About us

SC Solar Services can effectively, safely and efficiently clean almost any array, in any layout or location.

SC Solar Services was developed in 2022 as a sister company to SK Poultry Services, who have served the UK poultry industry for 10 years, providing equipment and consumables as well as specialist fumigation and disinfection services.

An industry wide issue was identified when talking to our friends and customers in being able to properly clean solar arrays on agricultural sites safely and without risk to the equipment, site and biosecurity.   Access has always been an issue, with people walking on roofs and exposed to manual handling risks while spending days on end manually cleaning arrays.  With another group company, CDM Risk Check, we looked at the bigger picture with both sets of expertise and set out to find a solution.

Some intense debate and research led us to Europe for a reliable and effective robotic cleaner, that could be controlled remotely by an operator without going on the roof, but with minimal risks of slipping on the glass or falling from roof edges.  A tracked spider lift was found which collapses down to 800mm wide for accessibility to most places while lifting up to 17m in height. 

 

Since early Spring 2023 SC Solar have cleaned arrays of all shapes and sizes across the UK, on poultry sheds, grain stores, pack houses, processing plants and large ground arrays.  We have even developed a better way to clean commercial glasshouses, without walking on the roof as it has always been done previously.  Watch this space for further developments!
