How Do Solar Panels Get Dirty?
No matter where the solar panels are located on your home’s property they can collect dust, dirt, leaves, and bird droppings.
All of these can result in lower efficiency and eventually cause you more in costs over time since the light cannot get through the grime.
Solar panels located near trees can accumulate more debris than those in other areas since they attract birds and can cause leaves to drop on them. Panels that are flat also have more risk for debris than those that are angled.

Common Solar Panel Cleaning Services Questions & Answers
What does your solar panel cleaning process look like?
We use deionized water (purified water) only. We do not use tap or hard water, as that can create unwanted streaks, spots, and films over your panels.
Before and after every job, we take pictures so that you can see the difference. We rinse the panels with purified water, then scrub them with a soft-bristled brush and soap-water mixture, rinse again with purified water, and dry spot-free.
We always spot check at the end to see if we missed any stubborn crusty spots. Then, we take final pictures.
If you like, we can also add a metal mesh around the perimeter to keep birds off your panels.
Are you insured and bonded?
Yes, we are a licensed contractor in the state of California, bonded and fully insured.
Do you guarantee your own work?
Absolutely. If there is ever any problem with our work, we will work with you to fix it as quickly as possible.
How long does a solar panel cleaning service take?
This depends greatly on how many solar panels you have. Typically it can take 1-3 hours panels for residential jobs.
Commercial cleanings usually take longer since there are more panels to be cleaned.
Are certain kinds of panels harder to clean than others?
Not necessarily. Steeper roofs make cleaning more difficult, but our technicians are trained for any and all angles and pitches of your roof.
How often do you recommend getting solar panels cleaned?
Two times a year at a minimum extends the life and efficiency of your solar panels notably. They are exposed to all the elements, including bird droppings, and those elements get baked in the sun on your panels.
Why can’t I DIY my own solar panel cleaning?
You need the right brushes to get the stubborn gunk off your panels. It’s also critical that you don’t use hard water on your panels, as water spots are common (without the right water) and create layers of crusty water, leading to inefficient panels.
Also, many are injured trying to clean their own panels.
My solar panel company told me that I never need my panels cleaned. Is that true?
This is 100% NOT true. Your panels will work less and less efficiently the longer they go without cleaning and maintenance. Panel owners will see instant results in panel efficiency after a cleaning.
Should I be concerned about birds and pests under the panels?
Yes, birds especially will nest between panels and your roof. Also debris can easily build up underneath the panels.
Adding the metal mesh is also inexpensive and will protect underneath your panels from pests and debris. We use premium metal mesh material that lasts and looks great, and it won’t fade or chip over time.
