Solar Panel Cleaning
Solar panels power your home efficiently when clean and well maintained. Dirt pollen dust bird droppings and environmental grime accumulate over time on solar panels. These build ups reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the photovoltaic cells which lowers energy production. Our Solar Panel Cleaning service helps restore performance and protect your investment.
Why Clean Solar Panels
Cleaning solar panels can increase energy production by 10-25 percent depending on how dirty they have become and based on your environment.
Dirty panels may void warranty terms if maintenance including cleaning is required by the manufacturer.
Clean panels last longer and suffer less wear from debris or build up that traps moisture or causes shading.
Appearance improves. Clean panels help the whole system look well cared for rather than neglected.
Our Solar Panel Cleaning Process
Assessment and Inspection
We inspect your panels to check their tilt, framing, mounting condition, amount of soiling (dust pollen grime etc.), tree cover or bird activity, shade and safety of access.Safety Preparations
We ensure the solar array is powered down or safely isolated as required. All safety equipment is used including harnesses non-slip footwear gloves and fall protection.Gentle Cleaning Agents and Tools
We use soft brushes or deionized water or purified water and gentle cleaning solutions that will not damage glass or frames. We avoid harsh abrasives and avoid high-pressure rinsing that could void warranties or damage panels.Soft Wash or Water Fed Pole Methods
For accessible panels we use water fed poles or soft brushes. For difficult to reach or steep roof panels we employ experienced crews who work with safety measures.Rinsing and Drying
We rinse away soap or cleaner carefully to prevent residues or streaking. We allow panels to dry naturally. If needed we do final wipe or squeegee to avoid water spots.Final Inspection and Recommendations
After cleaning we inspect again to ensure uniform cleanliness. We point out any damage cracked glass loose frames or other issues that need attention. We suggest preventative maintenance like trimming trees cleaning gutters or scheduling regular cleanings.
What to Expect
Increased electrical output fairly soon after cleaning. Savings depend on how soiled the panels were and how often cleaning is done.
Visual improvement. Panels will look brighter cleaner no visible bird droppings or heavy dirt.
Some deposits like mineral streaks or hard stains may require extra care or repeated cleanings.
Cleaning is ideally done in cooler parts of the day early morning or evening to avoid thermal stress on the glass.
How Often to Clean
Many residential arrays benefit from cleaning twice per year especially in dusty or polluted environments.
If your system is in an area with heavy pollen bird activity or near sources of dust or pollution more frequent cleaning may be needed.
If your region gets adequate rain it may reduce how often full cleaning is necessary. Rain helps but does not always remove all grime and stains.
