Solar Panel Cleaning
Dust, pollen, and bird droppings cost you real kilowatt-hours. We get them back.
What solar panel cleaning actually looks like.
Solar panels lose 5–25% of their output when they're caked with Colorado dust, pollen, pine sap, and bird droppings. The film is mostly invisible from the ground — but your inverter sees it every day.
We clean panels the way the manufacturers ask you to: deionized pure water, soft brush heads, no detergents, no high-pressure spray. The same pure-water system we use on upper-story windows is exactly what panels need.
Here's exactly how we do it.
- 1
Pre-clean inspection
We check for cracked cells, loose clamps, exposed wiring, and frame damage before any water touches the array — and flag anything you should know about.
- 2
Soft pre-rinse
Pure water rinses loose grit off the glass first so nothing gets dragged across the panels during brushing.
- 3
Soft-brush wash
Carbon-filtered, deionized water through a soft solar-rated brush head lifts pollen, dust, and bird droppings without scratching the anti-reflective coating.
- 4
Pure-water final rinse
Mineral-free water rinses the array and dries on its own with no spots, no streaks, and no soap residue to attract more dirt.
- 5
Walk-through
We confirm the array looks clean from the ground and let you know if we spotted anything worth a closer look from your installer.
What's included.
- Full visual inspection of panels, frames, and visible wiring
- Deionized pure-water wash — no detergents, no high pressure
- Soft solar-rated brush head safe for anti-reflective coatings

Solar Panel Cleaning — FAQ
Will cleaning my panels void the warranty?+
No — most manufacturers explicitly recommend periodic cleaning with deionized water and a soft brush, which is exactly what we use. We avoid the things that DO void warranties: pressure washers, abrasive pads, and detergents.
How often should panels be cleaned?+
Once a year is the sweet spot for most Front-Range homes. Properties under heavy tree cover, near agriculture, or with frequent bird activity benefit from twice a year.
Can't the rain clean them?+
Rain rinses loose dust but bakes pollen, sap, and bird droppings into a hard film. Inverter-monitoring data from cleaned vs. uncleaned arrays typically shows a noticeable jump in output after a proper wash.
