Service Area & Scope

WHAT WE DO & WHERE

We currently service Cape Town and surrounding suburbs for residential solar panel cleaning. We operate Monday to Saturday by appointment.

We use deionised water fed through soft-bristle poles — the industry-standard method that leaves zero residue and zero risk of scratching the glass surface.

Salt spray, bird droppings, fynbos pollen and dust are the main culprits in the Cape. We recommend a clean every 2–3 months for coastal properties, and every 3–4 months for inland Cape suburbs.

Commercial and industrial installations, and three-storey or higher properties, will be available in a future phase. Enquire anyway — we may still be able to help.

Pricing

HOW WE PRICE

📋

Per Panel Pricing

We quote per panel based on your specific installation. The more panels, the better the rate. All quotes are itemised and emailed before any booking is confirmed.

🏠

Single vs Double Storey

Double-storey installations carry a premium to cover the additional time, equipment and risk involved in safe access. This is quoted per job.

🚧

Access Surcharge

Difficult or restricted access — steep pitches, obstructions, limited tap distance — will be assessed from your photo and quoted accordingly.

💧

Water Access Required

We require access to a standard garden tap within a reasonable distance of the panels. Please note the closest tap distance in your quote request.

📸

Photo Assessment

We ask for a photo of your panels and roof before quoting. This lets us assess access, pitch and condition accurately — no surprises on the day.

🔄

Maintenance Plans

Regular customers receive preferential scheduling and discounted rates. Ask about our quarterly maintenance plan when requesting your quote.
