Overview

Softened water, no pressure.

Hard water is a bigger problem for a solar panel wash than dirt is. Minerals in hard water dry into a film on the glass that can hold onto grime as much as the wash removes it. So the water is softened before it touches the panels, and the wash itself is brushes and that softened water. No pressure washer, and no chemicals that could damage the coating.

Pricing starts at $150 a visit, the minimum even if there are only a few panels on the roof. Past that, it is $10 per panel. A steep pitch or a hard-to-reach second story raises the minimum to $200 regardless of panel count, because the roof's complexity is part of the work, not only the number of panels.

One thing we won't do is put a number on what a wash is worth to your electric bill. We don't measure output before and after a visit, so we don't know the actual gain on your roof, and neither does anyone quoting a percentage from a marketing page. What we can tell you is what the wash removes: dust, pollen and the mineral film that builds up between washes. What that is worth in kilowatts depends on your system, your roof and your utility rate.

While we are up there, we check the roof under and around the panels. Moss tends to build up in exactly that spot, because the panels block direct sun and the area stays damp longer, so the roof under panels is often in worse shape than the exposed parts. We wash whatever we can reach, but not every spot under a panel is reachable, and we won't claim to reach the center of every one. Cleaning the roof itself is a separate job, priced as roof cleaning based on its condition.

What's included

In the price — and what isn't.

Included in every visit

  • Gentle panel wash

    Brushes and softened water, with no pressure washer and no chemicals that could damage the coating.

  • Dust and film removed

    Dust, pollen and the mineral film that builds up between washes, lifted off the panel glass.

Process

How we do Solar Panel Cleaning.

  1. 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.

  2. Soften the water

    Water is softened before it touches the panels, so it does not leave the mineral film hard water would.

  3. Wash by brush

    Panels are washed with brushes and that softened water. No pressure washer, and no chemicals that could damage the coating.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

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.

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

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!

How is a solar panel cleaning priced?

A visit has a $150 minimum, then runs $10 per panel. Steep or hard-to-reach roofs start at $200 regardless of panel count, because the roof's complexity sets part of the price, not just how many panels are up there.

Do you work on any roof pitch?

Yes, but steep pitches and hard-to-reach second stories cost more. They start at a higher minimum of $200, because the price follows what the roof actually requires rather than a flat rate for every roof.

Do you use a pressure washer or chemicals on the panels?

No. Panels are washed with brushes and softened water only. A pressure washer is never used, and neither are chemicals that could damage the panel coating.

Will cleaning increase my panels' output?

We can't give you a number. We don't measure output before and after a visit, so we don't know the gain for your roof. What we can tell you is what the wash removes: dust, pollen and mineral film.

Why do you soften the water?

Because hard water leaves its own mineral film. The minerals dry onto the glass and can hold grime as much as the wash removes it, so the water is softened before it touches the panels.

Do you clean the roof under the panels?

Not as part of the panel wash. We check the roof under and around the panels, where moss tends to build up, but cleaning it is a separate job priced as roof cleaning, based on the roof's condition.
