Solar Panel Cleaning

You invested in solar to reduce what you spend on energy. A dirty panel is not just less effective — it can lose up to 25 percent of its output from a single season of dust, pollen, and grime.

The problem

Cleaning panels is not as simple as hosing them off. Tap water leaves mineral deposits that block light transmission just like dust does. Brushes risk scratching the glass or degrading the anti-reflective coating. And sending someone up to walk around creates risk to your panels, your roofing, and your mounting hardware.

Our approach

We use deionized pure water — filtered to remove all minerals — delivered by drone at the right pressure for solar glass. It cleans completely and evaporates without leaving anything behind.

  • Recovers output lost to dust, pollen, and desert grit
  • No mineral residue left on the glass
  • No foot traffic on panels, roofing, or mounts
  • No brushes, so no micro-scratches on the glass

How it works

What to expect from our solar panel cleaning

  1. 01

    Output and soiling review

    We assess how much dust, pollen, and grime has built up and where soiling is costing you the most production.

  2. 02

    Deionized water preparation

    Water is filtered to remove all minerals so nothing is left on the glass to block light transmission.

  3. 03

    Drone cleaning at safe pressure

    Panels are cleaned from above at a pressure tuned for solar glass — no brushes, no scratching, no foot traffic.

  4. 04

    Residue-free dry

    Pure water evaporates clean, so panels are left clear and ready to produce at full capacity.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much can dirty solar panels reduce output?

A single season of dust, pollen, and grime can cut output by up to 25 percent. Regular cleaning recovers that lost production and shortens the payback period on your system.

Why not just rinse panels with a garden hose?

Tap water leaves mineral deposits that block light just like dust does, and brushes can scratch the glass or degrade the anti-reflective coating. We use deionized water delivered by drone so nothing is left behind and nothing touches the panels but pure water.

Do you walk on the roof or panels to clean them?

No. Cleaning is done by drone from above, so there is no foot traffic on your panels, roofing, or mounting hardware — eliminating the risk of cracked cells or damaged mounts.
