Solar Panel Cleaning in Teignmouth

The Moore & Franks approach in Teignmouth

Teignmouth catches it from both sides — open sea on one flank, the Teign estuary on the other — so panels here gather salt spray and estuary damp in equal measure. The older terraces climbing up from the front and the newer homes around Broadmeadow all share the same slow loss: a haze of salt, algae and gull droppings that scatters the light before it works. We're a Devon family business, 25 years at it, and we clean with purified water through gentle brushes, all from the ground. No abrasives near your warranty, no boots on your tiles. Panels come back clear and your generation figures recover the ground they'd quietly lost.

Panels on the slopes climbing toward Bishopsteignton and above The Triangle sit on steep, north-facing pitches, and steep slate roofs in a damp coastal spot grow algae and lichen fast. On a solar array that means a creeping film exactly where the panels most need clear glass. Because we clean from below on water-fed poles, the pitch of the roof makes no odds to us and no weight ever goes onto slates already loosened by moss.

The tall Victorian and Regency houses set back from The Den often carry their panels three storeys up, which puts them beyond a domestic ladder and awkward for anyone not set up for height. Our carbon-fibre poles reach that far comfortably from the pavement or yard, so there is no scaffolding to hire and no risk taken on the roof. The painted render around them stays unmarked too.

It is worth watching your generation figures if you are near the water in Teignmouth. Marine damp and salt let a haze rebuild on the glass within a year, and the drop can be gradual enough to miss. We usually suggest an annual clean here, and if the wind-driven leaves off Coombe Vale have packed your gutters at the same time, we can clear those from the ground while we are set up.
