Across California, New York, Texas & Florida
Your solar panels are probably losing more output than you realise. Dust, bird droppings, pollen, and grime build up gradually and quietly cut into the energy your system generates. Most people don't notice until they check the numbers. We clean panels across four states using methods that are safe for the glass and won't affect your warranty.
Dust, grime, bird droppings, and pollen don't just sit on the surface. They block sunlight from reaching the cells underneath, which means your panels produce less power than they should. Studies consistently show that soiled panels can lose between 15 and 25 percent of their output. In hot, dry states that figure can be even higher. The longer you leave it, the more energy - and money - you're giving away.
Your home system likely runs quietly in the background and most people never think to clean the panels. In dusty or coastal environments, a yearly clean can make a real difference to what you're generating.
Larger arrays mean more panels to lose efficiency and more revenue impact when they're dirty. We schedule commercial cleans around your operation with minimal disruption.
De-ionised water fed through soft brushes. No chemicals, no residue, no spots. The panel surface stays intact and the warranty stays valid.
Bird mess is one of the worst culprits for blocking light and reducing output. It's also acidic enough to cause surface damage if left. We remove it completely without scratching the glass.
A lot of solar panel owners don't think about cleaning until they notice their bills creeping up or their monitoring app showing lower output than expected. Here's why people call us.
Pure water and soft brushes only. The kind of clean your panel manufacturer actually recommends.
Panels caked in dust or pollen can lose 15–25% efficiency. A clean restores what you've been missing.
Fully insured technicians who work safely at height and understand solar equipment.
You'll know exactly what it costs before we start. No surprises on the invoice.
Our teams cover the states where solar really earns its keep — and where dirty panels cost you the most. If you're in California, New York, Texas, or Florida, we can help.
We follow a consistent process on every job. No improvising, no guessing. Here's exactly what happens when we arrive:
The whole process is straightforward and we don't leave until you're happy with the result.
Each state has its own set of challenges when it comes to keeping panels clean. Here's what you're dealing with where you are.
California is one of the best states in the country for solar generation - which also makes dirty panels more costly here than almost anywhere else. Dust accumulates fast in the Central Valley, and wildfire ash season can coat a whole array in a matter of days. Coastal properties near Los Angeles and San Diego deal with salt deposits from marine air and hard water residue from sprinkler systems. We clean panels regularly across Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento, San Jose, and Fresno.
New York's spring pollen season hits panels hard - especially in suburban areas with heavy tree cover. Urban grime and pollution in New York City and its surrounds builds up year-round. Winter brings its own problem: once ice and snow melt, they often leave a film of mineral residue behind. We cover New York City, Buffalo, Albany, Rochester, and Long Island, including both residential rooftops and rural ground-mounted systems.
Texas is tough on solar panels. Dust storms roll through West Texas and carry fine grit that settles into every surface. Cedar and oak pollen season creates a yellow-green film that dulls output significantly. Agricultural dust in rural areas is a constant issue, and hard water from irrigation can leave heavy mineral deposits on panels near fields. We service Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and Fort Worth, handling everything from small residential arrays to large commercial installations.
Florida's combination of salt air, humidity, and intense heat creates perfect conditions for mould, algae, and salt deposits to take hold on solar panels. Coastal properties in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Tampa are especially vulnerable. Post-storm debris after hurricane season can scratch and soil panels in a single event. We cover Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Fort Lauderdale, and we understand what Florida's climate does to a solar array.
No vague promises. Here's exactly what you get on every visit.
Residential and commercial jobs are different. Here's how we handle each.
Most home systems sit on a pitched roof, which means working safely at height. Our technicians are trained for exactly this. We access panels carefully, work methodically across each row, and leave the roof exactly as we found it. You don't need to be home, and the whole job is usually done within a couple of hours.
Ground-mounted panels are generally easier to access but often cover a much larger area. Commercial rooftop and industrial solar arrays require scheduling around business operations. We discuss logistics before every commercial job and work at times that cause minimum disruption. Invoicing is available for business accounts.
It depends on where you are. In dusty, dry environments like inland California or West Texas, once every six months is a sensible minimum. In coastal Florida or New York, once a year is often fine unless you've had a storm or a particularly bad pollen season. The honest answer is: check your generation monitoring. If output has dropped noticeably and there's no technical explanation, dirty panels are usually the first thing to look at.
Commercial systems that are expected to perform consistently tend to benefit from quarterly checks. One missed clean can mean weeks of reduced output across a large array.
It's tempting to grab a hose and go. But tap water leaves mineral deposits that can actually make things worse. Abrasive cloths or scrubbing brushes scratch the anti-reflective coating on the glass surface, which permanently reduces output. Using the wrong cleaning solution can void your warranty outright.
There's also the safety side. Wet panels on a pitched roof with no fall arrest equipment is a genuine hazard. Roof injuries from DIY cleaning happen more than people expect. It's not worth the risk when a professional clean is straightforward and not expensive.
We don't have before-and-after photos for every job, but here are three situations we've dealt with recently.
A homeowner noticed their app showing a steady drop in output over three months during summer. After we cleaned the array, the panels hadn't been touched in over a year and were covered in a thick layer of dust and bird mess. Generation figures came back up noticeably within the first week after the clean.
A coastal property had hard water staining and salt deposits from the marine environment. The panels looked faintly white rather than dark. Standard rinsing wasn't shifting it. We used a de-ionised pre-soak and soft brush treatment that lifted the deposits cleanly without touching the coatings.
After a storm system came through, a Tampa homeowner found the panels covered in debris, leaf stain, and what looked like algae growth from pooled water. We cleared it completely in one visit. The owner mentioned they'd been putting it off for weeks worrying about the cost - the actual quote came in well under what they'd expected.
We quote based on the number of panels, how accessible they are, and the type of installation - residential rooftop, ground-mounted, or commercial array. We don't charge per panel for small residential jobs; we'll usually give you a single price for the whole system. For larger commercial arrays, we price per visit or on a service contract basis depending on frequency.
Every quote is given upfront, usually over the phone in a few minutes, before we commit to a date. The price you're quoted is the price you pay. No add-ons on the day, no charge for the assessment.
If you're not sure how many panels you have or what kind of system it is, that's fine - just call us and describe the property. We'll work it out with you.
A few recent reviews from homeowners and businesses across our service area.
"I'd been watching my solar output slowly drop and assumed it was a panel issue. Turned out they just needed a proper clean. The team from Matty sorted it out quickly, no fuss, and the difference showed up in my monitoring app within a few days. Straightforward service, good price."

Los Angeles, California
"Had our commercial array cleaned for the first time in two years. It took longer than a residential job obviously, but they scheduled it early morning before our staff arrived and were done before opening. No disruption at all. We've set up a quarterly schedule with them now."
Marcus T.
Dallas, Texas
"Salt deposits from living near the coast had built up badly on our panels. A neighbour tried cleaning his own and scratched them. These guys used a proper pure water system and they came out spotless. Highly recommend using a professional rather than risking it yourself."
