We use a combination of pure deionized water and a soft, water-fed nylon brush system that is designed specifically for solar panel cleaning. This cleaning regiment removes contaminants, leaving a residue-free shine that uses no chemicals or coatings that could void your warranty or harm your panels.
Yes, we offer comprehensive pest management solar panel systems. We can install critter guards and mesh barriers to prevent birds, squirrels, and other animals from nesting under your panels. For existing infestations, we safely remove nests, clean accumulated droppings, and disinfect the surrounding area.
No, you don't need to be home during our service. As long as we have clear access to your solar panels and an outdoor water source, we can complete the cleaning while you're away. Many of our customers prefer this convenience. We'll provide before and after photos of your system and confirmation when the job is complete. However, if you prefer to be present, we're happy to schedule around your availability.
Absolutely! If you can see soiling on your panels, you are losing a minimum of 5-15% of potential efficiency. If the panel is heavily soiled, like after snowmelt or extended dry periods, you could be losing much more. This quickly translates to dollars lost. Improvements in efficiency also vary by soil level and location. Dust, pollen, bird droppings, and environmental pollutants create a film that blocks sunlight from reaching the photovoltaic cells. Our professional cleaning removes these obstructions, allowing your panels to capture maximum sunlight and convert it to electricity. Many customers see the improvement on their monitoring systems immediately after cleaning.
Deionized water is purified water that has had mineral ions (like calcium, iron, and sodium) removed. We use this specialized water for solar panel cleaning because it leaves no mineral deposits or streaks when it dries. Unlike tap water, which contains minerals that can leave spots and residue on your panels, deionized water dries completely clear, ensuring maximum light transmission. This spot-free cleaning is essential for maintaining optimal solar panel performance.
