What you get
Solar panel cleaning in Thornbury — what's included
Daniel carries out Thornbury solar panel cleaning himself, harnessed on the roof with deionised water and soft brushes for every panel. Each visit also includes a free condition inspection and before and after photos emailed the same day.
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.
Photo report the same dayBefore and after shots emailed, plus a reminder when you're next due.
Daniel's promise
Your local Thornbury solar panel cleaner
A Thornbury clean comes with a firm price, full insurance and the owner doing the work himself.
Edwardian weatherboards and interwar brick and timber bungalows fill Thornbury's streets, many extended out the back, with newer townhouses and apartments closer to High Street and St Georges Road. Daniel cleans solar on Thornbury homes personally, so the person who answers your enquiry is the one who climbs the ladder, washes the panels and sends the 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
Across Thornbury, Daniel treats aged tile and iron roofs with care, keeping his harness connected to 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.
Bungalow belt
Thornbury bungalows, extensions and townhouses
Thornbury homes often combine an older front section with a newer rear build, which affects where panels sit and how Daniel reaches them.
Interwar bungalows
Brick and timber bungalows from the 1920s and 30s often have terracotta roofs with several faces. Panels tend to be spread around gables, so each section is cleaned separately.
Second-storey additions
Plenty of families have added an upstairs extension at the rear, lifting the panels higher. Daniel's height-safety setup handles it, with no extra charge for double storey.
Shared walls, tight gaps
Semi-detached homes and townhouses near the main roads can have minimal side access. Daniel confirms the best way onto the roof before the day.
Many 3071 homes: A family with an upstairs rear extension where the panels were moved higher during the renovation, and nobody has been up to clean them since.
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
- Soft brush only — safe on seals and coatings
- Droppings lifted off, not smeared around

Best times to book
When to clean solar panels in Thornbury
Many Thornbury solar owners plan their clean around one of these times.
Get set for summer
November–December
A clean in late spring clears the grime and pollen so your panels start summer with clear glass during the year's longest days.
Spring clear-out
September–October
Blossoming street trees and gardens leave pollen on top of winter's dust. Cleaning now gets the system ready for warmer weather.
Cooler months
March–May
Autumn's mild conditions are ideal for clearing baked-on summer dust and droppings, and the inspection flags any wear before winter arrives.
Tree trouble
Anytime
If a neighbour's tree has grown over your roof, leaf litter can build up on the glass. A clean clears it, and the inspection notes any new shading.
Thornbury questions
Solar panel cleaning Thornbury — FAQs
How much does solar panel cleaning cost in Thornbury?
You'll pay $140 for up to 6 panels, $150 for 12 or $170 for 14, including GST. Above 14 panels it's $5 each, so a 17 panel system is $185. Double-storey homes attract no surcharge, and the free condition inspection is included.
My Thornbury panels are on an upstairs extension. Can you reach them?
In most cases, yes. Daniel works on the roof in a harness with height-safety gear, which lets him clean panels on second-storey additions safely. There's no height surcharge, and no charge for anything that can't be reached safely.
Does it matter if my Thornbury panels are spread across several roof faces?
Not at all. Daniel cleans each section of the array by hand with the same care, whether it holds two panels or ten. Pricing is based on the total panel count, not how the array is laid out.
Why can't rain do the job?
Rain washes off some loose dust, but bird droppings, lichen and sticky grime stay put. Rainwater also leaves spots as it dries. Deionised water and soft brushes leave the glass properly clean with no residue.
Do I need to stay home in Thornbury while the panels are cleaned?
Only if the roof can't be reached without coming through the house. With side or rear gate access, Daniel can do the clean while you're out and email before and after photos the same day.
Is Daniel's method safe for my panels?
Yes. He uses deionised pure water and soft brushes, with no detergents and no pressure washing. That keeps the clean gentle on glass coatings, frames and seals, and in line with what panel warranties expect.
Can I add gutter vacuum cleaning?
Yes. Gutter vacuum cleaning is available with any solar clean, and booking both together takes 10% off the gutter work. It saves arranging a separate visit for the roof later on.
Can several Thornbury neighbours book on the same day?
Yes. When a few homes on your street book the same visit, everyone gets a better rate. Send Daniel the addresses and panel counts together, and he'll organise one day that works for the group.
