Home/Solar Panel Cleaning/Warranty Safe Cleaning
Serving Hesperia and the High DesertPurified water, a soft brush, and feet that never touch a panel. $7 a panel.
Every panel maker publishes cleaning rules, and they all say the same three things: no abrasives, no harsh chemicals, no pressure washers. Most of them also say not to walk on the modules. Our method is built around those rules, which is why the warranty question has a short answer.

Pick one or more. These are real prices, and Tony confirms in writing before any work starts.
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.
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.
$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 for good, nests and droppings hauled away and the area sanitized so the smell goes too, panels and roof cleaned, mesh clipped to the frame so nothing voids your panel warranty, and a 2 year pigeon free warranty in writing.
Why now. Nests only get bigger. The longer the birds stay, the more there is to clean out and haul off, and that's the biggest swing in the price.
What you get. Panels that make what they're rated for, and a look over the whole array for damage, loose wiring and birds while we're up there. $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.
The same class of mesh your builder used, installed and tensioned right. Clearest view and good airflow. Fine for shaded windows.
Heavy vinyl coated polyester, 5x stronger and far more UV stable. Takes desert sun, wind and pets without going brittle.
When a frame is bent, loose or missing corners, new mesh won't sit tight in it. We rebuild the frame to fit your window with new corners and clips, so the screen snaps in and stays. $10 a screen, with either mesh.
What you get. Air in and bugs out, a clearer view from inside, screens that pop in and out easily, and a 2 year warranty on the mesh.
Why now. UV runs about nine months a year up here. Builder mesh goes brittle, then the wind finishes it off.
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.
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.

Deionized water carries no minerals, so it dries with nothing left behind. No soap, no rinse aid, no chemicals that could react with the anti reflective coating.
A soft bristle brush on a water fed pole, worked from the roof edge or the ground. No scrapers, no scouring pads, no pressure washer.
We work from the roof deck beside the array, not on it. Standing on a panel can microcrack cells that still look fine from the ground.
The maintenance sections of the big manufacturers' manuals read almost alike: clean with water and a soft cloth or brush, no abrasive materials, no high pressure, avoid cleaning a hot panel with cold water. Some installers add their own line about not walking on the array. We follow all of it, and we clean early in the morning when panels are cool for the same reason the manuals give.
What voids warranties in practice is damage: cracked glass from a boot, scratched coating from a scrub pad, a corroded connector from a pressure washer forcing water into a junction box. None of those happen with a soft brush and purified water.
Every panel washed row by row and left to dry spot free. Nothing to wipe, because purified water leaves no minerals. We look over the whole array while we are there: loose wiring, lifted flashing, cracked glass, and birds under the panels, which is the single most common problem we find.
If we find something, you get a photo and a plain explanation. If it is birds, pigeon proofing includes the panel wash free, so nothing you paid today is wasted.
$7 a panel, any roof pitch, any panel size. A 20 panel array is $140. Panels are counted from the street or from your solar app, close is fine, and we confirm on site. Book on our website and the first visit is 10% off.
Every 3 months on a plan is 25% off each visit after the first, which is what we suggest for arrays near open desert or sprinklers.

Not the way we do it. Manufacturers ask for water, a soft brush, no abrasives, no chemicals and no pressure washing, and that is our whole method. What voids warranties is damage, and a soft brush with purified water does not cause any.
No. We work from the roof deck beside the array with a water fed pole. Stepping on a module can microcrack cells that still look perfect from the ground.
Tap water up here is hard. It dries into white mineral spots that block light, which is the problem you were trying to fix. Deionized water has nothing in it, so the panel dries clear with nothing to wipe.
No. Soap leaves a film and some cleaners react with anti reflective coatings. Purified water and agitation from the brush lift desert dust and bird droppings without anything else.
Yes, and we look for it on every visit: cracked glass, loose wiring, lifted flashing and birds nesting under the array. You get a photo and a straight answer, not a sales pitch.
Ranch, Classic and Lake estate are here for older and custom homes, so the job shows on a home like yours.
