Solar Panel Cleaning in Campo de Ourique
Campo de Ourique is a grid of early twentieth-century buildings, four and five storeys, packed tight, with the odd modern insertion between them. Solar here almost always means collectors or modules on a shared roof reached from the top landing, and the dirt is entirely urban: a fine oily soot from the traffic along Ferreira Borges and Domingos Sequeira, dust from the constant refurbishment work in the quarter, and pigeon droppings from birds that use the parapets and aerials as perches. Because the buildings are all much of a height, roofs also collect whatever the wind lifts off the neighbours. Arranja Já travels in to wash these installations properly and to sort the access with the building.

About our service in Campo de Ourique
Almost every job in this quarter starts with a conversation about the roof rather than about the panels. A collective system, whether solar thermal for the building's hot water or a shared self-consumption array, sits on common property, so the decision belongs to the condomínio and we deal with the building manager over dates, keys and the top-floor access. Where the panels are one household's own, on a private roof terrace or a balcony, you can commission the work yourself, but the route across the building still has to be agreed in advance. We would always rather settle that a week ahead than turn up and find the hatch padlocked. On the roof, the technique is fixed and it does not bend for a stubborn stain. Demineralised water, a soft brush and a controlled pressure, worked patiently over the greasy soot film. No pressure washer, ever: at close range it will find a way past the frame seals and into the wiring void, and it can lift the sealant on the mounting rails as well. No abrasives, no blades, no scouring, because the anti-reflective coating on the glass is the whole point of the module and cannot be replaced. No acid or alkaline products. It also needs saying that a claim under the manufacturer's warranty is easily refused when a panel has been cleaned with the wrong thing. We pick the hour deliberately. A dark roof in Campo de Ourique in the afternoon holds a lot of heat, and cold water landing on hot glass is a thermal shock with a real risk of micro-cracks. Early morning, late afternoon, or a grey day. Afterwards, the frames are wiped, the drainage checked, and the leaves, feathers and grit compacted under the rows pulled out. We look the installation over and report what we saw. If the check turns up cracked glass, delamination, heat marking or a connector that has scorched, you get a photograph and a clear recommendation to bring in your installer or a certified electrician. We do not open the inverter, touch the DC side or remove a module. Cleaners, not electricians.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions building managers and residents in Campo de Ourique ask us:
Can you clean the whole building's collectors in one visit?
That is usually how it works here, and it is the sensible way round: one access arrangement, one team on the roof, all the rows done together. We agree the date with the building manager so residents know when we will be overhead.
There are always works going on nearby. Does building dust matter that much?
It does, because cement and plaster dust is not inert. Once it gets damp it sets on the glass in a way ordinary dust does not, and rinsing alone will not take it off. It is one of the reasons panels in this quarter dirty faster than people expect.
How will I know the cleaning actually achieved anything?
Visually, straight away: the glass reads as glass again rather than as a grey sheet. On the output side we deliberately do not quote figures. Check your own monitoring app before and after in comparable weather and judge it from your own data.
