Overview
Panels, pollen and shade
In Placerville, solar is mostly on the newer construction away from the historic Main Street core, where homes are more likely to fall under California's post-2020 solar requirement. On the older Victorian-era houses and in Diamond Springs, panels are a retrofit.
What collects on them reflects the foothills: pollen, dust, oak and pine debris, and in Camino, orchard dust at harvest. The heavier tree cover also means more shade to account for than in the open valley cities. Between washes a mineral film builds up, which is why we soften the water first, so it does not leave a new film behind.
A steep pitch or a hard-to-reach second story raises the minimum regardless of panel count. We wash everything we can reach and look over the roof around the panels while we are up there.

Process
How we do Solar Panel Cleaning.
-
Panels and roof first
In your estimate request, tell us roughly how many panels there are and what the roof is like. Price is set by panel count and roof complexity, and a person replies with a starting price.
-
Soften the water
Water is softened before it touches the panels, so it does not leave the mineral film hard water would.
-
Wash by brush
Panels are washed with brushes and that softened water. No pressure washer, and no chemicals that could damage the coating.
-
Reach what we can
We wash everything we can reach. Not every spot under a panel is reachable, and we won't claim to reach the center of every one.
-
Check the roof below
The roof under and around the panels is checked while we are up there. Cleaning it is its own job, priced as roof cleaning.
Safety & limits
Safe products, vetted people.
Gentle products
pH-neutral, EPA Safer Choice products by default, matched to each surface.

Local notes
Working in Placerville.
Three distinct areas
A Victorian Main Street core, older and more affordable housing in Diamond Springs, and Camino's rural properties among the Apple Hill orchards.
Old fixtures, open ground
Historic buildings and Diamond Springs homes need care around original fixtures. Camino's orchard-side lots bring more grounds and seasonal debris.
Harvest and tree litter
Foothill oaks and pines shed through the year. In Camino, harvest season adds orchard dust on top.

Reviews
What clients say about Expert Home Cleaners.
The crew was right on time and did a thorough job, leaving everything in my place looking great and taking good care not to disturb anything. Marianna comes every Monday and turns our mess into a home—I wouldn’t give her up for the world.
Very excellent service. The team was on time and easy to reach, and they did a great job on the windows. Friendly crew all around.
The cleaner paid close attention to detail and made sure to focus on the specific areas I asked about. They were on time, friendly, and easy to communicate with throughout the process.
Alina cleans my house every two weeks and does an excellent job. Always. I appreciate the clear communication and consistency. Highly recommend!
My house is absolutely beautiful. I’ve had difficulty being able to clean it to the level that I’m used to and so to have her come in yesterday and just do everything perfectly put me at such a sense of ease I can’t recommend this service any higher
Such a lovely experience . I do not live in the city where the cleaning services were performed. Yaryna was kind, easy to communicate with, clear and responded promptly. The work was outstanding as seen via pictures. Highly recommended this company. Thank you!
Amazing Customer service and my house is perfectly clean! Could not recommend more!
Natalia showed up on time to our cleaning appointment. She was extremely respectful, soft demeanor, and very kind. It's always difficult trusting strangers in our homes, but I felt completely comfortable with having her here. She did an amazing job cleaning, and I will definitely request her return. Thank you so much!
The ladies were very friendly, patient, and hardworking! They did a great job and worked hard to get everything done. I really appreciate their effort and would definitely recommend them!
FAQ
Straight answers.
Something else on your mind? Call or text and a real person answers.
(279) 300-0830Is my Placerville home more likely to have solar if it's newer?
Generally, yes. Newer construction is more likely to fall under California's post-2020 solar requirement than the area's older Victorian and Diamond Springs housing.
Do you pressure wash panels in Placerville?
No. Panels are washed with brushes and softened water, never a pressure washer, so the coating is not damaged.
Do you clean the roof under my panels too?
Not as part of this service. We check the roof under and around the panels while we are up there, but cleaning it is priced separately as roof cleaning.
