Solar panel cleaning in Germany.

Yes. Solarco is a Belgian company based in Tessenderlo-Ham that works in Germany regularly. North Rhine-Westphalia and the border regions get priority. For projects in Bavaria, Saxony or northern Germany, we plan in clusters so we can work efficiently, with no extra travel costs.

We invoice with Belgian VAT (21%). German companies can offset it in their own VAT return under the reverse charge mechanism. Our invoices include all required intra-community VAT numbers. Private customers pay the Belgian rate.

Cleaning itself is not directly subsidised under the EEG, Germany’s Renewable Energy Sources Act, but it counts as a regular operating cost and is therefore deductible. For many installations, the installer or insurer also requires it by contract to maintain the warranty and performance.

Yes, we already work with several German installers who offer cleaning as a maintenance service. White-label partnerships are possible: ask us about the terms.

Usually 2 to 4 weeks after you accept the quote, and often within 1 to 2 weeks in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate. For states further away, we plan in clusters to work as efficiently as possible. Urgent jobs (an insurance case, a sudden drop in yield) can be carried out within 5 working days.

Homes in urban areas: every 1 to 2 years. Businesses near motorways or in industrial zones: once a year. Farms and coastal regions: twice a year is recommended. Solar parks: 2 to 4 times a year. After every cleaning, you receive advice based on what we find on site.

Yes. After major Saharan dust events, we have express teams available for southern Germany, including Baden-Württemberg. These jobs can be carried out within 5 to 10 days, even without an existing maintenance contract.

Yes. Our reports contain everything German insurers and EEG inspectors expect: before and after photos, thermal images, findings, recommendations, the date and the operator’s name. They are regularly used for warranty claims and annual audits.

We reschedule free of charge. Light rain is not a problem: our robots and operators keep working. In heavy rain, storms or wind above 40 km/h, we move the job to the next suitable day.

Yes, this is one of our core markets. We deploy several autonomous robots in parallel and can clean large installations in days rather than weeks. For parks of 50,000 panels or more, we offer a tailored project quote with dedicated teams and equipment on site.
