Based in the North West, Hydrafly delivers drone solar panel cleaning services across the UK for commercial and industrial sites, helping businesses maintain maximum solar efficiency with minimal disruption.
Over time, dirt and debris can reduce solar panel efficiency by 10–30%, directly impacting energy output and return on investment. Regular cleaning can restore performance and increase energy production by up to 30% annually.
Operating under a CAA approved Operational Safety Case (OSC), Hydrafly’s drone systems remove the need for scaffolding or access equipment, providing a safer, faster, and fully compliant solution for hard to reach solar arrays.
This enhanced authorisation allows us to carry out complex cleaning operations efficiently and safely, helping facilities managers and energy operators improve output, reduce downtime, and protect long term system performance.
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 equipped with both high pressure and soft wash capabilities, allowing us to clean solar panels effectively while protecting delicate surfaces.
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 and consistent cleaning solution that helps restore performance and extend panel lifespan.
Increases energy production - Removes dirt and debris that block sunlight, helping restore efficiency.
Reduces long term costs - Improves performance and protects your return on investment.
Protects your investment - supports panel condition and helps maintain warranty requirements.
- 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.
