As our home city, Liverpool is where Hydrafly began, and where we continue to deliver industry leading commercial drone solar panel cleaning services. From large scale rooftop arrays in Speke, Bootle, Kirkby, and Wavertree to major energy and logistics sites across Merseyside, we help businesses maintain maximum solar efficiency with minimal disruption.
Cleaning your solar panels can save you money by increasing energy production by up to 30% annually, as dirt and debris can reduce efficiency by 10–30%.
Operating under a CAA approved Operational Safety Case (OSC), Hydrafly’s drone systems remove the need for scaffolding or rope access offering a safer, faster, and fully compliant alternative for hard-to-reach solar panels. This enhanced authorisation allows us to perform complex operations efficiently and safely, helping facilities managers and energy operators improve output, reduce downtime, and protect long-term ROI.
Drone Solar Panel Cleaning Services
We use a dedicated cleaning agent supplier specialised in solar maintenance.
Our solar cleaning agent is biodegradable and safe to use, specifically designed to work with drones for maximum efficiency.
Our system is fitted with a high pressure or soft wash capabilities for whatever task is required to clean to a high standard.
Our drone is fitted with a specialised adjustable 4k camera to ensure accuracy and efficiency for hard to reach roofs and authorised heights up to 100 meters.
Why cleaning makes a difference?
All services are carried out using compliant drone systems, operated by fully trained pilots under strict safety protocols.
Whether it’s a commercial rooftop installation, warehouse complex, or solar farm, Hydrafly delivers a professional, consistent cleaning solution that restores performance and extends panel lifespan.
Increases energy production: Dirt, dust, pollen, and bird droppings can block sunlight, lowering how much energy your panels generate. Cleaning removes this buildup, restoring lost efficiency
Reduces long-term costs: If your panels are operating at a lower efficiency, you are losing money on potential energy savings or feed in tariff income.
Protects your investment: Regular cleaning can prevent damage like micro-scratches and can be a requirement to maintain your warranty.
- 01Is drone solar panel cleaning safe for commercial installations?
Yes. When carried out correctly, drone assisted cleaning can safely remove dirt and environmental build up from roof-mounted commercial solar PV systems, helping maintain performance while reducing the need for traditional access equipment.
- 02Is drone solar panel cleaning safe for panels installed at height?
Yes. Our drones are fitted with soft wash and high pressure systems calibrated for delicate surfaces. Combined with a biodegradable solar cleaning agent, we ensure pitched roof panels are cleaned thoroughly without causing scratches or damage.
- 03How often should roof solar panels be cleaned?
Frequency depends on environmental factors such as pollution, dust, or nearby trees. Commercial roof installations generally benefit from cleaning every 6–12 months to maintain maximum output and prevent long-term efficiency loss.
- 04What types of commercial roofs and sites do you service in Liverpool?
We clean roof mounted solar arrays primarily focusing on pitched roof structures on warehouses, factories, logistics hubs, office buildings, and solar farms throughout Liverpool, Merseyside and the Northwest region.
