Daniel's promise
Your local McKinnon solar panel cleaner
A small suburb deserves a straightforward service: Daniel quotes a fixed McKinnon price, turns up himself and does the work properly.
McKinnon is a compact pocket of Glen Eira centred on its station and the shops along McKinnon Road, with its well-known secondary college nearby. Housing runs from interwar bungalows to post-war brick homes and newer townhouses. Daniel cleans panels on every type himself, answering enquiries, quoting and doing each job personally.
- 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
From terracotta bungalow roofs to townhouse Colorbond, McKinnon roofs are worked carefully, with Daniel clipped into height-safety gear the entire time.
Honest debrief
He tells you what he found — even when that means your panels didn't need doing yet.
Compact family streets
How McKinnon homes shape each solar clean
Renovations, extensions and townhouse builds have given McKinnon a varied roofscape, so Daniel plans every clean around the house in front of him.
Renovated period homes
Many interwar houses have been extended at the rear, leaving an older tiled roof at the front joined to a newer section behind. Panels may sit on either, and Daniel adjusts his footing for each.
Narrow side access
Houses built close to their boundaries can leave only a slim path down one side. Daniel carries ladder and harness gear that fits these gaps without damaging fences or garden beds.
Mixed system sizes
Some McKinnon roofs carry a modest early system, others a newer, larger one added after renovations. Pricing simply follows panel count, with $5 per panel beyond 14 and no height surcharge.
Typical for McKinnon: A renovated bungalow where the panels went onto the new rear extension, out of sight from the garden, quietly collecting dust, pollen and droppings season after season.
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 McKinnon
McKinnon owners will find these four timings work well for a solar clean.
Before summer arrives
November–December
A November or December clean clears the glass ahead of the summer holidays, so the system has a clean start when daylight hours peak.
Spring pollen clear-out
September–October
Street trees and backyard gardens coat roofs in pollen once spring starts. A clean now also lets Daniel check for anything winter weather loosened.
Autumn wash-down
March–May
Dust and droppings dried on through summer lift away with deionised water and soft brushes, and mild autumn days suit roof work.
After an extension
Anytime
If your own renovation or one next door has just wrapped up, construction dust has almost certainly reached the panels. A clean clears it off.
McKinnon questions
Solar panel cleaning McKinnon — FAQs
How much does solar panel cleaning cost in McKinnon?
Pricing includes GST: $140 for up to 6 panels, $150 for 12 panels and $170 for 14. Past that it's $5 per panel, so a 17 panel system costs $185. Double-storey homes aren't charged extra, and every clean comes with a free condition inspection.
My McKinnon house has very narrow side access. Can Daniel still get in?
Almost always. His ladder and height-safety gear are chosen to fit tight side paths, and he takes care around fences, gardens and downpipes. If the array truly can't be reached safely, you won't be charged.
My McKinnon panels are split between the original roof and an extension. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Split arrays are common in renovated homes. Daniel cleans each section separately, adjusting his footing for older tiles or newer roofing, and the price is still based on your total panel count.
Is Daniel's cleaning method safe for my panel warranty?
Yes. He uses deionised pure water and soft brushes only, with no detergents and no pressure washing. That gentle approach looks after the glass, frames and seals, which is exactly what panel manufacturers want to see.
Can mesh bird proofing be fitted to my McKinnon panels?
Yes. If pigeons or other birds have been settling around your array, Daniel can quote mesh bird proofing that closes off the gap around the edges. He prices it after seeing the roof, and it can be done during the same visit as your clean.
Do grimy panels actually produce less power?
Dust, pollen, bird droppings and traffic grime all sit between the sun and the cells, so less light gets through. A single dropping can shade part of a panel. A clean restores clear glass so the panels can work as intended.
Can I organise a clean with other McKinnon households?
Yes. If a few neighbours book for the same visit, Daniel can do all the roofs in one trip and each household gets a better rate. Share the addresses and approximate panel counts, and he'll sort a day for everyone.
How soon can I get a booking?
Daniel offers same-week bookings and replies to enquiries the same day. Send your address and panel count, and he'll come back with a fixed price and the next available time.
