Output falls before anything looks dirty

A visibly clean panel in Dubai can already be losing a meaningful share of its yield to a fine, even dust film that does not read as dirt.

  • Deionised water, no detergent residue
  • Soft brush only, no abrasive contact
  • Output compared before and after

Before anything is quoted

We look at the property before we put a number on it

A price list cannot see your marble, your ducts, or the wall the afternoon sun hits. So we come and look. A senior member of the team surveys the property, and you receive a written quotation the same day, itemised, with what is included and what is not.

No obligation. If we are not the right company for the job we will say so, and tell you who is.

  1. 01

    We look at the property, not a price list. Usually the same day you ask.

  2. 02
    The written quote

    Fixed, itemised, and sent the same day. What is included, and what is not.

  3. 03
    The work

    A named supervisor and a crew you will see again. Our own equipment and materials.

    The walkthrough

    We walk the property with you before the team leaves. Anything not right is dealt with then.

About this service

What is solar panel cleaning and what does it include?

Dubai dust does not need to cover a panel to cost you output. A thin film is enough.

Solar output falls quietly. Fine desert dust settles constantly, and because it settles evenly there is no obvious dirty patch to notice, just a number on the inverter app that is lower than it was and nobody is watching. After a sandstorm it is worse, and organic soiling from birds is worse again because it does not rinse off. The panels still look broadly fine from the ground, which is exactly why this gets left for a year at a time.

We clean with de-ionised water, which has had its minerals stripped out, and soft brushes rated for photovoltaic glass. That matters more than it sounds. Ordinary Dubai tap water is mineral heavy and dries into a spotted film that scatters light and is harder to shift next time, and pressure washing or abrasive pads risk both the anti reflective coating and the seals around the cells, which is where warranty claims get refused. We work from roof access rather than walking on the array wherever the layout allows, inspect for cracking, delamination and hot spots while we are up there, and record output before and after where the inverter is accessible.

Signs you need this service

Inverter output is lower than the same month last year
A visible dust film or streaking across the glass
No cleaning in the last six months
A sandstorm has passed through recently
Bird droppings or organic residue on the array
Construction work nearby throwing dust
Panels are mounted at a low pitch where dust settles fastest
The system was installed and then never touched again

What is included

  • De-ionised pure water wash across glass and frames
  • Soft brush cleaning rated for photovoltaic surfaces
  • Organic soiling and bird residue removed
  • Frame, mounting and fixing visual inspection
  • Panel inspection for cracking, delamination and visible hot spots
  • Junction box and visible cabling check
  • Output reading before and after where inverter access allows
  • Before and after photographs of the array
Good to know. Every three to four months suits most Dubai rooftops, and sooner after a sandstorm or nearby construction.

Benefits of doing it properly

  • Output restored, usually within the same visit
  • No mineral spotting, because no tap water is used
  • Anti reflective coating and cell seals protected
  • Manufacturer warranty conditions respected
  • Panel damage flagged early rather than found at failure
  • No walking on panels where the layout allows access from the edge
  • Photographed record of the array condition
  • Scheduled visits, so it does not get forgotten again

How the process works

01

Roof survey

We look at array size, pitch, access and how the roof is safely reached.

02

Written quote

Fixed and itemised, sent the same day, based on the array rather than a per panel guess.

03

Output reading

Where the inverter is accessible we record the starting figure, so the result is measurable.

04

Pure water clean

De-ionised water and soft brushes, glass and frames, with no abrasives and no pressure washing.

05

Inspection

Panels, frames, fixings and visible cabling checked and anything of concern photographed.

06

Report and schedule

Before and after photographs, output comparison, and a cleaning interval that suits your roof.

Frequently asked questions

How much does solar panel cleaning cost in Dubai?

There is no fixed rate card. Price follows the size and condition of the property, so a senior member of the team surveys it first and you get a written, itemised quotation the same day. The figure on that quotation is the figure you pay.

Who does solar panel cleaning near me in Dubai?

MELLS covers ninety communities across Dubai and works in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah for commercial premises. Message +971 58 656 3001 on WhatsApp with your community and we will confirm availability.

What is the best solar panel cleaning company in Dubai?

Judge any company on three things: whether the team is directly employed or subcontracted, whether the quote is fixed in writing before work starts, and whether a supervisor walks the property with you at the end. MELLS does all three as standard.

How quickly can you start solar panel cleaning?

Survey usually the same day you ask, quotation the same day, and work scheduled within forty eight hours in most cases. Urgent call outs are handled the same day where the team is free.

Is solar panel cleaning safe for children and pets?

Yes. Products are selected for occupied family homes as the default, re entry times are told to you before we leave, and anything stronger is only ever used with your agreement.

How do I get a quote from MELLS?

Message us on WhatsApp on +971 58 656 3001 or call the same number. A senior member of the team surveys the property and you receive a written itemised quotation the same day.

Which areas of the UAE does MELLS cover?

Ninety communities across Dubai for residential work, and Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah for commercial premises.

How much output does dust actually cost?

Enough to be worth the visit. A heavily soiled array in the dry season loses a meaningful share of its rated output, and most of that comes back immediately after a proper clean.

Why not just use a hose?

Dubai tap water is mineral heavy. It dries into a spotted film that scatters light and builds up over time, so each clean gets harder. De-ionised water has the minerals stripped out and dries clear.

Can pressure washing damage panels?

It can. High pressure risks the seals around the cells and the anti reflective coating on the glass, and damage to either is usually excluded from warranty. We do not pressure wash panels.

How often should panels be cleaned in Dubai?

Every three to four months for most rooftops here, and sooner after a sandstorm or if there is construction nearby throwing dust.

Do you walk on the panels?

Not where the layout allows us to reach the array from the edge or a walkway, which is most installations. Where access genuinely requires it we use the manufacturer's specified load paths.
