Pricing & quotesWhat does solar panel cleaning cost?
Our standard rate starts at €175 incl. VAT from 5 solar panels for residential customers. For businesses and property portfolios, prices start from €499 excl. VAT, including full project set-up. Contact us for a tailor-made quote.
Pricing & quotesIs a quote free and non-binding?
Yes. We prepare a free, tailored quote based on your installation. You are under no obligation and there are no administration fees.
Pricing & quotesAre there travel costs?
Within a 15 km radius of Geraardsbergen we do not charge any travel costs. Beyond that, a limited fee may apply — this is always stated clearly in your quote in advance.
Pricing & quotesHow does invoicing and payment work?
After completion you receive a digital invoice with VAT details. Payment is made by bank transfer within the term stated on the invoice. For recurring maintenance contracts, we use fixed periodic invoicing.
CleaningDo you use chemicals?
No. We work exclusively with pure, demineralised osmosis water — 100% eco-friendly and safe for your panels. No limescale residue or streaks remain after drying.
CleaningHow long does a cleaning take?
A standard residential installation is usually finished within 45–60 minutes. We clean up to 10,000 m² per day.
CleaningWhat's the difference with traditional cleaning?
Drone cleaning is safer (no climbing work or aerial work platform), faster and treats panels without mechanical contact — so there's less risk of micro-scratches. Nobody needs to get on your roof and no heavy equipment is required around the building.
CleaningHow often should I have my panels cleaned?
In general, every installation benefits from an annual cleaning as part of routine maintenance. For agricultural sites, industry or busy traffic routes, we recommend 2 cleanings per year.
CleaningCan you clean other surfaces too?
Yes. Our method also works for roofs, facades, verandas, warehouses, garden sheds and other hard-to-reach surfaces. Contact us with a short description or a few photos and we'll review the options.
CleaningDo I need to prepare anything myself?
Usually not. We only need a flat set-up area and access to a water and/or electricity connection. We arrive at the agreed time and bring all the equipment ourselves.
CleaningDo you also work in rain or wind?
Safety comes first. We monitor wind, precipitation and visibility right up until the flight. In unfavourable conditions, we reschedule the job free of charge to a safer moment.
Inspections & reportingDo I receive a report?
Yes. Every job concludes with a professional report including before-and-after images and recommendations.
Inspections & reportingWhat inspections do you carry out?
Roof and facade inspections, industrial installations, solar panels, wind turbines, bridges and infrastructure. We combine high-resolution RGB imagery with thermography where it adds value.
Inspections & reportingWhat can I see in a thermographic inspection?
Thermography captures temperature differences, revealing hotspots, defective cells, moisture ingress and insulation loss — problems that aren't visible to the naked eye.
Inspections & reportingHow quickly do I receive the images and report?
As standard, we deliver within a few working days after completion. For urgent cases or damage claims, we can arrange an accelerated delivery.
Safety & regulationsAre you insured?
Yes, fully. We hold liability insurance in line with European and Belgian regulations for drone operations. Certificates are available on simple request.
Safety & regulationsDo you hold the right certifications?
Our pilots hold a valid EU drone licence (Open A1-A3 and A2) and operate in the specific category (STS-01 / PDRA). For every mission outside the standard category, we carry out a SORA risk assessment.
Safety & regulationsDo you fly in built-up areas or near airports?
Yes, subject to prior authorisation, a risk assessment and — if required — coordination with the local authority or air traffic control. We arrange the permits and formalities for you.
Safety & regulationsHow do you handle privacy and GDPR?
All footage is stored securely, used only for the purpose of the assignment, and retained within the agreed period. People, number plates and neighbouring properties are anonymised on request.
Safety & regulationsIs there a risk of damage to my roof or panels?
Our method is contactless: no weight or mechanical pressure is applied to your roof or panels. We use adjusted water pressure and inspect the installation beforehand for any existing defects.
Process & planningIn which regions are you active?
We serve the whole of Belgium, with a base in Geraardsbergen. Beyond a 15 km radius, travel costs may apply.
Process & planningHow quickly can you be on site?
For standard assignments we typically schedule within 1 to 2 weeks. For urgent situations, we'll discuss whether a faster follow-up is possible.
Process & planningDo I need to be present during the job?
Not necessarily, as long as we have access to the set-up area with a water and/or electricity connection. Many clients do choose to be present when the images are delivered.
Process & planningDo you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. For businesses, property managers and solar farms, we set up periodic maintenance plans with fixed rates, scheduled interventions and annual reporting.
