Home/Solar Panel Cleaning/Solar Cleaning Plan
Serving Hesperia and the High DesertHow Often to Clean Solar Panels Up Here
Every 3 months for most High Desert roofs. On a plan that is 25% off each visit after the first, and we text you before every one.
Down the hill, rain rinses panels a few times a winter. Up here we get a handful of storms a year and wind most weeks, so dust builds until someone washes it off. The question is not whether to clean, it is how often, and the honest answer depends on your street.
A schedule by where you live
Every 3 months
Open desert edges of Hesperia, Adelanto, Phelan and Oak Hills, anything next to a dirt road, and any array near sprinklers. Dust and overspray both bake on in a summer.
Twice a year
Established tracts in Victorville, Apple Valley and Spring Valley Lake with paved streets and lawns. Spring after the wind season, fall after the summer heat.
Once a year, at least
Shaded or sheltered arrays. Even these film over by the end of a dry year, and once a year is when we catch birds before they have raised a second brood.
Why the schedule matters
Dust and sprinkler overspray settle into a film that the little rain we get does not move, and summer heat bakes it on. Your solar app is the honest way to judge what it does on your roof: compare a clear day right after a wash with one a couple of months later. We do not promise a number, because it depends on the season, the street and the array. Droppings are a different story: they bake onto the glass and cover cells outright.
The 3 month visit is also when things get caught early. If we notice anything visible, like a cracked panel or birds at the array edge, we point it out. If you have pigeon mesh, the clips and mesh get looked over and the spinners get a spin. Nothing on a roof fixes itself.
What a plan is and what it is not
A plan is a schedule, not a contract. Every 3 months is 25% off each visit after the first, twice a year is 15% off, once a year is the regular price with a reminder. Tony texts you before every visit, you can skip one, and there is nothing to cancel.
At $7 a panel, a 20 panel array is $140 on the first visit and $105 on each plan visit after that. Four visits a year run about $455 instead of $560 booked one at a time. Set your count in the tool above and pick Every 3 months to see your own numbers.
If you have mesh or want it
Pigeon proofing includes the panel wash free on the day, and a year of cleanings can be added: three more washes, every 3 months, at $7 a panel. Each one doubles as a spinner, clip and mesh check, which is exactly when a loose clip gets caught before a bird does.

Pick one or more. These are real prices, and Tony confirms in writing before any work starts.
Window cleaning $149 / $249
The base price covers 10 to 12 windows on a single story or 18 to 20 on a two story. Past that it's more glass, more screens and more tracks to do right, so it's a flat $39 more, single or two story.
One flat $49 for every window inside the house, with the tracks vacuumed and wiped dry. Most companies charge by the window for inside work. We're already there with the water and the tools, so doing the inside costs you far less than a separate visit.
Big custom homes vary a lot. Extra panes and screens are counted on site or from a satellite view, and inside and out can run $499 to $599 on some homes. You get the exact price from Tony before anything starts, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get. More light in every room, a clear view, screens and tracks that slide the way they should, and glass that lasts because hard water never gets the chance to etch it.
Why now. Dust and sprinkler overspray build up fast up here. A cleaning every 3 to 6 months keeps hard water from setting into the glass.
Pigeon proofing $450+
Cheaper crews screw or bolt mesh into the panel frame or the roof. Every hole is a spot for water and a reason for a solar company to deny a warranty claim. Our clips grip the inner lip of the frame, hold in High Desert wind, and come off clean if a panel ever needs service.
Pick one so the price is right. A two story home adds $125.
$450 covers up to 12 panels. Each panel past that means more mesh, more clips, more cleanout under the array and one more panel to wash, so it's $50 a panel. Set your count in the panel box below.
2 to 3 spinners come free. A spinner's flash covers the side of the roof it faces, and a ridge blocks it, so bigger roofs or roofs with birds on both sides usually need one more. Tap "See what the spinners do" to watch it in 3D.
What you get. Birds out from under the panels, nests and droppings hauled away and the area sanitized so the smell goes too, panels washed, mesh clipped to the frame so nothing voids your panel warranty, and a lifetime workmanship warranty on the install, in writing.
Why now. Nests only get bigger. The longer the birds stay, the more there is to clean out, and the more droppings sit on the roof and the wiring.
Solar panel cleaning $7 a panel
What you get. Clean panels, and if we notice anything visible while we're up there, like a cracked panel or birds moving in, we point it out. $7 a panel, dried spot free.
Why now. There's almost no rain up here to rinse panels, so the dust stacks up and your output drops a little more every month.
Window screen repair per screen
Standard insect screening prioritizes airflow and a clearer outward view. We reuse a sound, suitable frame.
All-Weather Solar-Control Mesh is durable, pet-resistant vinyl-coated polyester for additional shading. It can reduce direct solar heat and glare; the denser weave also changes outward visibility, airflow and incoming light.
What you get. Air in and bugs out, a clearer view from inside, screens that pop in and out easily, and the scope explained in writing.
Why now. UV runs about nine months a year up here. Builder mesh goes brittle, then the wind finishes it off.
Hard water removal from $12 a pane
Hard water is minerals bonded to the glass, so each pane is treated and polished by hand, pane by pane. We test one pane free first so you see the result before you decide on the rest.
Roof soft wash from $599
New construction clean from $249
Gutter cleanout quoted on site
Pressure washing quoted on site
Trash bin cleaning quoted on site
Decal and vinyl removal from $129
Graffiti removal from $129
Storefronts and buildings $149 inside and out
When your promos change, we take the old sticker off clean and put the new one up straight while we're there, $10 a sticker. You bring the stickers, we handle the glass.

How to tell it's time
- Windows. Spots when the sun hits the glass, screens that look gray, or more than 6 months since the last clean.
- Solar panels. No wash in the last 6 months, or a sunny day in your solar app reading lower than it used to.
- Pigeons. Birds on the roof, droppings on the tile or driveway, cooing under the panels, or a sharp ammonia smell in the heat. They don't leave on their own.
- Screens. Tears, holes, mesh that bows out of the frame or crumbles when you press it.

Solar cleaning schedule questions
How often should solar panels be cleaned in the High Desert?
Every 3 months for arrays near open desert, dirt roads or sprinklers, twice a year for established tracts with paved streets, and at least once a year for anything sheltered. There is not enough rain up here to count on it.
Does rain clean solar panels?
A hard rain rinses loose dust, but it does not move baked on film or droppings, and it leaves its own mineral spots as it dries. Up here we get so few storms that rain is not a cleaning plan.
How much output does dust really cost?
It depends on the season, the street and the array, so we do not promise a number. Your solar app will show it: compare a clear day right after a wash with one a couple of months later. Droppings matter more than dust, because they bake on and cover cells outright.
What does a plan cost?
$7 a panel on the first visit. Every 3 months is 25% off each visit after that, twice a year is 15% off, once a year is the regular price. No contract, and Tony texts before every visit.
Can I skip a visit?
Yes. The plan is a reminder and a discount, not a commitment. Reply to the text and we move it.
