Sam's Solar Panel & Roof Maintenance
High Pressure Terracotta Tile Cleaning & Solar Panel Washing in Epping, NSW
Recently, our team completed a full exterior cleaning job for a single-storey home in Epping, NSW, delivering outstanding results through professional high pressure terracotta tile cleaning, solar panel washing, and bird nest removal under solar panels.
This project is a great example of how proper roof and solar maintenance not only improves appearance but also prevents long-term structural and electrical issues.
High Pressure Terracotta Tile Roof Cleaning – Visible Results
Terracotta roof tiles are durable, but over time they accumulate moss, algae, lichen, dirt, and pollution residue. In this Epping property, the tiles had lost their original colour and were holding moisture.
Using controlled high-pressure water cleaning, we:
- Removed deep-set grime and biological growth
- Restored the natural terracotta colour
- Improved roof drainage and airflow
- Enhanced overall street appeal
The attached video clearly shows the before-and-after contrast, with tiles returning to a clean, vibrant finish without damage.
Solar Panel Washing – Restore Efficiency & Performance
Dirty solar panels can significantly reduce energy output. Dust, bird droppings, and roof debris block sunlight and lower efficiency.
As part of this job, we carried out safe solar panel washing, ensuring:
- No abrasive tools or harsh chemicals
- Gentle water pressure to protect panel surfaces
- Improved solar energy absorption
Clean panels mean better performance, higher energy generation, and longer system lifespan.
Bird Nest Under Solar Panels – A Hidden Problem
During inspection, we discovered bird nesting under the solar panels, which is a very common issue in Sydney suburbs like Epping.
If left untreated, bird nests can cause:
- Fire risk from dry nesting materials near wiring
- Blocked drainage leading to roof leaks
- Corrosion and damage to roof structures
- Reduced airflow, causing panels to overheat
- Health risks from bird droppings and parasites
We safely removed the nests and cleaned the affected areas to prevent ongoing issues.
Why Regular Roof & Solar Cleaning Matters
Routine maintenance helps homeowners avoid costly repairs while keeping their property in top condition. For single-storey homes especially, proactive cleaning is a cost-effective way to protect your roof and solar investment.
Benefits include:
- Longer roof tile lifespan
- Improved solar efficiency
- Reduced pest and bird activity
- Cleaner, healthier home environment
