Commercial Solar Panel Cleaning Services

As we move forward to a brighter future, sustainability is a pressing issue that is impacting how businesses in California operate. One of the biggest moves a California business can make in this regard is transitioning to solar energy. Investing in solar can help reduce a business’s energy costs and footprint while also improving their environmental and social reputation. Once that transition has been made, solar panels need regular cleaning and maintenance to operate efficiently. Eco Solar Cleaning is California’s top commercial solar panel cleaning service provider. Our services are designed to safeguard your clean energy investment. Without regular cleaning and maintenance, solar panel efficiency can suffer and cause businesses to lose up to 30% of their energy production.

Solar panels should be regularly cleaned every 2 - 4 months to:

• Optimize energy production
• Increase the lifespan of your solar panel system
• Maintain manufacturer's warranty

What Eco Solar Panel Cleaning Uses

Eco Solar Cleaning uses state of the art solar cleaning tools to protect your commercial solar array:

• Industry Standard Rotating Solar Brushes: These brushes use bristles that are gentle enough to not damage your panels but stiff enough to clean hardened dirt and grime.

• No Harsh Chemical Detergents: Our cleaning solutions are ecofriendly and guaranteed to not cause corrosion.

Solar Panel Cleaning Service Costs

Professional commercial solar panel cleaning is not just about maintaining performance, it's about cost-effectiveness. Typically, the cost of cleaning a commercial photovoltaic (PV) system varies wildly depending on several factors like size of array and access. At Eco Solar Cleaning, we ensure value for every dollar spent by combining top-tier service with the assurance of optimal solar panel performance.

What Factors Affect That Cost?

Determining the cost of cleaning varies based on several factors:



• Location: The region you live in can influence the cleaning costs. This is particularly true for high cost of living areas and areas where panels are more prone to getting dirty.
• Size: More panels mean more surface area to clean which drives up labor costs.
• Accessibility: Businesses with a single story usually have lower cleaning costs compared to those with solar arrays on buildings with 2 or more stories. 
• Frequency: Panels heavily coated in dirt and debris left uncleaned for prolonged periods may require more labor which raises the cleaning price. Regularly cleaned systems are usually more cost-effective in the long run.

Regular Solar Panel Cleaning Increases Panel Efficiency

At Eco Solar Cleaning, we believe in harnessing the sun's energy to its fullest potential. Regular cleaning and inspections are the most economical way to enhance your solar electricity system's output. Our cleaning process has been proven to increase photovoltaic (PV) production by up to 30% in certain scenarios.

Ensuring your commercial solar panels are pristine not only boosts their efficiency but also translates to significant savings for your business. By partnering with Eco Solar Cleaning for routine cleanings, you're investing in optimal system performance and enjoying cost savings.

Factors That Impact Efficiency

Factors influencing solar panel efficiency include:

• Climate: While rain can wash away much of the accumulated dirt, those residing in arid regions might find the need for more regular cleanings.
• Pollution: If you're in a high-smog area, expect to clean your panels more often. Not only does smog deposit grime on the panels, but the ambient haze also curtails the sun's rays.
• Organic Matter: Certain residues like tree sap, bird droppings, and pollen can stubbornly cling to panels. These elements don't easily wash away with rain and often necessitate a specialized cleaning approach.

Why Rain Won’t Cut It When It Comes to Cleaning Your Solar Panels

Many believe rain is nature's way of cleaning, and while it does offer a gentle rinse, it's not enough to keep your solar panels operating at peak efficiency. Think of it this way: If you left your car's windshield unwashed for months, would it remain clear? Most definitely not. Over time, a layer of grime would build up which would drastically reduce visibility. The same thing happens to your solar panels. The level of UV radiation that is able to penetrate that layer of dust drops dramatically. This is exacerbated by a process called cementation. As panels cool during the night, they attract morning dew. This dew combines airborne minerals and dust before drying out and solidifying on the solar panels. Certain deposited minerals become extremely hard to remove after undergoing this cementation process, to the point where even intense rainfalls can't clean them.
