Dirty solar panels aren’t just an eyesore—they’re costing you serious money. In Southern California’s dusty environment, commercial solar installations lose 15-25% of their energy production capability when soiled. That’s thousands of dollars in lost revenue annually for most commercial operations.
Clean panels mean maximum energy output, extended equipment lifespan, and protected warranty coverage. You invested in solar to save money and reduce environmental impact. Professional cleaning ensures you actually get those benefits instead of watching them disappear under layers of dust, pollen, and agricultural debris.
The difference is immediate and measurable. Most commercial clients see energy production increases of 20% or more after professional cleaning, translating directly to reduced operating costs and faster return on investment.
We understand Banning’s unique environmental challenges for commercial solar installations. Our team has cleaned everything from small commercial rooftops to large agricultural solar arrays throughout the region.
We know how quickly dust accumulates here, especially during summer months and wildfire season. Agricultural operations face additional challenges from soil particles and pollen that create stubborn films on panel surfaces. That’s why we use specialized deionized water systems and industry-leading cleaning equipment designed specifically for commercial-scale operations.
Our local expertise means we understand optimal cleaning schedules for Banning’s climate and can recommend maintenance plans that maximize your energy production year-round.
We start with a comprehensive site assessment and thermal scan to identify any performance issues beyond simple soiling. This helps us document baseline efficiency and spot potential problems early.
Our cleaning process uses only deionized water and soft-bristle brushes specifically designed for photovoltaic surfaces. No harsh chemicals that could damage panels or void warranties. For large installations, we utilize boom lifts and specialized equipment that allows us to clean thousands of panels efficiently and safely.
Every job includes a complete visual inspection of your solar array. We check for loose connections, damaged components, and signs of wear that could affect long-term performance. You get clean panels plus peace of mind that your entire system is operating properly.

Our commercial solar cleaning service includes everything needed to restore and maintain peak panel performance. Beyond basic cleaning, we provide thermal imaging to identify hot spots, complete system inspections, and detailed reporting on your installation’s condition.
Banning’s agricultural environment creates unique challenges. Dust from farming operations, seasonal pollen, and wildfire ash all contribute to accelerated soiling rates. We’ve developed cleaning protocols specifically for these conditions, ensuring thorough removal of even stubborn, cemented debris.
For large commercial installations, we offer flexible scheduling including overnight cleaning for businesses where daytime operations can’t be interrupted. Our maintenance plans include quarterly, bi-annual, and annual options with volume discounts for multi-site operations.
Most commercial installations in Banning benefit from cleaning every 3-6 months, depending on environmental factors. Agricultural operations and sites near dusty areas may need more frequent service.
Banning’s dry climate and seasonal dust storms accelerate soiling rates compared to coastal areas. During wildfire season, ash and soot can create stubborn residues that require immediate attention. We recommend quarterly cleaning for most commercial sites, with additional services as needed during high-dust periods.
The investment pays for itself quickly. A 150-MW solar farm experiencing just 7% efficiency loss from soiling can lose over $1.4 million annually in revenue. Regular professional cleaning prevents these losses while extending equipment lifespan.
We use only deionized water and specialized soft-bristle brushes designed for photovoltaic surfaces. This method removes all contaminants without risking panel damage or warranty voidance.
Deionized water is crucial because it prevents mineral deposits and scaling that regular water can leave behind. Our brushes are specifically engineered for solar panel cleaning—firm enough to remove stubborn debris but gentle enough to protect anti-reflective coatings.
We never use pressure washers, harsh chemicals, or abrasive materials that could scratch panels or damage electrical components. Our OSHA-certified technicians follow strict safety protocols for rooftop and elevated installations, ensuring both equipment protection and worker safety.
Yes, heavily soiled panels can lose 15-25% of their energy production capability, with some studies showing losses up to 50% in extreme cases. Even light dust accumulation causes measurable efficiency drops.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory found that soiling accounts for up to 7% of annual energy loss in the U.S. In dusty environments like Banning, losses can be much higher. Just one gram of dust per square meter can cost solar farm operators $77 per lost kilowatt.
The good news is that professional cleaning typically restores 95-99% of original efficiency immediately. Most commercial clients see energy production increases of 20% or more after cleaning, with the improvement visible in their monitoring systems within hours.
Absolutely. We specialize in large-scale commercial and agricultural solar cleaning throughout the Banning area. Our equipment and processes are designed to handle installations ranging from small commercial rooftops to utility-scale solar farms.
Agricultural solar installations face unique challenges from soil particles, pollen, and organic debris. We’ve developed specialized protocols for these environments, including techniques for removing stubborn agricultural dust and pollen films that standard cleaning methods can’t address effectively.
Our boom lift capabilities and industrial-grade equipment allow us to clean thousands of panels efficiently. We can work around agricultural schedules and offer overnight service for operations that can’t afford daytime interruptions.
Every commercial cleaning includes comprehensive panel washing, complete system inspection, thermal imaging scan, and detailed performance reporting. We document before and after conditions to show measurable efficiency improvements.
Our technicians check for loose connections, damaged components, signs of corrosion, and potential safety hazards during every service call. The thermal scan identifies hot spots that could indicate failing cells or electrical issues before they become major problems.
You receive a complete service report with photos, thermal images, and recommendations for any issues discovered. For maintenance plan customers, we track system performance over time and provide trend analysis to optimize cleaning schedules and identify developing problems early.
Yes, we offer comprehensive maintenance plans with quarterly, bi-annual, and annual cleaning schedules. Commercial customers receive volume discounts and priority scheduling for emergency cleaning needs.
Our maintenance plans include all standard cleaning services plus priority response for weather-related issues like wildfire ash or severe dust storms. Plan customers also receive discounted rates for additional services like bird deterrent installation or emergency cleaning.
Scheduled maintenance ensures consistent energy production and helps identify potential problems before they impact system performance. We work with your facility management team to coordinate cleaning around operational needs and provide detailed documentation for warranty compliance and performance tracking.
