Residential Solar Panel Cleaning Services

Eco Solar Cleaning is California’s premier residential solar panel cleaning service. Our only priority is safeguarding your home investment in clean energy. While solar panels are engineered for resilience, they are still susceptible to dust, debris, and bird droppings which can impact efficiency. Without regular cleaning and maintenance, solar panel efficiency can suffer and cause homeowners to lose up to 30% of their energy production.

Since your transition to solar was likely motivated by saving on your electric bill, let's ensure those panels work optimally. Solar panels should be regularly cleaned every 2 - 4 months to:

• Maximize energy production
• Extend the lifetime value of your solar system
• Uphold the manufacturer's warranty

Energy produced by your solar panels can be impacted by more than just dirt and grime which is why Eco Solar Cleaning offers a 5-point solar array inspection. 

• We clean the panels using state of the art solar panel cleaning equipment
• We inspect every solar panel for broken or chipped glass
• We check the framework that the panels sit on for warping and corrosion
• We ensure that all fixtures are tightly secured 
• We remove all signs of bird and rodent activity

Solar Panel Cleaning Service Costs

Professional solar panel cleaning is not just about maintaining performance, it's about cost-effectiveness. Typically, the cost of cleaning a photovoltaic (PV) system range from $300 to $635. This price is influenced by several factors including the size of your array and the specifics of your home. While there's a basic charge starting around $100 for smaller systems, extensive arrays could see prices up to $1,100 per service. 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: Homes with a single story usually have lower cleaning costs compared to those with solar arrays on two-story homes. The pitch of your roof and ease of accessibility also plays a role in determining cost.
• 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 augment photovoltaic (PV) production by up to 30% in certain scenarios.

Ensuring your panels are pristine not only boosts their efficiency but also translates to significant savings for you. 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 always 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 cleanse them. With Eco Solar Cleaning, you can be confident in the cleanliness and functionality of your solar investment. Keep your panels shining and efficient!
