What you get
Solar panel cleaning in Kensington — what's included
Kensington combines Victorian workers' cottages around Macaulay Road with the newer townhouses of Kensington Banks, and both carry plenty of solar. Daniel's solar panel cleaning uses deionised water and soft brushes, applied by hand on the roof.
Full array photographed firstThe whole roof documented before a brush touches the glass.
Full pure-water cleanDeionised water and soft brushes across every panel — dries with no spotting or residue.
Built-up grime properly liftedThe bonded film of dust and pollen that rain leaves behind, taken off the glass for real.
Droppings and lichen worked offSoftened and removed, not smeared across the panel and left to bake back on.
Frames, clamps and channelsEdges and gaps cleared so water and debris drain instead of pooling on the seals.
Bird droppings lifted offSoftened and removed from the glass rather than smeared across it and left to bake on.
Condition inspectionCracked glass, lifted seals, loose clamps and new shading flagged with photos.

Daniel's promise
Your local Kensington solar panel cleaner
Single operator, fixed price, before and after photos: that's how Daniel handles Kensington solar cleans.
Kensington's older streets near the station are lined with single-fronted Victorian cottages and weatherboards, while Kensington Banks, developed on former saleyards land, brought rows of townhouses and modern homes with small courtyards. Rooftop solar has spread through both. Daniel cleans every Kensington system himself, working safely on the roof with a harness, and he's the one you speak to from first contact to final photos.
- Harness and height safety on every job
- Pure-water brush — no detergents or pressure washing
- Fixed price agreed before he starts
Daniel does it himself
You booked Daniels Solar Cleaning, you get Daniel. No subcontractors and no trainees, ever.
Careful on your roof
Kensington's cottage iron roofs and townhouse tiles and Colorbond are treated gently, with Daniel clipped into height-safety gear on every job.
Honest debrief
He tells you what he found — even when that means your panels didn't need doing yet.
Two housing eras
Solar cleaning across Kensington's old and new streets
Kensington's housing splits neatly between its Victorian core and newer townhouse precinct, and each brings different roof and access considerations.
Kensington Banks townhouses
Townhouses here are often two storeys with shared walls and compact roofs. Arrays are usually modest, and Daniel charges the same regardless of height.
Weatherboard cottages
Older weatherboard and brick cottages typically have corrugated iron roofs with panels at the rear. Daniel treats aged sheeting carefully and avoids unnecessary movement across it.
Courtyard-only access
Many homes have a small courtyard and no side path. Daniel may need to pass through the house or garage, so he'll agree a time when someone can let him in.
Common in Kensington: A two-storey townhouse owner whose panels sit high on a compact roof, with no side gate and neighbours on both sides.
See the difference
Dirt you can't see is costing you power
That film isn't loose dust. It's bonded pollen, traffic soot and mineral residue — and rain doesn't shift it.
- Deionised pure water dries without spotting

Best times to book
When to clean solar panels in Kensington
Solar owners in 3031 tend to get the most from a clean at these times.
Early summer
Nov–Dec
A clean in November or December has your panels ready for the sunniest part of the year, free of the dust that settled over winter and spring.
Springtime
Sep–Oct
Pollen season adds a fresh coating to winter's grime. Booking in spring clears the glass and lets the inspection spot any clamps or seals that need a look.
Autumn go-over
Mar–May
After the heat, dried-on dust and droppings are ready to come off. Autumn weather is comfortable for roof work and good for a check before winter.

Kensington questions
Solar panel cleaning Kensington — FAQs
How much does solar panel cleaning cost in Kensington?
Prices start at $140 for up to 6 panels, then $150 for 12 and $170 for 14, all including GST. From 15 panels on, each adds $5, so an 18 panel array is $190. Double-storey townhouses pay no surcharge, and each clean includes a free condition inspection.
Can you clean panels on a two-storey Kensington townhouse?
Yes. Daniel works on the roof using a harness and height-safety gear, and two-storey homes cost the same as single storey. On shared-wall roofs he stays on your section, and nothing is charged for any area he can't reach safely.
My Kensington home has no side access. Do I need to be there?
If Daniel has to come through the house or garage, someone will need to let him in, so he'll book a time that suits you. With an open rear gate or lane access, you can be out while he works.
Does a bit of dirt really matter?
It does. Dust, pollen, traffic grime and bird droppings stop some sunlight reaching the cells, and a single dropping can shade part of a panel. Keeping the glass clean lets your system perform as designed.
Can a row of Kensington townhouses book together?
Yes, and it suits townhouse rows well. When several neighbours book the same visit, each gets a better rate. Send Daniel the addresses and panel counts and he'll set one day for everyone.
How often do Kensington panels need a clean?
Once a year works for most homes. If you have trees overhanging or birds perching near the array, twice a year keeps things clearer. Daniel will let you know what he'd suggest after the first clean.
Can you look after a rental property's panels?
Yes. Daniel can arrange access with your tenant or managing agent, then email you the before and after photos and any condition inspection findings the same day, so you don't need to attend.
Won't rain do the job for free?
Unfortunately not. Rain moves some dust but leaves a residue when it dries, and it won't shift bird droppings or lichen. Panels on low-pitch townhouse roofs can also collect grime along the bottom edge.
