Cleaning a roof-mounted array with a water-fed pole and deionized pure water.
Which method fits your panels?
Solar glass is cleaned differently from windows and roofs. Pick what you see on your system.
Dust, pollen and light film
Method
Pre-wet with deionized pure water, brush in overlapping passes from the top edge down, then rinse until the water sheets off clean.
Equipment
Water-fed carbon pole with a soft-bristle brush head and deionized pure water.
We avoid
Pressure washers, abrasive pads and tap water that leaves mineral spots.
Bird droppings and baked-on grime
Method
Soften with deionized pure water first, loosen with short gentle brush passes and repeat instead of scraping.
Equipment
Water-fed pole with a soft-bristle brush.
We avoid
Scraping dry residue or using metal tools on the glass.
Frames, edges and rails
Method
Brush along the frame and edges where dirt collects, then rinse so debris does not dry back onto the glass.
Equipment
The same water-fed pole, brush angled to the frame.
We avoid
Forcing water under the frame at high pressure.
Shingles around the array
Method
We clean the panels only. Roof soft washing is a separate service done at low pressure.
Equipment
Low-pressure soft-wash pump, only when you book roof cleaning.
We avoid
Pressure washing shingles, which strips granules.
Tall or hard-to-reach arrays
Method
Reach from the ground or the roof edge with the extendable pole. Second-story access is quoted separately.
Equipment
Extendable water-fed pole and fall-safe access.
We avoid
Walking or kneeling on the panels.

Why solar panels get dirty in Tampa Bay
Tampa Bay is humid, rainy in summer and full of pollen in spring. Rain rinses some of it away, but rarely all of it.
Pollen, oak and pine debris
Spring pollen and tree debris settle on the glass and build up along the lower edge of each panel.
Brushed off with deionized pure water, from the top edge down.
Bird droppings
Droppings bake onto the glass in the Florida sun.
Softened with pure water first and loosened with gentle passes, never scraped.
Mineral spots and salt
Sprinkler overspray dries into mineral spots, and homes near the coast collect a salt film.
Deionized pure water rinses the glass without leaving new spots.
Clean glass, no promises about energy
A film on the glass blocks some sunlight. How much depends on your system, so we do not promise energy gains. We promise clean glass, cleaned the gentle way: a soft-bristle brush and deionized pure water, never a pressure washer or abrasives.

Questions about solar panel cleaning in Tampa
Do you use a pressure washer on solar panels?
No. We use a water-fed pole with a soft-bristle brush and deionized pure water, because high pressure can scratch glass and push water into seals.
Will cleaning damage my panels or void the warranty?
Soft brushing with deionized pure water is a gentle method widely used for solar glass. Warranty terms vary by manufacturer, so check your documentation and tell us if your maker has specific rules.
Will clean panels produce more energy?
We do not promise energy gains. A film on the glass blocks some sunlight, but how much depends on your system.
Do you clean panels on two-story homes?
Yes, with second-story access quoted separately. Residential solar cleaning covers one-story and accessible roofs.
Do I need to be home?
Usually not, if we can reach the panels from outside. We confirm access when you book.
How much does solar panel cleaning cost?
Residential solar panel cleaning starts at $125. The price depends on the number of panels, the roof and the height, and we confirm it before any work starts.
