
Safety‐led at height — Ladder safety, roof access checks, and we avoid walking on panels.
System aware — We respect isolators and cabling; visual checks for obvious issues (we’ll flag anything we see).
Bundle & save — Combine with Gutter Cleaning or Roof/Path Pressure Washing on the same visit.
Written price before we start; before/after photos on request.

quality needs. We confirm your written price before we start (photos help).

How often should
I clean panels?

Most homes benefit from a 12‐month clean; 6‐month in
dusty/coastal or under trees. After major storms or bushfire
smoke, a check is worthwhile. Rain usually doesn’t remove
baked‐on film or salt.

FAQs

What turf suits shade?

Buffalo handles partial shade best. Couch and kikuyu need more sun.

When is the best time to lay turf?

Spring and autumn are ideal; you can lay in mild winter or summer with the right care (we’ll advise watering/fertiliser).

Do you remove the old lawn?

Yes — we quote to remove old turf/soil and bring in underlay as needed.

Can you fix drainage or uneven areas?

We correct levels/fall as part of prep. Larger drainage works can be scoped separately.

Do you guarantee the turf?

We guarantee workmanship. Turf is a living product — establishment depends on watering, weather and access. We provide a clear care plan to help it thrive.

Can you maintain it afterwards?

Yes — join a Garden Maintenance Plan (fortnightly/monthly) for consistent mowing, edging and seasonal lawn care. → /services/garden-maintenance-plans-newcastle/
