Solar Panel Cleaning done right in Durham

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

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 Durham 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.

Do you need it yet

Signs it is time in Durham

If any of these look familiar, the buildup is already working on the surface. Waiting makes it harder to remove, not easier.

  • A visible yellow or gray film on the glass
  • Bird droppings or nests around the array
  • Panels sitting under or near tree cover

Questions

Solar Panel Cleaning in Durham, answered

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.
Is the cleaning safe for the warranty?
Yes. We use soft brushes and deionized water, the method panel makers approve.
How often should panels be cleaned?
Once or twice a year suits most Durham arrays, more if you are under heavy pollen or trees.
Will you walk on the panels?
Never. We clean from the edges with extension equipment so nothing bears weight on the glass.
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.

Clayton Pressure Washing has cleaned Durham, the north-west corner of our range, since 2010. Durham sits in Durham County, and we are on these roads most weeks.

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.

Commercial work runs on your schedule, not ours. We can clean before you open or after you close, we carry full insurance and can send a certificate to your property manager, and we are certified through the NC HUB program as a woman-owned business if that matters to your vendor list.
