Deionized-water solar panel cleaning that lifts pollen and soiling so your panels make the power you paid for.
"A very professional crew. They were knowledgeable, prompt careful and attentive."
Solar panel cleaning costs $12.50 per panel ($250 minimum) in the Shoals. Dust, pollen and bird droppings cut output measurably; we rinse with deionized water at low pressure, which leaves no mineral residue and does not risk the panel seals.

The film that builds on your panels — pollen, dust, and the sticky haze Alabama humidity bakes on — doesn't rinse off in the rain. It sits on the glass and quietly throttles how much sunlight gets through, and soiled panels commonly give up 10 to 25 percent of their output.
We clean them the way the panel makers want it done: pure deionized water and soft brushes, no detergents and no pressure on the glass. The DI water dries spot-free, the soiling lifts, and your array goes back to making the power you're paying a loan or a lease on — without anyone risking a fall to do it.
A soiling film cuts production 10–25% with no obvious sign — you just make less power and buy the difference back from the utility.
Shoals pollen and humidity bake a haze onto the glass that a rainstorm smears rather than removes. It takes a proper wash to clear it.
Cleaning your own rooftop panels means a ladder and a wet, slick surface. We bring the reach and the insurance so you never climb up there.
Tap water leaves mineral spots, and the wrong brush or any pressure can scratch coatings or crack the glass. The wrong clean costs more than the dirt.
Spot-free, chemical-free, and safe for the glass and coatings — the professional standard for solar.
Soft brushes and low flow, never a pressure washer on a panel. Your warranty and seals stay intact.
$1M liability, licensed, owner-accountable. Height work over an expensive array is no place for uninsured labor.
Do the panels the same visit as the windows, roof, or gutters — one trip, one invoice.
Solar cleaning is year-round work, but the best time is right after heavy spring pollen and again before peak summer sun, when you want every bit of output. Panel count and roof access drive the schedule, so book ahead for multi-story or larger arrays. 📞 256-415-5279
The same pure-water rig that leaves our window glass spot-free is exactly what panel manufacturers want on their glass.
Reverse osmosis, carbon, and deionization take our water to 0.00 TDS — it dries on the panel without a single mineral spot, no detergents needed.
Rooftop arrays reached from the ladder line or the ground — controlled, light-touch contact instead of someone walking your panels.
Gentle bristles lift the pollen film without scratching coatings — and a pressure washer never gets near the glass, seals, or wiring.
Priced per panel — $12.50/panel residential, $5/panel commercial, $250 minimum. Deionized-water cleaning, no chemicals and no pressure on the glass.

We price your exact home at the walk-round — every part in writing, and you choose what gets done. The calendar's open, and most weeks we can get to your cleaning the same week.
Solar cleaning starts from $250, priced by panel count and roof access. We give you an exact figure in writing at the walk-round.
No — we use pure deionized water and soft brushes, never harsh chemicals or high pressure. That is the method panel manufacturers recommend, and it protects the glass, coatings, and seals.
Rain smears pollen and dust more than it removes them, and it leaves mineral spots as it dries. A deionized-water wash clears the film rain leaves behind.
Soiled panels commonly lose 10 to 25 percent of their production. A cleaning restores most of that, which is why it typically pays for itself in recovered power.
For most Shoals homes, once or twice a year is plenty — usually after spring pollen and before peak summer. Heavy shade, trees, or nearby dust can mean more often.
You do not need to be home. We handle roof-mounted arrays with proper reach equipment and fall protection, so no one from your household is ever on the roof.
Bundle any of these in a single visit and save a trip charge.
