We clean Triangle-area solar panels with pure water and soft brushes so they make the power you paid for.
Dirty panels make less power. Pollen and dust cut output more than most owners realize. We clean with deionized water and soft brushes, which is gentle on the glass and leaves no mineral spots.
Your Triangle-area panels are an investment, and a film of pollen quietly drops their output. We use pure water and soft brushes so the glass gets clean, the warranty stays intact, and production comes back up.
Panels are self-cleaning right up until they are not. Rain handles light dust. It does not handle pine pollen, bird droppings, or the film that builds up under a tree line. Those are what quietly cost you production.
Cleaning panels yourself usually costs more than it saves. Tap water dries into mineral spots that block as much light as the dirt did, household cleaners can haze the coating, and walking a Triangle-area roof is not worth what it saves. We work from the ground wherever the array allows.
You do not have to guess whether this is worth it, because the array already tells you. Pull last spring's production against this spring's on the app. If the curve has dropped and nothing has changed but time, what is on the glass is the difference.
One shaded or soiled panel drags on the string it sits in, so a couple of bad panels cost more than their share of the array. That is why a bird nest in one corner shows up in the numbers out of all proportion to its size.
The question we get asked most is whether you can just pressure wash them. You should not. A solar panel is glass bonded over a laminate with an anti-reflective coating and a perimeter seal, and pressure is the one thing that finds all three. We wash them with deionized water and soft brushes, at a pressure a garden hose would beat.
Panels lose output when they are dirty, and in the Triangle and Johnston County the loss is mostly pollen in spring and dust film through summer. Neither needs aggressive cleaning to remove. Both need the right water, because tap water dries and leaves the mineral spots that cut light the same way the dirt did.
We clean from the ground with fed-pole systems wherever the roof pitch allows it. Nobody needs to walk on your array to wash it, and the fewer footsteps on a roof carrying panels, the better for the mounts and the flashing.
Any one of these means the buildup has already started working on the surface. The longer it sits, the harder it is to lift.
Clean glass lets the panels produce what they should.
Soft brushes and pure water protect the panels and the seals.
Deionized water dries clear with no hard-water marks.
Clearing buildup helps the array last.
If we spot damage, loose hardware, or new shading, we tell you.
Pure water and soft brushes only, so nothing degrades the coating.
We reach in from the edges. A cracked cell does not always show, and it does not repair.
Clean after the pollen drops and the production curve makes the case for itself.
We wash with soft brushes and low-pressure fed poles. Nothing that can drive water past a seal.
Pure water dries without leaving minerals, so the panel stays clear rather than spotting as it dries.
Fed poles reach most residential arrays, so we keep weight and footsteps off the roof.
Cracked glass, lifted seals, and a mount that has worked loose are all easier to catch clean than dirty.
We confirm access and panel condition.
Deionized water loosens pollen and dust.
We clear the film without scratching the glass.
A pure-water rinse dries spot-free.
Solar cleaning in the Triangle and Johnston County prices per panel, with roof pitch and access as the other two factors. Ground-mount arrays are the cheapest to service. Steep roof arrays cost more because of the setup.
Full coverage on every job, plus NC HUB certification that helps on supplier-diversity contracts.
If it is not right, we come back. No argument and no invoice games.
Plants get watered down before and rinsed after. Fixtures, lights, and outlets get covered. Nothing gets sacrificed to save time.
Brittany and Austin have run this business out of Clayton since 2010. A husband and wife, not a franchise and not a side job.
You get the number up front. It does not move while we are packing up.
You are not handed to a crew that has never spoken to you. One of us is there or one of us sent them and knows your property.
If something is not right, we come back and make it right. That is the whole policy.
Pressure is the one thing a solar array cannot take. The glass is coated, the seals are the weak point, and the repair bill is measured in panels.
Read the guide →SeasonsThe yellow layer that coats everything here from March into May is pine pollen, and washing at the wrong moment means paying to do it twice.
Read the guide →ConcreteRed clay is not dirt sitting on your driveway. It is iron oxide that has soaked into the pores, which is why rinsing does nothing and why the fix is chemical.
Read the guide →We fly the roofline and show you the footage on the spot. You see your own gutters, joints, and downspouts on the screen instead of taking our word for it. It costs nothing and you are not committing to the cleaning.
Free for homes and businesses across the Triangle and Johnston County. No obligation to book any work afterwards.
