Specialty
Solar Panel Cleaning
Pure water, soft brushes and harnessed technicians to restore output on residential and commercial arrays.
From $149 up to 20 residential panels
Overview
Dust, pollen and bird droppings can cut solar output by 5 to 15 percent in a Michigan summer. Rain does not rinse panels clean on low-pitch roofs, and hard water from a garden hose leaves mineral spots that block light.
We clean with deionized water and non-abrasive brushes that meet manufacturer guidance, so your warranty stays intact. Roof work is done by technicians tied off to anchors or ridge systems, and commercial arrays can be cleaned early morning while panels are cool.
How the work runs

Nine buildings, one invoice and a photo report after every visit. Tenants noticed the glass before I told them we switched vendors.
