Specialist pure water & targeted lichen treatments
Solar glass features delicate anti-reflective (AR) coatings that require expert care. For routine maintenance, we use 100% manufacturer-compliant, pH-neutral cleaning agents (Solar Wash & Protect) combined with de-ionised pure water that dries completely streak-free.
When dealing with mature white or black lichen spots—which water alone can never remove—we apply specialized SolarClean Pro biocide dwell treatments. This breaks down organic root systems at a microscopic level without harsh mechanical force or dangerous scraping.

Keeping Cambridge solar panels working at peak yield
Soaring energy costs make solar PV a vital investment for Cambridge homes and local businesses. However, atmospheric grime, road film, bird droppings, and stubborn lichen create micro-shading on the glass—cutting energy output by 15% to 25%.
Standard rainwater won’t shift baked-on dirt or biological growth. At Clean It Cambridge, we restore your system’s efficiency using pure water wash systems and HSE-approved biocide treatments, safely returning your array to peak generation without risking property damage.
Platform safety over risky ladder setups
Traditional cleaning methods often involve leaning heavy extension ladders directly against fragile plastic gutters or walking across delicate roof tiles—creating severe fall risks, cracked tiles, and gutter damage.
We prioritize total site safety. For two-story domestic homes and commercial buildings, we work from secure mobile platforms or utilize ground-operated, ultra-lightweight carbon poles extending up to 45 feet. Operating from a stable platform eliminates weight on your gutters, protects your roof structure, and ensures full compliance with UK Work at Height safety standards.
Why choose Clean It for your solar panels?
Safety First: We use mobile scaffold towers and ground-reach carbon poles—no leaning ladders on your gutters or walking on your roof tiles.
High-Reach Capability: Safely clean arrays up to 45 feet high, including awkward two- and three-story townhouses.
Specialist Chemistry: HSE-approved treatments that dissolve stubborn lichen without damaging glass or surrounding roof materials.
Fully Insured: Covered by £5m Public Liability Insurance for residential homes and commercial sites.
Satisfaction Guarantee: All work is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee—if you notice any missed spots, we return and sort it out immediately.
Instant, Same-Day Results: Traditional biocide washes can take 3 to 6 months of rain to slowly breakdown lichen, leaving your generation hindered for months. Our specialist SolarClean Pro treatment and soft-agitation process dissolves biological bonds instantly—delivering complete, visible lichen removal before we leave your site.
100% Bleach-Free (Sodium Hypochlorite Free): Cheap contractors and general pressure-washers frequently use industrial bleach. Bleach degrades rubber panel seals, corrodes aluminum frame anodization, and leaves toxic runoff on roof tiles. Our chemistry is purpose-formulated for solar PV glass safety.
Scraper-Free Glass Protection: Scraping lichen with blades or harsh abrasives micro-scratches delicate anti-reflective (AR) glass coatings, causing permanent hot-spotting. We chemically loosen lichen roots at a microscopic level, allowing gentle bristle agitation to lift them cleanly off the glass.
