Why solar panels in Tampa Bay need cleaning

Anything sitting on the glass blocks some of the light that reaches the cells. Around Tampa Bay that means dirt, pollen, bird droppings, dust and general debris.

Our cleaning process is solar-safe, done with a hand brush, a long pole brush, or the motorized rotary one. The cleaning water gets tested with a TDS meter first; TDS is total dissolved solids, basically the mineral content, and minerals are what dry into spots on glass.

More about solar panel cleaning

The health inspection is visual. It can turn up signs of birds or other pests getting under the panels, and bird proofing is a separate service we quote. Alerts on the system, or production that stays low after a clean, are a job for Solar System Diagnostics at $399. That covers the panels, the inverter or microinverters, the monitoring system and the accessible electrical connections.

No flat rate here. Price comes down to panel count, roof height and number of stories, roof pitch and access, how much buildup there is, system size and configuration, and where the property is, and each job gets its own free quote. Choose only the services you need, bundle multiple services together, or upgrade to our Maintenance Programs.

Jazz Peraza's Google review reads "Amazing work they left my panels spotless totally recommended!" and Patrick Linzi's is shorter, "They did a great job cleaning my solar panels".
