Solar Scrubbers has successfully completed a large-scale solar panel cleaning and bird proofing project at Riverbend Primary School in Wodonga, helping the school maximise its solar energy output while protecting its investment for the long term.

The school, which installed a 50kW rooftop solar system in 2021, had reported a noticeable drop in energy production. A thermal imaging inspection revealed significant dirt build-up and evidence of nesting pigeons beneath the panels — a common issue across the region, especially in high-roofed buildings.

“Our team was proud to step in and assist,” said Solar Scrubbers owner and lead technician, Michael. “We carried out a thorough clean using our purified water system, safely removed debris, and installed a discreet bird-proof mesh barrier to stop future nesting. The difference in energy output was immediate.”

Riverbend Primary School’s facilities manager, Joanne Taylor, praised the professional service:

“Solar Scrubbers were efficient, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. Not only did they clean and secure our panels, but they also educated us on how regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of our system. We’re already seeing improved performance.”

Solar Scrubbers continues to provide residential and commercial cleaning services across Albury Wodonga and the wider Murray Valley, with a focus on solar panel care, gutter and window cleaning, pressure washing, and more.
