Solar Panel Cleaning

Panels sit outside year-round collecting dust, pollen, and the fine grime that settles out of the air — buildup that's easy to miss from the ground. We clear it with a soft brush and low-pressure rinse made for glass, not a driveway-strength blast.

What this addresses

  • A visible haze or film across panel glass
  • Dust and pollen settling on low-pitch or ground-mounted arrays
  • Bird droppings or debris concentrated near roof edges and vents

How it works

We rinse and brush each panel with a soft, non-abrasive tool and an extension pole system, working section by section across the array.

Why it's worth doing

  • Clears the film and buildup that accumulates on panel glass over time
  • A gentle, non-abrasive method made for glass rather than roofing or concrete
  • Keeps panels looking as intentional as the rest of the roofline

Frequently asked questions

Can cleaning damage the panels?

We use soft, non-abrasive tools and low pressure made for glass — not the same equipment or pressure used on concrete or roofing.

How often should panels be cleaned?

It depends on your roof's pitch, surrounding trees, and local pollen and dust levels. Ask us for a recommendation specific to your property.

Do you work around the electrical components?

Yes — cleaning is limited to the panel glass and frame itself, not the wiring or electrical hardware.
