Your solar panels lose efficiency every day they stay dirty. In Palm Springs’ desert climate, dust, sand, and bird droppings build up fast, blocking sunlight and costing you money on every electric bill.
Clean panels produce up to 30% more power than dirty ones. That’s not marketing talk—it’s data from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. When your panels work at full capacity, you see real savings and get the return on investment you expected.
We restore your panels to peak performance using professional-grade equipment and techniques designed specifically for solar systems. No streaks, no damage, no guesswork—just clean panels that capture every ray of desert sunshine.
We at All Seasons Window Cleaning Inc. have been serving Palm Springs homeowners and businesses with professional cleaning services. We understand how the Coachella Valley’s unique desert environment affects solar panel performance.
The combination of intense heat, frequent dust storms, and minimal rainfall creates perfect conditions for panel contamination. Most cleaning companies treat solar panels like regular windows. We don’t. We use specialized techniques and equipment designed specifically for photovoltaic systems.
Our team is fully licensed, insured, and trained in safe rooftop procedures. We’ve seen what happens when panels go too long without proper maintenance, and we’re here to make sure your investment keeps paying dividends.
We start with a thorough inspection of your solar array to identify problem areas and assess the level of soiling. This tells us exactly what cleaning approach will work best for your specific situation.
Next, we use deionized water and specialized non-abrasive brushes to remove all dirt, dust, bird droppings, and mineral deposits. No garden hose water that leaves spots. No harsh chemicals that could damage your panels. Just pure water and proven techniques that restore transparency without scratching.
We finish with a final inspection to ensure every panel is spotless and functioning properly. Most residential jobs take 1-1.5 hours, and you’ll see the difference in your energy output immediately. We clean from the outside, so there’s no disruption to your home.

Living in Palm Springs means dealing with unique challenges that most solar panel owners never face. The desert wind carries fine sand that creates a film over your panels. Birds see your solar array as prime real estate for nesting. Golf courses nearby mean potential impact damage.
We handle all of it. Our service includes thorough cleaning, bird deterrent installation when needed, and damage inspection. We use eco-friendly cleaning solutions that are safe for your family, pets, and landscaping while being tough on the grime that accumulates in desert conditions.
Regular professional cleaning isn’t just about performance—it’s about protecting your warranty. Most solar panel manufacturers require proper maintenance to keep coverage valid. DIY cleaning or hiring unlicensed contractors can void your warranty and leave you exposed to costly repairs.
In Palm Springs’ desert climate, we recommend professional cleaning every 6 months for optimal performance. The combination of dust storms, minimal rainfall, and intense heat creates conditions where panels get dirty faster than in other climates.
Some homeowners try to stretch it to once per year, but that usually means losing 10-15% efficiency during the dirtiest months. When you consider that clean panels can produce 30% more power than dirty ones, the cost of cleaning pays for itself quickly.
If you live near a golf course, have large trees nearby, or notice bird activity around your panels, you might need more frequent service. We can assess your specific situation and recommend the right schedule for your property.
We strongly advise against DIY solar panel cleaning, especially in Palm Springs where many homes have steep roofs and high installations. Rooftop work is inherently dangerous, and adding water to the mix makes surfaces even more slippery.
Beyond safety concerns, improper cleaning can damage your panels or void your warranty. Using regular garden hose water leaves mineral deposits that actually make panels dirtier over time. Scrubbing too hard can scratch the glass surface, permanently reducing efficiency.
Professional cleaners have the right equipment, insurance, and training to do the job safely and correctly. The cost difference between professional and DIY cleaning is minimal when you factor in equipment costs, safety risks, and the potential for expensive mistakes.
Yes, absolutely. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, debris and soiling can cause up to 30% loss in solar panel energy production. In dusty desert environments like Palm Springs, panels can lose 0.2% of effectiveness per day just from dust accumulation.
You’ll see the difference immediately after professional cleaning. Most customers notice their energy monitoring systems showing higher output within hours of service. Over the course of a year, this translates to significant savings on your electric bill.
The exact improvement depends on how dirty your panels were before cleaning, but even lightly soiled panels typically see 15-20% production increases after professional cleaning. When you’re dealing with thousands of dollars in energy production annually, that improvement adds up fast.
Professional cleaning uses deionized water that contains no minerals or impurities, preventing the white spots and residue that regular tap water leaves behind. We use specialized brushes designed specifically for solar panels that clean thoroughly without scratching the glass surface.
DIY cleaning typically involves garden hoses and household cleaning supplies, which can actually make panels dirtier over time. Tap water contains minerals that create a film when they dry, and many household cleaners leave residues that attract more dirt.
Professional service also includes safety equipment, liability insurance, and warranty compliance. We inspect for damage, check mounting systems, and can spot potential problems before they become expensive repairs. Most importantly, we do the dangerous rooftop work so you don’t have to.
Professional solar panel cleaning in Palm Springs typically costs $150-$500 for residential systems, depending on the number of panels, roof accessibility, and level of soiling. Most homeowners spend around $300-$350 for a complete cleaning service.
When you consider that clean panels can produce 20-30% more energy, the service usually pays for itself within the first month through increased energy production. It’s one of the few home maintenance services that actually saves you money while protecting a major investment.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees, and many customers find that semi-annual cleaning costs less than the energy production they lose from dirty panels. Plus, regular professional maintenance helps maintain your warranty coverage and extends the life of your solar investment.
Yes, we stand behind our work with a satisfaction guarantee. If you don’t see improved energy production after our cleaning service, we’ll return to re-clean your panels at no additional charge. We’re confident in our methods and results.
We also guarantee that our cleaning process won’t damage your panels or void your manufacturer warranty. Our technicians are trained in proper solar panel care and use only approved cleaning methods and materials.
Our goal is to maximize your solar investment, not just clean your panels. We want you to see real results in your energy production and electric bill savings. If you’re not completely satisfied with the service or results, we’ll make it right.
