Solar Panel Cleaning, Repair, and Everything In Between
Whatever your system needs, our in-house team can handle it. Here is what we service.
● Panel cleaning: Remove dust, pollen, bird droppings, and wildfire ash that quietly cut your production.
● Repair and troubleshooting: Panels underproducing or an inverter throwing errors? Our electricians find the root cause and fix it.
● Bird and pigeon netting: Stop birds nesting under your array, which leads to droppings, damage, and lost output.
● Cracked tile replacement: We replace broken roof tiles around your mounts to prevent leaks.
● System inspections: A full health check of panels, wiring, mounting, and output to catch small issues before they grow.
● Monitoring and technical support: Help reading your production data and answers to any questions about your system.
Signs Your Panels Need Attention
Solar is low-maintenance, but it is not no-maintenance. It is worth booking a visit when you notice any of these.
● Production is down: A steady drop in output on your app usually means dirt, shading, or a fault.
● Visible dirt or film: Dust, pollen, and hard-water spots build up, especially through the dry Central Valley summer.
● Wildfire ash: Smoke season leaves a fine, stubborn layer that cuts efficiency.
● Birds around your array: Nesting and droppings damage panels and block sunlight.
● Error codes or alerts: Inverter warnings or a system that keeps dropping offline need a professional look.
● It has been over a year: An annual clean and inspection keeps output up and catches problems early.
How Much Does Solar Panel Cleaning Cost?
Cost depends on a few things: the number of panels, your roof height and pitch, how much buildup there is, and whether you add an inspection or any repairs. Rather than a one-size price, we give you a clear quote before any work begins, with no obligation.
Many owners pair a cleaning with an annual inspection, so a single visit keeps the whole system healthy. Ask us for a quote and we will give you a straight number.

FAQs
How much does solar panel cleaning cost?
It depends on your system size, roof access, and how much buildup there is. We give you a clear quote up front with no obligation, and many owners bundle a clean with an annual inspection to save on visits.
How often should I clean my solar panels?
For most Sacramento homes, once a year is enough, with an extra clean after heavy wildfire smoke or a long dusty stretch. If your production drops noticeably, it is worth a look sooner.
Does cleaning really improve output?
Yes. Dust, pollen, ash, and droppings block sunlight and can measurably reduce production. Clean panels simply produce more.
Do you repair systems installed by another company?
Yes. We service and repair residential solar regardless of who originally installed it.
My production dropped. Can you find out why?
That is exactly what our troubleshooting service is for. Our electricians check the panels, wiring, inverter, and output to pinpoint the cause.
Can I just clean the panels myself?
You can rinse off light dust, but climbing on a roof is risky and aggressive cleaning can damage panels or void warranties. A professional visit is safer and more thorough.
