Professional Solar Panel Cleaning Services for a Healthier Home

Your solar panels deserve more than a garden hose. Tap water carries minerals that dry on the glass as spots, and rinsing alone does not remove bird droppings, pollen film or the dust that East Bay summers bring, especially in Livermore, Brentwood and other inland towns.

Our process starts with an inspection, then a pre-rinse that lifts loose dust so it is not dragged across the glass. A cleaning solution made for solar panels goes on when needed, the panels are brushed with non-abrasive equipment, and a 0 TDS pure water rinse takes everything away. The panels dry naturally, without towels.

What is included

  • Inspection of panels and the roof area around them
  • Pre-rinse to remove loose dust and reduce friction
  • Professional solar panel cleaning solution when needed
  • Soft, non-abrasive brushing with attention to edges and corners
  • 0 TDS pure water final rinse
  • Natural, spot-free drying

XERO Pure MAX pure water system with a pre-filter, two reverse osmosis membranes and DI resin
Our pure water system

XERO Pure MAX: four stages of filtration, 0 TDS water

Tap water in the East Bay carries calcium, magnesium and silica. When it dries on glass or on a solar panel, those minerals stay behind as spots and film. Our XERO Pure MAX system filters them out before the water ever touches the surface.

  1. 1
    Pre-filterTakes chlorine, chloramine and sediment out of the tap water and protects the membranes.
  2. 2
    Reverse osmosis membrane 1The first of two membranes removes most of the dissolved calcium, magnesium and silica.
  3. 3
    Reverse osmosis membrane 2A second membrane filters the water again. This double filtration is what keeps the output pure all day.
  4. 4
    DI resin polishDeionization removes the last traces of minerals and brings the water to 0 TDS.
  • 0TDS in the rinse water
  • 4filtration stages
  • 40 ftreach from the ground
  • 2poles running at once

Water-fed poles: no ladders on your windows

The pure water runs up a carbon fiber pole to a soft brush. We scrub the glass and the frame from the ground, rinse with 0 TDS water and let it dry on its own. No soap left behind, no squeegee marks, no towels.

  • Reaches about 40 feet, so most two and three story homes are cleaned from the ground
  • Safer for your home and our team than ladders on decks and slopes
  • We check the water with a TDS meter on every job

Step by step

Our 6-step solar panel cleaning process

Gentle on the panels, thorough on the glass, and finished with water that leaves nothing behind.

  1. Step 1 of 6

    Inspection

    We check the panels, the mounting and the type of soil: dust, pollen, bird droppings or mineral film from sprinklers.

  2. Step 2 of 6

    Pre-rinse

    Pure water loosens the dust and debris before anything touches the glass.

  3. Step 3 of 6

    Panel-safe cleaning solution

    When the soil needs it, a solution made for solar glass breaks down bird droppings and film. No harsh chemicals.

  4. Step 4 of 6

    Soft, non-abrasive brushing

    A soft brush on a water-fed pole cleans the glass without scratching the anti-reflective coating.

  5. Step 5 of 6

    0 TDS final rinse

    The XERO system rinses the panels with water at 0 TDS, so no minerals are left to form a haze.

  6. Step 6 of 6

    Natural drying

    The panels dry on their own, spot-free. Nobody walks on them and nothing wipes them.

I still have questions See all 60 answers

Will cleaning increase my energy production?

Removing dust, pollen and bird droppings lets the panels work without dirt blocking sunlight. How much that changes your output depends on how dirty they were and your system, so we do not promise a percentage.

How often should solar panels be cleaned?

Once or twice a year for most homes, more often near dusty roads, farmland or construction.

Why not just hose them off?

Tap water leaves mineral spots as it dries, and rinsing does not remove bonded grime. Pure water and soft brushing do.
