Question 1

Does solar panel cleaning actually increase my solar production?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, yes. Dirt, dust, pollen, bird droppings, and air pollution can block sunlight and reduce the amount of energy your system produces. A professional cleaning helps restore clarity and can improve production — especially if it’s been a while since the last cleaning or your panels are exposed to heavy dust, trees, or birds.

Question 2

How often should I get my solar panels cleaned?

Accepted Answer

Most homeowners choose a regular maintenance schedule based on how quickly buildup returns in their area.
A common approach is:
 • once per year for general maintenance
 • twice per year for stronger performance and cleaner panels year-round
Homes with heavier buildup (birds, trees, dust, coastal air) often benefit from more frequent cleanings — but we can recommend the right schedule after the first service.

Question 3

Is it safe to clean solar panels myself?

Accepted Answer

You can, but most homeowners prefer professional cleaning because it’s safer and more effective — especially on multi-story roofs.
Professionals use proper tools and spot-free water methods designed for solar glass, and we avoid anything that can leave residue or cause micro-scratching. Many homeowners hire us simply to avoid roof risk and to make sure it’s done right.

Question 4

Can cleaning damage my panels or void the warranty?

Accepted Answer

When done correctly, solar cleaning is very safe and is generally aligned with manufacturer maintenance recommendations.
The key is using the right method — avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasive tools, or high pressure. Professional solar cleaning is designed specifically to protect the panels and the warranty while removing buildup safely.

Question 5

How much does solar panel cleaning cost for a house?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on the size of the system and roof access (number of panels, height, layout, and how heavy the buildup is).
Most residential cleanings fall into a reasonable range, and we provide quick quotes so homeowners can see pricing up front before committing.
