Your commercial solar system represents a significant investment. When panels get dirty, you’re losing money every day. Studies show that dirty solar panels can lose up to 15% of their efficiency, and in some cases, Google found that cleaning panels for the first time in 15 months doubled their energy output.
Here in French Valley, your panels face unique challenges. Dust from agriculture, construction debris, and particulate matter from traffic all accumulate on your system. Morning dew causes this buildup to cement onto panels, making it nearly impossible to remove without professional equipment.
Clean panels mean maximum energy production, which translates directly to your bottom line. When your system operates at peak efficiency, you see the ROI you planned for when you made the investment.
We at All Seasons Window Cleaning Inc. have been serving Southern California’s commercial properties with professional cleaning services. We understand the specific environmental challenges that French Valley businesses face with their solar installations.
Located in Valencia, we’ve expanded our expertise to serve the growing commercial solar market throughout Riverside County. Our team uses deionized water and specialized equipment designed specifically for solar panel cleaning, ensuring your panels get the professional care they deserve.
We know that your solar system isn’t just equipment—it’s a business investment that needs to perform. That’s why we approach every job with the precision and reliability your operation demands.
Our process starts with a comprehensive assessment of your solar installation. We evaluate panel accessibility, soiling levels, and any specific challenges your site presents. This allows us to determine the most effective cleaning approach for your system.
We use industry-leading rotating solar brushes and pure deionized water to safely remove dirt, dust, and debris without damaging delicate panel surfaces. Our deionized water system eliminates the risk of mineral deposits or scaling that can occur with standard water cleaning methods.
During cleaning, we perform visual inspections to identify any potential issues with your panels. This proactive approach helps catch problems early, potentially saving you from costly repairs down the line. After cleaning, we conduct a final quality check to ensure every panel meets our standards for cleanliness and optimal light transmission.

Our commercial solar cleaning service covers all types of installations common in French Valley. Whether you have rooftop arrays, ground-mounted systems, carports, or agricultural solar installations, we have the equipment and expertise to handle your specific setup safely and effectively.
French Valley’s location in Riverside County means your panels deal with higher-than-average soiling rates. Agricultural activity, construction dust, and the area’s semi-arid climate create conditions where professional cleaning becomes essential for maintaining system performance. We recommend quarterly cleaning for most commercial installations in this region, though high-exposure sites may benefit from more frequent service.
We’re fully licensed and insured for commercial operations, and our team is OSHA certified for working with boom lifts and elevated cleaning equipment. This ensures safe, professional service that meets all regulatory requirements for your business.
For most commercial installations in French Valley, we recommend professional cleaning every 3-4 months. The area’s agricultural activity, construction dust, and semi-arid climate create higher soiling rates than many other regions.
However, the optimal frequency depends on your specific location and environmental exposure. Sites near agricultural fields, construction zones, or high-traffic areas may need more frequent cleaning. We can assess your system’s soiling rate and recommend a maintenance schedule that maximizes your energy production while keeping costs reasonable.
Regular professional cleaning isn’t just about performance—many solar panel manufacturers require documented maintenance to maintain warranty coverage. Skipping professional cleaning could void your warranty protection.
Absolutely. Research consistently shows that dirty panels significantly underperform clean ones. Studies indicate that dirty solar panels can lose 15% or more of their efficiency, and in extreme cases, Google’s research found that cleaning panels doubled their energy output after 15 months without maintenance.
Here in French Valley, the combination of dust, agricultural particles, and morning dew creates a cementing effect that makes buildup particularly stubborn. This cemented layer blocks sunlight even more effectively than loose dust, creating substantial energy losses.
For a typical commercial installation, the energy production increase from professional cleaning often pays for the service cost within the first month after cleaning. The remaining months until your next cleaning represent pure additional profit from your solar investment.
While basic rinsing might remove surface dust, professional cleaning is essential for several critical reasons. First, many solar panel manufacturers require documented professional maintenance to maintain warranty coverage. DIY cleaning typically doesn’t meet these requirements.
Second, improper cleaning techniques can actually damage panels. Using regular water leaves mineral deposits that can create hot spots and reduce efficiency. Abrasive cleaning methods can scratch panel surfaces, permanently reducing performance. Hard water with soap can void warranties and create calcium buildup in micro-cracks.
Professional cleaning uses specialized equipment like rotating brushes designed for solar panels, plus deionized water that leaves no residue. We also perform safety inspections during cleaning, potentially catching expensive problems before they become major issues. The combination of proper technique, appropriate equipment, and warranty protection makes professional cleaning the smart choice for commercial installations.
Our process focuses on protecting your investment while maximizing results. We use industry-leading rotating solar brushes specifically designed for photovoltaic panels, combined with pure deionized water that eliminates mineral deposits and scaling issues.
Unlike companies that use standard water and soap (which can void warranties), our deionized water system ensures chemical-free cleaning that meets manufacturer specifications. We’re also OSHA certified for elevated work and boom lift operations, ensuring safe service on commercial installations.
During every cleaning, we perform visual inspections and can conduct thermal scanning to identify potential issues. This proactive approach helps prevent small problems from becoming expensive repairs. Our team understands the specific environmental challenges in French Valley and adjusts our approach accordingly for optimal results.
Several indicators suggest your panels need professional attention. The most obvious is declining energy production compared to previous periods with similar weather conditions. If your monitoring system shows consistent drops in output without corresponding weather changes, soiling is likely the culprit.
Visual inspection can also reveal cleaning needs. Heavy dust buildup, bird droppings, or visible debris on panel surfaces all reduce efficiency. However, some of the most damaging soiling isn’t easily visible—the cemented layer that forms from morning dew and fine particles can significantly impact performance without being obvious to casual observation.
For commercial installations in French Valley, we recommend establishing a regular cleaning schedule rather than waiting for problems to become apparent. Proactive maintenance prevents efficiency losses and ensures you’re getting maximum return on your solar investment year-round.
Safety is our top priority for every commercial solar cleaning project. Our team is OSHA certified specifically for elevated work and boom lift operations, which are often required for large commercial installations. We maintain comprehensive liability insurance and can add your company as an additional insured entity on our policy for extra protection.
We use professional-grade safety equipment including fall protection systems, proper ladder techniques, and boom lifts when appropriate for roof access. Our team is trained in electrical safety protocols since we’re working around energized solar equipment.
Before starting any job, we conduct a thorough safety assessment of the site, identifying potential hazards and establishing safety protocols specific to your installation. We coordinate with your facility management to ensure our work doesn’t interfere with your operations while maintaining the highest safety standards throughout the cleaning process.
