FAQs
Solar Panel Cleaning in Lewes: FAQs
Do you provide solar panel cleaning across all of Lewes?
Yes, we cover the BN7 postcode area in full, including Cliffe, Southover, Landport, Nevill, Malling, Wallands.
Does dirt on solar panels really reduce how much electricity they generate?
Yes — a build-up of dust, pollen or bird droppings blocks some light from reaching the cells, which can measurably reduce output, particularly on panels at a low pitch that rain doesn't naturally rinse clean.
How often should solar panels be cleaned?
This depends on location and panel pitch — panels near trees or in a low-pitch position that doesn't get rinsed by rain benefit from more frequent cleaning than a steep, exposed roof. We can advise a sensible frequency when we assess your installation.
How does South Downs National Park status affect building work in Lewes?
Development within the National Park is assessed with particular regard to landscape character and setting, alongside normal planning policy. Combined with the town's conservation area and listed building status, this means early advice is particularly valuable in Lewes.
