Solar Panel Cleaning for Retail

Storefronts and walkways set the tone before a shopper reaches the door.

The problem

What retail deal with

Shoppers decide whether a center is well run before they finish parking. Clean walkways, clear glass, and a lot without stains do most of that work for you.

Leasing agents photograph the walkway and the lot before they photograph anything else. A vacancy that shows badly online stays a vacancy longer, and the carrying cost of one extra empty month is more than a year of keeping the center clean.

Entry glass nobody has claimed responsibility for

Gum and stains on walkways

Faded, dirty storefronts

Grimy parking areas

How we help

Solar Panel Cleaning built for your property

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.

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.

Longer panel life

Clearing buildup helps the array last.

No mineral spots

Deionized water dries clear with no hard-water marks.

Warranty-safe method

Soft brushes and pure water protect the panels and the seals.

More power output

Clean glass lets the panels produce what they should.

Pricing

What it costs

Panel count sets the base and the mounting sets the rest. A ground-mount row we can walk along is the cheap end. A steep two-story roof array is mostly setup time, and the setup is the same whether it is twelve panels or twenty.

Questions

Solar Cleaning for Retail, 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.
When is the best time to clean?
Right after spring pollen season is the highest-value window in the Triangle and Johnston County. A second clean in fall covers leaf and dust buildup.
How much water does this use, and do I pay for it?
We run off your outdoor spigot and a typical house wash uses about as much as a couple of loads of laundry. It shows up on your bill and it is a few dollars.
What if I am not happy with the result?
We come back. Every job carries a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and we would rather fix it than have you tell a neighbor we did not.
