Its been a pleasure working with Solar Panel Cleaning throughout 2019.
Hayley and her team run and extremely tight ship with an emphasis on health and safety, and quality of service. I appointed Solar Panel Cleaning to clean over 8MW , approximately 32,000 roof mounted solar panels spread across 30+ sites nationwide. Every site was cleaned to an amazing standard without a single hitch. If you're looking for a professional company with a proven track record for service, safety and quality then look no further.

My 16 panels are now 5 years old and the output was clearly degrading. After a visit from SPCS the output is restored. I can thoroughly recommend this company, well organised, reliable with great customer service. They have the right equipment and treat safety as top priority which is important with any roof works

I was very impressed with this company. The office communicate very well and they were able to clean my solar panels, which had proved too awkward to get at for my local company
