Solar panel cleaning and renewable energy maintenance

Solar panel cleaning is one of the fastest-growing specialist cleaning markets in the UK. Over one million UK homes have solar PV installed, and the commercial and utility-scale solar sector continues to expand. V-TUF supplies cleaning equipment to professional solar panel cleaning contractors, solar farm O&M operators and the window cleaning companies adding solar panel cleaning to their service offer.

The correct method for professional solar panel cleaning is low-pressure water-fed application with approved cleaning chemistry — not standard pressure washing. V-TUF equipment covers both the panel cleaning application and the wider site maintenance needs of solar farms and renewable energy installations including inverter building wash-down, access road maintenance and bird fouling control.
