Dust & pollen
Airborne dust and seasonal pollen can leave a film across the glass. Cleaning removes this surface buildup.
Need A Hand Services · Portland metro
Pollen, dust, and bird droppings belong off your panels. Give your solar array a clean start with careful surface cleaning from your local exterior-care team.
A clearer surface
Rain does not always remove the buildup that settles on solar glass. We clean the panel surface to remove accumulated grime and leave your array looking cared for.

Stubborn spots need attention beyond a passing shower. We assess the condition of your panels before confirming the work.
Ask about coordinating solar cleaning with window cleaning or gutter cleaning in the same visit.
Cleaning can reduce surface soiling that blocks light. Any change in energy output depends on the buildup, weather, system condition, and other factors; we do not promise a specific production increase.
Our work, up close

Thoughtful exterior care
Every array is a little different. Panel count, roof pitch, height, access, and existing buildup help us determine the scope of your cleaning.
Solar panel cleaning is a surface-cleaning service. Electrical testing, repairs, panel installation, and roof repairs are outside its scope.
Request your estimate
Simple from the start
Send your address, approximate panel count, and any access details. Photos help us understand the job.
We review your property, discuss the work, and confirm your estimate and appointment.
After the cleaning, ask about a future schedule based on your property's exposure and how quickly buildup returns.
Good questions
Rain can rinse off some loose dust, but it may leave behind bird droppings and other buildup. Whether cleaning is worthwhile depends on your panels' condition and the care guidance for your system.
There is no single interval that fits every home. Nearby trees, pollen, birds, roof access, and manufacturer guidance all matter. Tell us what you are seeing so we can discuss an appropriate visit or recurring exterior-care schedule.
Removing soiling can help more light reach the glass, but a specific energy gain cannot be guaranteed. If production has dropped unexpectedly, have your solar provider assess the system; cleaning does not diagnose electrical or equipment faults.
Your estimate depends on panel count, height, roof pitch, access, and condition. Send us your property details for a quote tailored to your array.
