Solar Panel Cleaning in Chicago’s North Shore
Clean panels produce more energy — we restore output without risking surface damage.
Clean solar panels produce more energy. Dust, pollen, bird droppings, and tree debris block sunlight and reduce your system’s output over time. Regular cleaning keeps your panels performing the way they should.
We use soft brushes and purified water to clean each panel without scratching the surface or voiding your warranty. No chemicals, no high pressure.
“Responsive, quality work and great communication all-around.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does solar panel cleaning cost?
Cleaning is priced at $13 per panel. Most residential systems have 20 to 30 panels, putting the typical cost between $260 and $390 per cleaning.
How much energy output do dirty solar panels lose?
Studies show that dirty panels lose 15 to 25 percent of their output depending on how much buildup has accumulated. In tree-heavy areas, the loss can be higher due to bird droppings, pollen, and leaf residue blocking cells.
Can I clean solar panels myself with a garden hose?
A garden hose can rinse off loose dust but won’t remove bird droppings, pollen film, or mineral deposits. Hard water from a hose can also leave new spots. Professional cleaning uses purified water and soft brushes for a streak-free result without residue.
How often should solar panels be cleaned?
Once or twice a year is sufficient for most systems. Panels under or near trees need more frequent cleaning due to bird droppings and debris. Checking your system’s output data can help you gauge when cleaning is due.
Will cleaning my solar panels void the warranty?
Our cleaning method (purified water, soft brushes, no chemicals, no pressure) is safe for all major panel brands and does not void warranties. We avoid any contact with wiring or mounting hardware.
