Solar panel cleaning & coating — northern coastal Perth
Dust, salt film and mineral spotting quietly tax your system's output. We clean panel glass safely, then coat it so it stays cleaner for longer.
Get my free estimate →On the coastal strip from Mindarie to Two Rocks, panels collect a film that ordinary rain cannot rinse: wind-blown dust bonded by salt-laden moisture, plus mineral spotting wherever bore water reaches a roof. The loss creeps in gradually — panels rarely look dirty from the ground — but light transmission, and output, pay for it every day.
What we do
- Non-abrasive cleaning of the panel glass — no harsh chemistry, no pressure blasting, no scouring pads
- Controlled removal of mineral spotting and salt film
- A dust-reducing hydrophobic coating applied to the glass face, so water sheets off and dust has less to grip
- A written maintenance interval, so you know when the next clean is actually due — and coated panels go longer between cleans
Why coat rather than just clean
A clean returns the panel to baseline; a coating changes how fast it degrades from there. Lower dust adhesion means rain does part of the cleaning work between services, spotting is easier to remove, and the interval between paid cleans stretches out. It is available as a standalone service or as an add-on to any ShoreMate visit.
Common questions
Yes — we work on the glass face only, with non-abrasive methods and cleaning chemistry appropriate for coated PV glass. No pressure washers, no scourers.
The coating is an ultra-thin, optically clear treatment on the glass surface — its purpose is to protect the light transmission you paid for by keeping the glass cleaner between services.
Yes — ground-mount and commercial rooftop systems are quoted on inspection.
