Residential & Commercial Solar Panel and Gutter Cleaning in Kiama

Signs of clogged gutters include water overflowing during rainfall, water spilling over the gutter edges, sagging gutters and visible debris like leaves and twigs. You may also notice water stains on exterior walls or foundation, which can indicate blockages and improper drainage. Regularly inspecting your gutters for these signs is crucial to prevent potential damage to your home.

If your gutters are rusting or corroded, take action promptly. Begin by inspecting the extent of the damage. For minor issues, you can clean the affected area, apply a rust converter and then repaint it. However, severe damage may require the replacement of damaged sections or even the entire gutter system. To prevent future rusting or corrosion, invest in regular maintenance and cleaning, and consider using gutter materials less susceptible to these issues like aluminium or PVC.

Solar panels get dirty primarily due to environmental factors including: 

• Dust and pollen: Airborne particles settle on the panels over time. 
• Bird droppings: Birds can perch on panels and leave behind waste. 
• Tree debris: Leaves, twigs and sap can fall onto panels from nearby trees.  
• Air pollution: Industrial emissions and vehicle exhaust contribute to panel soiling.  
• Rain: While it can help clean panels, it can also carry dirt and dust. 

Dirty solar panels reduce performance by blocking sunlight. Dust, dirt, bird droppings and debris create a barrier that reduces the panels' ability to absorb sunlight effectively. This leads to decreased energy production, lower efficiency and reduced electricity generation. Regular cleaning is essential to maintain optimal performance and maximize the return on your solar investment.
