Roof Surfaces

Solar Panels

Moss can grow on solar panels causing them to lose the effectiveness of the solar energy collection.

MRT is perfect to use on solar panels as it avoids the harsh pressure cleaning and it keeps the moss away for an extended period.

We apply the treatment to solar panels as part of the whole roof treatment or separately if only concerned about solar panels.

What to look for after application

2-3 weeks colour change from green to brown/yellow

Dead moss on ground- blown off roof

North facing sides clean quicker than south facing sides

Moss moving down the tiles – piling in areas

First 6 months you will notice little changes on roof

12-18 months is where most of the changes are noticed

- Areas that are more exposed to wind and rain will clean quicker

- Sheltered areas will be dead, but may take longer to be dislodged by the wind and rain

Dead moss will crumble into dust and when washed away it will keep the gutters clean in normal rainfall
