Solar panel cleaning is essential for maintaining optimal solar system performance. Dust, grime, and environmental pollutants severely impact the efficacy of solar panels. In fact, studies have shown PV panel performance can degrade by 20% or higher without regular cleaning and maintenance. Hydroshine SPC is available to clean rooftop solar panel systems on your home or business, solar carports, and even large ground solar systems. Beyond just a simple cleaning service, our experts perform a visual inspection of the entire solar array to ensure everything is in good working condition.

The manufacturers recommend cleaning your solar panels at least every 6 months depending on the pollution and air quality in your area. For instance, springtime in Florida means a marked drip in efficiency when your panels are coated in pollen. Also leaving close to the coast can have the added effect of salt build-up. For that reason, we offer three different levels of maintenance programs that we can discuss during our initial consultation: Premier Quarterly Cleaning Premier Service is a top-tier quarterly package that provides you with the best value AND the highest power output! Advanced Tri-Annual Cleaning Advanced Service guarantees a minimal drop-off in power output due to dirt build-up and keeps unwanted pests away. Standard Bi-Annual Cleaning Standard Service cleaning ensures that your solar system is functioning properly and keeps your solar panels cranking out those kilowatts. Book your consultation today!

As you may know, the more you walk on a roof the higher your chance of degrading it. We avoid walking on your roof as far as possible to ensure your roof stays in good shape. We use ladders, harnesses, and long brushes to easily reach most solar panels. We also always do a pre- and post-cleaning video review of your setup via high definition drone so that you have a record of maintenance as many solar panel companies require regular maintance to keep you warranty valid.

As far as cleaning goes, you might be surprised to learn that you should avoid putting any cleaning materials or soap on your panels. Although these substances might get your panels looking clean, they create a thin layer of residue that have the same effect as dust or dirt, causing a decrease in overall efficiency. To make matters worse, this layer of residue is in most cases sticky and causes your panels to get dirtier in less time. Solar Panel Manufacturers recommend against using chemicals or detergents to clean your solar panels as these leave behind a sticky microfilm that attracts more dust and grime decreasing their efficiency. Abrasives damage the glass and can even void the warranty of your solar panels. Because of this, we never use any detergents or abrasives to clean solar panels. We only use a soft brush deionized water in our final rinse to ensure your panels are in the best shape they can be for as long as they can be.
