From private villas to large commercial installations, every SolVivo visit follows the same professional standard: assess, care, document and report.
Solar is one of the best investments you can make in this climate, but only if it's actually performing. Dust, pollen, bird activity and salt air quietly reduce output every month, and most owners only notice once the savings have already shrunk.
Builds up fast in the dry season, silently cutting output month after month.
A genuinely common issue on rooftop and ground-mounted arrays across the region.
Speeds up surface wear on any property within reach of the coast.
Up to 25% efficiency lost, no warning light, no alert, just a quietly smaller saving.
Every visit is a full care service: we assess, clean, document and report, for residential villas and commercial sites alike, across Central Algarve.
It's also worth remembering that cleaning isn't only about squeezing out extra output. Regular maintenance protects the investment itself. Left alone, panels are at greater risk of damage or needing earlier replacement. Like any expensive investment, proper care is what makes it last as long as it's supposed to.
Every visit starts with a full review, nothing gets cleaned before it's been properly assessed.
Pure water, chemical-free, soft-brush contact designed to protect your panels and your roof.
We photograph the overall array every visit, plus any panel we flag as at risk, individually, as proof.
Born and raised in South Africa, we moved to Portugal in 2020 with nothing established except each other, and the belief we could build something real here. As solar owners ourselves, SolVivo started with a problem close to home: we wanted someone we could trust to properly care for our own system, and when we struggled to find that, we saw the opportunity to build it ourselves.
One builds the relationship. The other gets on the roof. Together, we built SolVivo.
From one-off cleans to annual care plans, with the full inspection, pure-water clean, and complete before/after documentation included on every visit, for residential villas and commercial sites alike.
For hotels, resorts, developments, and commercial rooftops of any scale. The same trusted care, structured for larger sites and contract clients.

See Residential Pricing"First-class service from start to finish. Our panels hadn't been cleaned in six years, Monica and Stuart kept us informed with reminders and gave us a detailed report, cleaning certificate, and before-and-after photos and video. They even spotted an issue we didn't know we had."

"Monica and Stuart visited after our first enquiry, always helpful and attentive, explaining every step in detail and delivering an excellent service from the start. Our panels were quite dirty and came back looking brand new, output increased immediately after the clean."

"A young company already delivering a standout service that builds real trust. I'll be booking with them again."

Rain helps, but it doesn't fully clean them. Loose dust moves; bonded dirt, pollen residue and mineral spotting from the rain itself generally don't. Think about your car after an Algarve rain shower: the loose surface dust may move, but once the water dries you're often left with marks, mineral spots and the dirt that was already bonded to the surface.
No. Many of our clients live abroad. We coordinate with a property manager, keyholder or anyone you trust with access, and your report goes straight to you either way.
Most clients get the best results with Premium Care, our most popular plan: quarterly visits plus one extra callout for those extra dusty or dirty weeks.
