What is included
Fine sand, humidity and bird droppings form a film on panels within weeks in Dubai, and a dirty panel produces less power. We wash with purified water because hard mains water dries to limescale spots, work in the cooler hours while the glass is not hot, and report loose fixings or damage we find on the roof.
- Visual check of panels, frames, fixings and visible cabling before washing
- Loose dust lifted with soft brushes
- Wash with purified water through a water fed pole
- Bird droppings and stuck spots loosened by hand
- No abrasive pads and no high pressure jets on the glass
- Early morning or evening visits while the panels are cool
- Roof access planned at the site visit
- Photographs of cracked glass, loose clips or nesting
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Survey and diagnosis. A technician inspects the system or surface, takes readings and photographs, and explains what was found in plain language.
- Written quotation. You receive a written quotation against a defined scope before any work starts. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately.
- Protected, supervised work. The work area is protected and isolated, and the job is carried out by our own technicians under a named supervisor.
- Testing. Every job ends with a measured test suited to the discipline, so the result is a reading and a photograph and not an opinion.
- Report and warranty. The completed report reaches you within the hour. Any failed point is put right free of charge within 48 hours.
A guide to solar panel cleaning intervals
| Location | Common interval | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Near open desert or construction | Every 2 to 4 weeks | Heavy airborne sand |
| Established green community | Every 4 to 8 weeks | Lighter dust, more bird activity |
| Close to the coast | Every 4 to 6 weeks | Salt and humidity bind dust to the glass |
| After a sandstorm or muddy rain | One extra wash | A single event can coat the whole array |

Questions about solar panel cleaning
What does solar panel cleaning include?
Solar panel cleaning for villa rooftops and commercial arrays, using purified water and soft brushes to lift dust without scratching the glass. The work includes visual check of panels, frames, fixings and visible cabling before washing; loose dust lifted with soft brushes; wash with purified water through a water fed pole.
How much does solar panel cleaning cost in Dubai?
We do not publish prices, because no two jobs are the same. The main factors: size and type of the system or surface; present condition and ease of access. Book a site visit: a supervisor from The MELLS looks at the work and you receive a written quotation with a defined scope before anything begins.
Who provides solar panel cleaning in Dubai?
The MELLS provides solar panel cleaning in Dubai. The work is carried out by people The MELLS employs directly, under a named supervisor, 08:00 to 19:00, Monday to Saturday. To arrange it, book a site visit on this page or call +971 58 656 3001.
How long does solar panel cleaning take?
Typically 1 to 2 hours for most villa arrays, and set after survey for commercial roofs. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
Do you clean solar panels in Dubai?
Yes. We clean rooftop and carport arrays on villas and commercial buildings across Dubai. Roof access and the safe working method are assessed at a site visit first.
How often should solar panels be cleaned?
There is no single rule. Many owners clean every four to eight weeks, and more often near open desert or building sites. Your inverter output is the best guide, and we set the interval with you after the first visit.
Can I wash the panels with a garden hose?
Mains water here is hard and dries to mineral spots on warm glass, and cold water on a hot panel can stress it. Working on a roof also carries a real risk of falling, so it is safer left to a trained crew.
Will cleaning affect the panel warranty?
We use soft brushes and purified water, with no abrasive pads or high pressure jets, which is the approach most manufacturers describe. If you have the care instructions for your panels, we follow them.
Do you need to switch the system off?
We follow the shut down steps in your system manual where the manufacturer asks for them, and we never open junction boxes or inverters. Any electrical concern we notice is reported to you for your solar installer.
How do I choose a company for solar panel cleaning in Dubai?
Ask four things: who employs the people who will come, whether the scope is written down before work starts, how the result is checked, and what happens if something is missed. The MELLS uses its own staff, quotes in writing after a site visit, checks every job (a measured test for every job, with photographs before and after) and puts right any failed check free of charge within 48 hours.
