Choosing to equip your home, business, or property with solar panels is a significant investment which given the right circumstances and care can pay off in the long run. While solar panels are sophisticated pieces of equipment which have improved in performance in recent years, they are not a “set it and forget it” product.

If you own solar panels and you’re in search of a true partner to help care for them, our team would love to help. We offer many helpful outdoor cleaning services for individuals and businesses in the East Bay, and solar panel cleaning is one of the things we do best.

Produce Maximum Output

If you have noticed your panels producing less voltage than they have in the past or less than what you expect, it might be because they aren’t collecting as much light as they should. This happens often when the panels are not cleaned regularly, or to the standard of the manufacturer. Over time, solar panels can accumulate hard water buildup, dirt and dust, or debris. When left unchecked, this accumulation can cause the panel to miss out on valuable sunlight, which diminishes their value and your investment. When our team comes out to clean, we remove all obstructions from the panels and allow them to perform their best.

Extend Panel Lifespan

When particles accumulate on solar panels, it not only diminishes their output, it also can cause them to wear out faster. Properly cared for solar panels can last for decades, but they must be cared for per the standards of their manufacturers. Depending on your location, the frequency of your cleaning can vary. The biggest contributing factors to solar panel cleaning frequency are proximity to trees, the climate of your area, and outside factors like proximity to farming or highways. In any case, regular cleaning of your panels allows them to function as intended and can help them last for as long as possible.

Expert Care For Solar Panels

If you have decided to clean your solar panels, it might seem like a simple task which you can do yourself. While some people can clean their own panels, many find it easier, cheaper, more effective, and safer to hire a professional. We have the right equipment, years of experience, and proper training to clean solar panels effectively. Solar panels must be cleaned with certain cleaners, at low pressure, and with extreme care. Without the right supplies and technique, it’s easy to damage panels and/or end up with a subpar cleaning result. In addition, solar panels which are located on top of buildings or at other dangerous locations can present a safety risk for people who are not properly trained. Luckily, we have the right expertise and equipment to take on any cleaning job.
