Solar Panel Cleaning in Honiton

The Moore & Franks approach in Honiton

Honiton's long high street and its surrounding hills sit in proper East Devon farming country, and that's the root of the muck on local solar panels. Dust from the fields, pollen in spring, and bird droppings from the rooftops all build up on arrays across the town and the outlying hamlets. The valley holds moisture too, so algae takes hold on panels nobody's touched in a while. We're a family-run Devon firm with 25 years behind us, and we clean with purified water and soft brushes, every job done from the ground. No detergents, no roof access, no risk to your panels — just clean glass and the generation figures you were promised at install.

Out in the lanes toward Gittisham and Combe Raleigh, Honiton runs to farmhouses and barn conversions with big, wide roof spans, and those often carry sizeable solar arrays. A large roof means a large area of glass losing output when field dust and algae take hold, so the cleaning has a real payback here. Exposed as these places are, we still work every panel from the ground on poles, with no ladders propped against rambling old roofs.

The Georgian townhouses lining the high street wear their solar less obviously, tucked on roofs three storeys up behind rendered, lace-merchant frontages. Getting to those panels is beyond a normal ladder, but our carbon-fibre poles reach them from the pavement without any scaffold or disruption to the shops below. Pure water and a soft head lift the grime, and the old render and stonework stay completely untouched by anything we do.

Moss thrives on the north-facing slate and concrete tiles so common around Honiton, and where it grows above a solar array it slowly seeds the glass below with spores and grit. Left through a damp winter, that turns to a stubborn film. Clearing it once a year keeps on top of it, and if the mature trees along New Street have clogged your gutters at the same time, we can see to those from the ground too.
