Solar Panel Cleaning done right in Durham

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.

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.

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 Durham roof is not worth what it saves. We work from the ground wherever the array allows.

Pricing

What solar panel cleaning costs in Durham

Most residential arrays here fall in a similar band because most residential arrays are a similar size. Where the number moves is access and how long it has been since the last clean, because a first clean after several years is a different job from an annual maintenance wash.

Questions

Solar Panel Cleaning in Durham, answered

Can I just hose them off myself?
You can, and the mineral spots that dry on afterwards block light much like the pollen did. Hose water here carries enough dissolved solids to leave a film. Deionized water dries clear, which is the whole reason we use it.
Does cleaning really boost my Durham panels?
Yes. Pollen and dust cut output, and a clean array recovers that production for Durham homes and businesses.
Does cleaning solar panels actually improve output?
Yes, and the size of the gain depends on how dirty they were. A light dust film costs you a few percent. A full pollen coat or bird fouling over cells costs considerably more, because shading part of a panel affects the whole string.
What time of year should I book?
Any month works, but the two busy stretches are after spring pollen drops and after the leaves finish falling. Book a few weeks ahead of those and you get the day you want.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We are licensed, fully insured, and NC HUB-certified. We will send documentation before the job if you want it.
Local

Why we know Durham

Durham has the oldest housing stock we work on. The neighborhoods around Duke and downtown are painted wood, original brick, and full mature oak canopy, which means shaded walls green up early and gutters fill with more than pine straw. Almost none of it wants pressure. We soft wash the siding, hand-clear the gutters, and keep the wand off anything original.

We have been cleaning Durham, the north-west corner of our range, since 2010. It is in Durham County and it is on our regular run.

Commercial

Solar Panel Cleaning for Durham businesses

Durham commercial work splits three ways. There is the Research Triangle Park side, where it is office and lab buildings judged on entrance glass and walkways. There is downtown and the tobacco district, where restored brick and restaurant patios sit right on the sidewalk. And there is the medical corridor around Duke, where patient entrances hold a standard of their own.

Property managers get the paperwork without chasing it: certificate of insurance, W-9, and the HUB certification number up front. Scheduling works around your hours, and we invoice on terms rather than asking for a card at the door.
