Solar Panel Cleaning
Soft-brush, pure-water cleaning that clears valley dust, pollen and bird droppings from panels, with no soap, no pressure and no warranty worries.
From $8 Per panel, 16-panel minimum
How we handle solar panel cleaning
Sacramento gets almost no rain from May to October, which means panels bake under a film of dust, ag field grit and pollen for six months. That film blocks light, and many homeowners never notice the drop in output until they compare summer bills.
We clean from the ground or roof edge with soft-bristle brushes and deionized water, the method most panel manufacturers recommend. No detergents, no pressure washers and no walking on the panels. We work early in the morning while panels are cool to avoid thermal shock.
Our process, step by step
- Step 1
Inspect
We check panels, mounts and visible wiring before cleaning.
- Step 2
Brush
Soft brushes with pure water loosen dust and droppings.
- Step 3
Rinse
Deionized water rinses clean and dries without spots.
- Step 4
Report
Photos and notes on anything your installer should look at.
Why it is worth doing right
Clean glass is about more than looks. Here is what you get from a professional visit.
More output
Removing a summer's dust film helps panels capture the light they were rated for.
Warranty-friendly
Pure water and soft brushes follow common manufacturer guidance.
No roof traffic
Poles let us clean most arrays without stepping on shingles.
Early problem spotting
We flag cracked glass, loose clips and nesting birds.

Pure water and soft brushes are the method most manufacturers recommend. We never use pressure washers, abrasive pads or harsh detergents.
We do not install critter guards, but we will photograph any nesting so your installer can quote it.
Winter rain helps, but dry-season dust bakes on and light showers often leave muddy streaks rather than washing panels clean.
