Why Regular Solar Panel Maintenance Matters in Perth
Western Australia’s dry climate and high solar exposure make solar systems a valuable investment.
However, to maintain high energy yields, panels must remain clean and structurally sound. Windborne dust, salt from sea breezes, and bird droppings can all accumulate on panels in Perth, diminishing their output.
Regular inspections and cleaning help protect your investment and extend system life.

Our maintenance plans are designed for Fremantle’s climate and tailored to your specific solar system. We offer scheduled cleaning intervals and annual inspections aligned with Perth’s weather cycles to ensure year-round performance.

FAQs – Solar Panel Maintenance in Perth
How often should solar panels be cleaned in Perth?

Yes. Dirt, salt, and bird droppings can reduce output by 10–25%, especially in dry and dusty Perth suburbs.
Do you inspect the inverter during maintenance?
Yes. Our maintenance includes inverter diagnostics to identify faults, connection issues, and performance problems.
Is professional cleaning better than DIY?
Yes. We use deionised water and soft brushes to avoid damage and streaking, which common DIY methods often cause.
