Watford solar panel cleaning, done from the ground
Dirty panels mean lost output. Ettiene's reach-and-wash service keeps panels across Watford running at peak — safely, from the ground, with no detergents and no scratching.
Why solar panels need cleaning
Over a year, dust, bird droppings, lichen and pollen can reduce the efficiency of solar PV panels by up to 25%. Rain alone doesn't fully wash these contaminants away, so the grime builds up and your output quietly drops. A regular clean maintains generation, helps extend panel life and is recommended by most manufacturers — which is exactly why homes right across Watford book Ettiene in to keep their arrays working as they should.
It's the same story whether you're on a south-facing roof in town or a rural property catching tree sap and farmland dust. Ettiene cleans panels for households across Watford, as well as Luton, St Albans, Bedford and the surrounding villages, so wherever you are in the area your system can keep earning its keep.
Our soft-brush, ground-based method
We clean panels using the pure water-fed pole system with a dedicated soft solar brush. There are no detergents, no scratching and no risk to the seals around your panels — and no walking on the roof. De-ionised water is fed up a telescopic pole reaching up to 80ft, so the whole array is cleaned and rinsed to a streak-free finish entirely from the ground.
Pure water leaves no detergent residue behind, so there's nothing left on the glass to attract dirt again — your panels stay cleaner for longer between visits.
