Rentokil Specialist Hygiene

We can provide Solar Panel Cleaning services through our Specialist Partner Rentokil Specialist Hygiene. These solutions are available to Aviva customers at preferential rates.

Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels generate clean renewable energy. However, energy generation can be negatively affected by soiling such as dirt, moss or bird droppings, as well as creating hotspots which damage the panels over time and pose a fire risk. Rentokil Specialist Hygiene specialises in extreme cleaning and working at height and are able to cater to this issue.

• On-site assessment: On-site survey to assess access (ground or roof) and specific cleaning requirements.
  
• Specialised cleaning method: Utilising bespoke equipment, including pure water filters, water-fed poles and soft brushes.
  
• Gentle and effective process: A non-abrasive approach using purified water and extendable brushes to gently remove dirt, debris and bird droppings without damaging panels or requiring harsh chemicals. High-pressure systems are avoided to prevent damage.
  
• Tailored commercial service: Nationwide service designed for a range of environments, including commercial solar systems such as factories and warehouses.

Enhanced energy efficiency

• Accumulation of deposits and debris on solar panel surfaces obstructs sunlight, consequently diminishing solar energy absorption. Comprehensive cleaning protocols are essential to optimise solar energy production.
   

Energy cost reduction

• Increased solar energy generation directly correlates with potential savings on energy expenditures.
   

Mitigating hotspot creation

• Eliminating soiling can remove the cause of hotspots by localised heating, which impacts revenue and increases the risk of fire.
   

Prioritisation of safety

• Solar panels are often situated at height on rooftops, which presents inherent safety risks if attempted without specialised equipment and expertise.
