You invested in solar panels to save money on energy costs. But when dust, bird droppings, and California’s airborne particles build up on your panels, you’re losing serious power output.
Clean panels don’t just look better—they perform dramatically better. Studies show dirty panels can lose up to 50% of their efficiency. That’s like throwing away half your solar investment every month.
Professional cleaning immediately restores your panels to peak performance. Our customers regularly see 20-25% increases in energy production right after service. That boost shows up on your next utility bill.
We’ve been serving Mead Valley and the surrounding Riverside County area for over a decade. We understand the unique challenges California solar owners face—from persistent dust to aggressive bird activity.
We’re fully bonded and insured, giving you complete peace of mind when we’re working on your roof. Our specialized equipment and deionized water system deliver streak-free results that keep your panels producing maximum power.
Mead Valley’s dry climate means dust accumulates faster here than in many other areas. We’ve developed cleaning schedules that work with your local conditions, not against them.
First, we conduct a visual inspection of your entire solar array to identify any issues before we start cleaning. This catches potential problems early, before they become expensive repairs.
Next, we use our specialized deionized water system to remove all dust, bird droppings, and buildup without leaving streaks or mineral deposits. Our soft-bristle brushes are designed specifically for solar panels—tough on dirt, gentle on your investment.
Finally, we perform a final rinse and quality check to ensure every panel is spotless. You’ll see the difference immediately in both appearance and performance. Most customers notice increased energy production within days of service.

Our service includes thorough cleaning of all panel surfaces, frames, and mounting hardware. We remove everything from everyday dust to stubborn bird droppings that can cause permanent damage if left untreated.
In Mead Valley’s climate, we recommend cleaning every 6 months to maintain optimal efficiency. Properties near agricultural areas or with heavy bird activity may benefit from quarterly service. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the right schedule.
We also provide documentation of our service for warranty compliance. Many solar manufacturers require proof of regular professional maintenance, and our detailed service records help protect your investment if warranty issues arise.
Dirty solar panels in Mead Valley can lose 25-50% of their efficiency, depending on the level of contamination. California’s dusty conditions, combined with bird activity, create the perfect storm for reduced performance.
Bird droppings are particularly damaging because they’re acidic and stick to panel surfaces. Even small amounts can create “hot spots” that permanently damage cells. Dust accumulation happens gradually but consistently—you might not notice the decline until it’s significant.
Professional cleaning immediately restores efficiency. Our customers typically see 20-25% increases in energy production after service, which translates directly to lower utility bills and better return on your solar investment.
Rain alone doesn’t effectively clean solar panels, especially in Mead Valley’s climate. While light rain might remove some surface dust, it often leaves behind mineral deposits and can’t handle stubborn contaminants like bird droppings or sticky pollen.
California rainwater actually contains pollutants it picks up on the way down, including salt, chemicals, and soot. This contaminated water can leave residue that further reduces panel efficiency. During fire season, rain can deposit ash and smoke particles that require professional removal.
Our deionized water system removes all minerals and contaminants, leaving panels truly clean without any residue. This is why professional cleaning delivers results that rain simply can’t match.
In Mead Valley’s dusty environment, we recommend professional cleaning every 6 months for optimal performance. Properties with heavy bird activity or near agricultural areas may need quarterly service to maintain peak efficiency.
The frequency depends on several local factors: proximity to dust sources, bird populations, and seasonal conditions. Spring cleaning removes winter buildup and prepares panels for peak summer production. Fall cleaning clears accumulated dust and debris before the rainy season.
Regular cleaning isn’t just about performance—it’s about protecting your warranty. Many manufacturers require documented maintenance to honor warranty claims. Our service records help ensure you’re covered if issues arise.
While it’s technically possible to clean your own panels, it involves significant safety risks and potential for damage. Rooftop work is inherently dangerous, and solar panels require specific cleaning techniques to avoid scratching or damaging the surface.
Using the wrong cleaning products or techniques can void your warranty. Harsh chemicals, abrasive materials, or excessive pressure can permanently damage anti-reflective coatings. Even minor scratches reduce efficiency and can’t be repaired.
Professional cleaning eliminates these risks while delivering superior results. We have the proper equipment, insurance, and expertise to clean your panels safely and effectively. The cost of professional service is minimal compared to the risk of injury or panel damage.
Bird droppings are highly acidic and can cause permanent damage if left untreated. They contain uric acid that etches glass surfaces over time, creating permanent marks that reduce efficiency even after cleaning.
Beyond surface damage, bird droppings create hot spots by blocking sunlight to specific cells. These hot spots can cause cells to overheat and fail permanently. In severe cases, this damage can void your warranty if manufacturers determine it resulted from poor maintenance.
Prompt professional removal prevents permanent damage. Our cleaning process safely removes all organic matter and restores full panel function. We also offer bird deterrent solutions to prevent future contamination and protect your investment long-term.
Yes, professional cleaning helps protect your solar panel warranty in several important ways. Many manufacturers require documented regular maintenance as a condition of warranty coverage. Without proof of proper care, warranty claims can be denied.
Professional service provides the documentation you need if warranty issues arise. Our detailed service records show you’ve maintained your panels according to manufacturer requirements, protecting your rights in any dispute.
Additionally, professional cleaning prevents the types of damage that commonly void warranties—scratches from improper cleaning, chemical damage from wrong products, or efficiency loss from neglected maintenance. Investing in professional service protects both your panels and your warranty coverage.
