This innovative approach ensures maximum panel efficiency and extends the longevity of the clean, up to 10 times longer than conventional methods.

This Saves You Money!
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory estimates that solar panels lose up to 30% of their energy output due to the accumulation of leaves, dirt, dust, and other debris. Our aim is to save every individual client as much as possible. In many cases this means we can save you up to $500+/year or more!* In fact, if you have a 25 panel system and gain 20%, you’ll save approx. $720 per year. For every $1 you spend cleaning your panels, you’ll receive back $5 in increased solar power generated.
Pro Visual and Thermal Imaging Inspection
On every appointment our cleaners perform a full professional visual inspection of your solar system. They will be checking for any degradation, broken panels, disconnected wires, rust, and more. Finally, our cleaners use thermal imaging cameras to check for any failure within the solar cells that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Schedule Your Cleaning!

Have you had solar panels installed for 6 months or more? When you had your solar panels installed did you consider the importance of maintenance? All solar panels are purchased and installed with the understanding that even though the initial costs of the investment are significant, the future savings are well worth the outlay! However, what began as a good intention may have been a waste of your time, effort and ultimately your money. The harsh environmental elements have the ability to rapidly diminish the efficiency of your solar panels. Without regular cleaning, all of these good intentions could potentially be costing you hundreds of dollars! Not only do the manufacturers recommend it, regular solar panel cleaning is a no brainer once you begin to outweigh the costs of the maintenance to the potential financial losses.
We’ve recently cleaned many homes/businesses shortly after a rain and the before pictures are just as bad as we find them in the middle of summer! And our customers routinely report a 15-20% boost in power output after having their solar panels cleaned, even days after it rains.
