Solar Panel Cleaning That Pays for Itself
Dirty panels quietly throw away the power you installed them to capture. We rinse them back to full output with pure water — no brushes, no detergents, no boots on your roof.
It Rarely Rains Here. Your Panels Know It.
Southern California's sunshine is why you bought solar — and why nothing ever washes the dirt off.
Between rare rains, dust, pollen, smog film, and bird droppings accumulate on the glass for months at a stretch. The losses are quiet but real: soiling commonly cuts output 5–25% on dirty arrays, and you never see it because production declines gradually instead of failing outright.
Bird droppings are the worst offender. On string-inverter systems, partial shading hits disproportionately hard — a few droppings on one panel can drag down the output of the entire string it's wired to. A handful of dirty spots can cost far more than their share of the array.
Pure Water. Nothing Else Touches the Glass.
Solar glass is precision equipment. We clean it like precision equipment.
- Non-abrasive purified deionized water rinse — every mineral stripped out, so nothing is left behind to film the glass.
- No detergents — no chemical residue on the panels or in the runoff.
- Safe for seals and anti-reflective coatings — the gentle rinse protects the parts of a panel that fail first.
- No foot traffic on the roof or the array racking — no cracked tiles, no stressed mounts, no microcracked cells.
From One Rooftop to a Whole Portfolio
Orange County is one of the densest residential solar markets in California — and almost none of it gets cleaned.
HOA communities and commercial portfolios are welcome: we can put dozens of arrays on a single recurring schedule with one point of contact.
- Residential rooftops — including steep and tile roofs nobody should climb.
- Commercial arrays — warehouses, offices, and retail with rooftop systems.
- Solar carports — high, angled, and awkward for any ground crew.
- Ground-mount systems and solar farms — acres of glass cleaned in continuous passes.
How Often Should Panels Be Cleaned?
For most Orange County arrays, 2–4 cleanings per year keeps soiling losses near zero. Step up the frequency if your panels sit near agriculture, a freeway, or the coast — dust, brake particulate, and salt film all accumulate faster there.
A recurring maintenance plan is the easy answer: we track the schedule, you keep the output. See maintenance plan pricing →
