Solar panel cleaning · Lara · Little River · Geelong
Locally owned and run — not a franchise. Dirty panels can quietly lose 5–15% of their output. We clean them properly, show you the price, stick to it, and hand you the proof.
Rough estimate based on your inputs and typical dirty-panel losses — your real quote is fixed and free.
We're new in the Geelong corridor and out to build our name. The first 20 bookings get launch pricing — lock yours in before they're gone.
Your local solar cleaner — not a franchise. You see a fixed price before we start. If we say $199, you pay $199.
Solar panels are "self-cleaning" in theory. In reality, dust off the plains, salt off the bay, pollen and bird mess build a film that blocks light — typically 5–15% of your output, more in dusty or coastal spots. Every day you leave it, right across the Geelong corridor.
A thin film you can barely see shaves output off across a dry Lara summer.
Droppings and growth make hard shaded spots that can knock out whole panel sections.
You never see it on one day. You feel it as a power bill higher than it should be, for years.
Dirty panel in, clean panel out — and the output gauge climbs back to full. Three simple steps.
Typically +10–18% output recovered after a proper clean.
Grab the handle and wipe the grime away. That hazy film is exactly what's quietly stealing your output.
Illustrative — drag the handle. Chris's real before & after photos drop in here.
A local business lives or dies on trust. This is the bloke who'll actually turn up at your place.
Based in Little River, Chris works in the energy sector as a data analyst, so getting the most out of a solar system is right in his wheelhouse.
With years across solar, landscaping, and tree and lawn care, he started Dirty Watts to help local homes claw back the power that dirty panels quietly cost them.
Outside work he's a powerlifting coach and a scuba and freediving instructor. Local, hands on, and genuinely into getting your watts back.
⚠️ Still to add: Chris's real photo and a quote in his own words.
Most jobs pay for themselves in recovered power within a season or two.
For a standard home that just needs a proper clean.
The full job, plus the Dirty Watts Report.
Set-and-forget for coastal, dusty or leafy roofs.
The price you see is the price you pay. Always.
We're on your roof anyway — add a full gutter clean-out to any panel clean and skip a second call-out. Priced upfront and fixed, like everything else.
Panels get dirty again, that's just physics. Lock in a twice-a-year or quarterly clean and we keep your output up without you ever thinking about it. Cheaper per visit, and you never lose power to grime again.

For most homes around Geelong, once or twice a year keeps output strong. Near the coast, the plains, farmland or heavy dust, more often pays off. We can remind you.
Rain rinses loose dust but leaves the sticky film, bird mess and edge grime that actually cost you output. Rinsed isn't washed.
Usually not — as long as we have safe access to your panels and a water tap. We send before-and-after photos so you can see the job done, even if you're at work.
No. We use a pure-water, soft-brush method made for solar glass — no harsh chemicals and no high-pressure blasting that could damage panels.
