Rowhedge Solar Panel Cleaning
Rowhedge sits beside the Colne, and solar panels here pick up river mist, droppings from the birds along the water and pollen from the trees on the ridge. Many of the newer homes on the former wharf land have panels, and plenty of the older houses do too. We clean them with pure water.
We charge per panel, so the quote builder below can work out your exact total.

River mist and birds
Mist off the Colne settles on panels on damp mornings, and the dust it holds dries into a film. Rowhedge is a favourite spot for gulls and waders, so droppings are common on panels near the river, and they cut output by more than you’d expect, because shading one cell affects the whole string.
Parking near the quay can be tight, so we arrange access beforehand.
Older houses and new builds
Panels on the newer homes are often on steeper roofs, where rain rinses some dirt off but leaves the droppings. On older cottages, panels tend to be on rear roofs or garages, sometimes shaded by trees on the slope behind the village, which adds leaves and pollen in spring and autumn. Once a year suits most homes, and twice for those nearest the water.
Getting on the books
Many Rowhedge customers book an annual spring clean and stay on our rounds.
Tell us if your panels are on a rear roof or a garage, and if there’s a locked gate, so we can plan access. Systems over 25 panels are quoted individually, and there’s no extra charge for access by the river.
Our method
Cleaning is done with pure water, which is gentle on glass and its coating. Without minerals, there’s nothing to dry into streaks on the glass. Bird droppings and other stuck-on marks are soaked and softened before rinsing. When we’ve finished, every panel is clear.
Bird droppings and shading
On a Rowhedge roof, a single bird dropping can shade a whole cell, and because cells are linked together, the drop in output can be bigger than the size of the mark suggests. Droppings don’t wash off in the rain, so they stay put until someone cleans them.

Solar panel cleaning in Rowhedge: your questions
Do you clean panels on the newer townhouses?
Yes. They’re cleaned with pure water and priced per panel, like any other home.
Do you cover the rest of East Donyland?
Yes, the whole parish. Call 01206 688698.
Can you reach panels on a three-storey townhouse?
Usually, from the ground on poles. Unusual buildings are priced after a look.
Will damp air make my panels dirtier?
It helps lichen and grime stick, especially along the bottom of the frames.
Doesn’t the rain clean them?
Not fully. Rain leaves a film as it dries and won’t shift droppings, sap or lichen.
