Solar Park Cleaning

Based in Norfolk, Solar Park Cleaning Ltd (SPC) offers commercial solar PV panel cleaning and ground maintenance services for solar farms throughout the UK and Europe.

Our staff are CPLS and IOSH trained.

We only clean the panels using de-ionised water which we bring to the site. De-ionised water ensures:

• All minerals have been taken out including calcium and chlorine
• We won't leave any limescale streaks
• No risk of the aluminium frames oxidising

Our industrial solar panel cleaning system utilises a number of specialised utility vehicles which can handle all types of terrain whether environmentally sensitive, boggy or sandy or steep slopes. One of the best in our fleet is the Weidemann Articulated Telehandler, which has an excellent turning radius and, at just 1.4 metres wide, is narrow enough to be able to fit between the aisles of a typical UK solar farm.

The mobile brush at 4.5 metres wide cleans the panels in one sweep thanks to its clever corkscrew design. This winning combination means we offer the most efficient solar farm cleaning technology currently available in the UK.

Services
Our Solar Photovoltaic panel cleaning services include:

• Mobile brush cleaning
  All of our vehicles are fitted with a mobile brush which can clean the panels in both directions at the same time.


• Hand or jet wash cleaning
  Our highly skilled operators understand the delicate nature of solar panels so they can be hand or jet washed as necessary.


• Wheeled or tracked vehicles
  We have wheeled or tracked vehicles which can cope with all types of terrain, dry or boggy, sandy or dusty, with minimum soil damage.


• Grounds maintenance service
  We offer a grounds maintenance service to ensure that a solar farm or park is running at its optimum.

Photovoltaic panel cleaning
We provide large scale cleaning services to solar farms and parks in the UK and across Europe.

In order to maintain peak performance from solar PV panels it is essential that they are cleaned regularly. Any pollutant such as dust (which the panels on solar farms are particularly prone to accumulating), bird droppings, tree sap or leaves causes shade and blocks sunlight reaching the panel thus decreasing its efficiency. Expert views differ as to what the exact percentage of lost electricity is but it is thought to be in the region of 25 to 30%.

It is vital that the panels are cleaned properly by professionals with the right equipment and knowledge for the job and this is where Solar Park Cleaning Ltd can help you. Our operators have undergone extensive manufacturers training courses, are CPLS and IOSH trained, and have hours of experience. We are fully insured and will carry out a comprehensive risk assessment and provide a method statement prior to undertaking any cleaning.

Hand and jet washing
Our highly skilled operators understand the delicate nature of solar panels so they can be hand or jet washed as necessary.

Solar farm grounds maintenance
Solar farms and parks must be regularly maintained. If the area around and under the solar panels is not kept trim then lengthy grass or weeds rubbing against the panels can cause them to short. We provide maintenance services using our Teagle Berti 230-280 inter-row flail mower on a Kyoti DK551C tractor to keep solar farms weed free and thus running at optimum performance.

Our machines
Our solar panel cleaning machines are comprised of a Weidemann 2070 CX50LP tractor and Norcar a7545 Four-Track MiniLoader with mobile brush. Robust enough to do the job yet narrow enough to be able to easily go up and down the aisles of a typical UK solar panel farm. They also have a tight turning radius. Operating on wheels or tracks means that they can cope with all different types of ground without the driver needing to constantly level the machine. The Norcar is particularly suited to boggier and wet sites.

All machines supplied with a qualified driver/operator. Deionized water for cleaning the solar panels brought to the site.
