Your commercial solar panels are losing money every day they stay dirty. Dust, debris, and Southern California’s unique environmental challenges can reduce your energy production by 15-25% or more.
When your panels are clean, sunlight reaches every photovoltaic cell without obstruction. You’ll see immediate improvements in energy output, which translates directly to better returns on your solar investment.
Clean panels also last longer. Regular professional maintenance prevents the buildup that can damage anti-reflective coatings and void manufacturer warranties. You’re not just cleaning panels—you’re protecting a system designed to generate revenue for 20-25 years.
All Seasons Window Cleaning Inc. has been serving commercial properties throughout Southern California with specialized solar panel cleaning services. We understand Idyllwild’s unique environmental challenges—from seasonal dust storms to wildfire ash that can coat your panels.
We use only deionized reverse osmosis water and commercial-grade equipment to clean your solar arrays safely and effectively. We’re fully licensed and insured, with OSHA safety certification for boom lift operations on hard-to-reach installations.
Every technician is background-screened and trained in proper solar panel maintenance techniques. We know that your solar investment represents significant capital, and we treat it with the care it deserves.
We start with a comprehensive assessment of your solar installation, noting panel types, mounting systems, and any areas requiring special attention. We use thermal scanning technology to identify potential performance issues before we begin cleaning.
Our cleaning process uses specialized rotating brushes and deionized water systems that remove dirt, dust, pollen, and debris without damaging anti-reflective coatings. We never use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could void your warranty.
After cleaning, we conduct a final inspection and provide you with a detailed report of our findings. If we identify any maintenance issues during the process, we’ll alert you immediately so you can address them before they become costly problems.

Our commercial solar cleaning service includes thorough panel washing, system inspection, and performance monitoring. We work with ground-mount systems, carport installations, and rooftop arrays of any size.
Idyllwild’s mountain location presents unique challenges for solar installations. Higher elevation means more intense UV exposure, while seasonal weather patterns can deposit everything from pine pollen to ash on your panels. Our cleaning schedule recommendations account for these local factors.
We offer flexible service contracts tailored to your facility’s needs, typically recommending cleaning every 3-6 months depending on environmental conditions. Larger installations benefit from our economies of scale, making professional maintenance cost-effective even for utility-scale projects.
Most commercial solar installations in Idyllwild benefit from professional cleaning every 3-6 months. The exact frequency depends on your specific location and environmental factors.
Properties closer to construction zones, agricultural areas, or main roads may need more frequent cleaning due to increased dust exposure. During wildfire season, ash and soot can accumulate quickly, requiring immediate attention to prevent permanent staining.
We typically recommend quarterly cleaning for most commercial installations, with additional services during high-pollen seasons or after significant weather events. We can assess your specific situation and recommend an optimal maintenance schedule.
Professional cleaning using proper methods and materials will not void your warranty—in fact, many manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep warranties valid.
We use only deionized water and soft-bristle brushes specifically designed for solar panel cleaning. Our techniques meet or exceed manufacturer specifications for safe cleaning practices. We never use abrasive materials, harsh chemicals, or high-pressure washing that could damage anti-reflective coatings.
Before starting any project, we review your specific panel manufacturer’s maintenance requirements to ensure complete compliance. Many of our commercial clients actually need our service records to maintain their warranty coverage.
Dirty commercial solar panels typically lose 15-25% of their energy production capacity, though losses can exceed 30% in heavily soiled conditions.
Google’s case study of their 1.5 MW solar facility showed energy output doubled after cleaning panels that hadn’t been maintained for 15 months. Even after just 8 months, cleaning increased output by 36% instantly.
The actual production loss depends on several factors: panel tilt angle, local environmental conditions, and the type of soiling. Bird droppings and sticky residues cause more significant losses than general dust accumulation. Regular professional cleaning prevents these efficiency losses from compounding over time.
For commercial installations, professional cleaning almost always pays for itself through improved energy production and extended equipment life.
A 100kW commercial system losing 20% efficiency due to soiling could lose thousands of dollars in energy production annually. Professional cleaning costs are typically recovered within the first few months through improved output.
Beyond immediate energy gains, regular cleaning prevents long-term damage that could require costly panel replacement. Clean panels also maintain better resale value and help ensure optimal performance throughout the system’s 25+ year lifespan.
Idyllwild’s mountain location creates unique challenges including intense UV exposure, seasonal pollen deposits, and potential wildfire ash contamination.
The area’s elevation means solar panels receive more direct sunlight, which is great for energy production but can also bake dirt and debris onto panel surfaces. Pine pollen during spring months creates sticky residues that attract additional dust and debris.
During wildfire season, ash and soot can travel for miles and settle on solar installations. This fine particulate matter can permanently stain panels if not removed promptly. Our local experience helps us anticipate and address these specific environmental challenges.
Yes, we are OSHA safety certified and equipped to handle solar panel cleaning on steep rooftops, carports, and ground-mount systems of any configuration.
We use professional boom lifts, safety harnesses, and specialized equipment designed for working at height. Our technicians receive ongoing safety training and follow strict protocols for all elevated work.
For particularly challenging installations, we can provide additional insurance coverage and work with your facility’s safety requirements. We’ve successfully cleaned panels on everything from warehouse rooftops to utility-scale ground installations throughout Southern California.
