About this service
You spent thousands on solar panels. The installer said they would save you money every month. And they did, at first. But now your energy bill is creeping up again and you cannot figure out why. Nobody told you the panels need cleaning. The installer probably mentioned it once in a stack of paperwork you signed on closing day and never looked at again.
Look at your roof. See that layer of Oklahoma dust, pollen, and the occasional gift from a passing bird? That layer blocks sunlight from hitting the photovoltaic cells underneath. Blocked sunlight means less electricity generated. Less electricity means higher bills and a longer payoff timeline on your solar investment. Panel manufacturers report that dirty panels can lose 15 to 25 percent of their output depending on how much buildup they have. On a 10kW system, that is real money leaving your pocket every month for no reason. Oklahoma is especially rough on panels because we get heavy pollen in the spring, red dust in the summer, and ice storms in winter that leave residue behind when they melt.
We use purified water and soft brushes designed specifically for panel surfaces. No harsh chemicals that could degrade the anti-reflective coating your panels came with. No high-pressure spray that could crack the tempered glass or damage the rubber seals around each panel. We clean the surface, clear debris from around the edges where leaves and dirt collect, and check for any visible damage while we are up there. If we see a cracked panel or a seal that looks compromised, we let you know so you can call your installer before water gets underneath and causes a bigger problem.
Most residential solar systems take about an hour to clean. You will see the difference on your next electric bill. We recommend cleaning twice a year in the OKC metro area. Once in spring after pollen season dumps yellow dust on everything. Once in fall after the summer wind storms settle down. That schedule keeps your panels running at full capacity year-round and protects the investment you already made. We service solar installations across Edmond, Oklahoma City, Norman, Yukon, and Mustang. Call or text (580) 649-9585 and we will get your cleaning scheduled. Most jobs can be booked within the week. We are insured and every cleaning comes with our satisfaction guarantee. If you are not happy with the result, we come back. Most people pair their solar panel cleaning with a window cleaning visit to get both done at once.
