Installing solar panels is a smart investment – lowering your energy bills, reducing your carbon footprint, and increasing your property value. But before you make the switch to solar, there’s one crucial step you shouldn’t skip: arranging a professional roof clean before your panels are installed.
A Clean Surface Means a Stronger Installation
In the UK, solar panels need a stable, debris-free surface to be installed properly. Moss, algae, dirt, or loose tiles can interfere with the mounting system, risking poor alignment or even long-term damage. A professional roof clean ensures your installers have a safe, clean, and secure foundation to work from.
Maximise Solar Efficiency
Even if the panels are installed correctly, dirt on and around them can impact their efficiency. Moss and grime on your roof can cause shadows, which reduce your panels’ ability to absorb sunlight. Regular cleaning during and after installation helps protect your energy output over time.
At My Property Pros, we use specialist softwashing and manual moss removal techniques to safely prepare roofs for solar installations, without damaging tiles or voiding warranties.
Extend Lifespan & Protect Your Investment
Solar panels are designed to last for decades, so your roof needs to be just as durable. Removing organic build-up before installation helps prevent future water damage, leaks, and structural issues. Combining roof cleaning and gutter clearing gives your new installation the best possible start and long-term stability.
