The Moore & Franks approach in Budleigh Salterton
Budleigh Salterton's quiet, well-kept streets and its pebble beach belong to a town that takes pride in its appearance — and grubby solar panels rather spoil the picture. The sea air carries salt up over Fore Street and the homes along the Otter valley, while the settled coastal damp encourages green algae to creep across panels left uncleaned. We're a family-run Devon firm and we work to the same standard the town expects: purified water, soft brushing, every panel done from the ground. No harsh chemicals, no ladders against heritage roofs. Your array comes back gleaming and, more to the point, generating the power you installed it to produce.
The larger detached homes that fill Budleigh Salterton, many with mature gardens and older owners, tend to carry generous roofs and the space for a decent solar array. Those same gardens drop leaf and seed off the trees around South Farm Road straight onto the panels each autumn. On a big array the loss adds up fast when the glass greens over. We work the whole run of panels from the ground, so even a wide roof is cleared in one steady pass.
Still mornings here bring the sea fret drifting up the Otter estuary, and it settles a fine damp over rooftops that lingers well past sunrise. Solar panels held wet like that for hours on end are perfect ground for the green algae the town is prone to. Rain never quite rinses them clean because the salt in the film keeps holding moisture. A proper wash breaks that cycle and lets the glass dry clear.
Up the climbing roads around West Hill and Coastguard Road, the panels sit high and open to the weather, which is good for sun but hard on upkeep. Reaching them is no trouble from the pavement below on our poles, and it saves anyone balancing a ladder on a sloping drive. Out in East Budleigh and Otterton the plots are bigger still, and ground-mounted arrays there are quick work.
Our Budleigh Salterton customers are typically within 25 minutes of our Exeter base. We cover the wider EX9 postcode area and the surrounding villages (The Octagon and Fairlynch Museum, Marine Parade and the pebble beach, River Otter estuary and South Farm Road, West Hill and Coastguard Road, East Budleigh and Otterton villages, Budleigh Salterton Golf Club).

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions we get asked the most. If yours isn't here, drop us a line — we reply same day.
The price is £7 + VAT per panel, quoted in writing beforehand. A larger detached-house array, common in Budleigh Salterton, simply means more panels rather than a higher rate, and a heavier coastal film on a first clean does not change the per-panel figure.
Yes. Alongside the town, Marine Parade and West Hill, we clean panels out to East Budleigh and Otterton, and around South Farm Road and the golf club. The whole EX9 area is a straightforward run from our Topsham base.
Yes. There is no pressure washing involved on panels at all; we use only pure water and a soft brush, and we reach them from the ground so nobody stands on ageing slate or clay. The algae lifts away and the roof is never touched.
