Your commercial solar panels are losing money every day they stay dirty. Dust accumulation can decrease solar panel efficiency by up to 22% during California’s dry periods, and that directly impacts your energy production and return on investment.
When we clean your solar array, you’re not just getting cleaner panels. You’re getting immediate results that show up on your energy bills. Our clients typically see a 20% increase in energy production right after cleaning, with some systems boosting photovoltaic output by even more.
Think about what that means for your business. If you invested in solar to cut energy costs, dirty panels are working against that goal every single day. Clean panels mean maximum energy generation, which means maximum savings and faster payback on your solar investment.
All Seasons Window Cleaning Inc. has been serving commercial properties throughout the Riverside County area, including Lake Mathews, with professional cleaning solutions that business owners can count on. We understand the unique challenges that Southern California’s climate presents for solar panel maintenance.
Lake Mathews businesses face higher than average energy bills, which is exactly why so many have invested in commercial solar systems. We’re here to make sure those investments perform at their peak. Our team knows the local conditions – the dust patterns, the seasonal challenges, and what it takes to keep commercial solar arrays running efficiently year-round.
We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured because your business deserves that level of professional protection. When you’re dealing with valuable solar equipment on commercial properties, there’s no room for shortcuts or amateur work.
We start with a comprehensive assessment of your commercial solar array to identify any specific cleaning challenges or maintenance concerns. Our team evaluates panel accessibility, soiling levels, and develops a cleaning strategy that works around your business operations.
We use only pure reverse osmosis deionized water fed through specialized extension poles with brushes designed specifically for solar panel cleaning. No harsh chemicals that could damage your panels or void warranties. This method safely removes dust, debris, and stubborn residues without causing scratches or other damage to the glass surfaces.
For businesses where daytime disruption is a concern, we offer overnight cleaning services. This is especially valuable for retail locations, manufacturing facilities, or any commercial property where auto and pedestrian traffic could be affected by our work. We complete the job while your facility isn’t busy, so your daytime operations never even know we were there.

Our commercial solar cleaning service goes beyond just washing panels. We perform visual inspections of your entire solar array during every cleaning to identify potential issues before they become expensive problems. This includes checking for loose connections, damaged components, or signs of wear that could impact system performance.
In Lake Mathews, where businesses are increasingly focused on reducing their carbon footprint, maintaining clean solar panels is essential for maximizing both environmental benefits and cost savings. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory found that soiling accounts for up to 7% of annual energy lost in the United States, which means regular cleaning is one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your solar investment.
We understand that commercial solar installations often involve complex configurations – rooftop arrays, ground-mounted systems, solar carports, and utility-scale installations. Our team has the equipment and expertise to handle projects of all sizes safely and efficiently, whether you have a small rooftop system or a large-scale commercial solar farm.
Industry experts recommend cleaning commercial solar panels every 6 months to maintain maximum efficiency, but the optimal frequency depends on your specific location and environmental conditions. In Lake Mathews, factors like seasonal dust patterns, nearby construction, and local weather conditions all impact how quickly panels accumulate soiling.
For most commercial installations in our area, we recommend quarterly cleaning during peak dust seasons and semi-annual cleaning during milder periods. In areas like California’s Central Valley where soiling rates are high and rainfall is low, more frequent cleaning makes economic sense. We can assess your specific site conditions and energy production data to recommend the optimal cleaning schedule that maximizes your return on investment.
The key is monitoring your energy output and establishing a cleaning routine before efficiency losses become significant. It’s much more cost-effective to prevent heavy soiling buildup than to restore severely impacted panels.
Research shows that solar farm operators lose approximately $77 per kW for every decrease in energy productivity due to soiling. For larger commercial installations, a 150-MW solar farm experiencing 7% energy loss could lose over $1.4 million per year.
Compare that to the cost of professional cleaning. While one-time cleaning for a 10-megawatt solar farm costs approximately $5,000, the energy production gains typically pay for the cleaning service within the first month. Even a 1% power reduction from a 150 MW solar project can cause $200,000 in lost revenue annually.
For most commercial installations, regular cleaning costs represent a fraction of the potential energy losses from dirty panels. When you factor in the immediate production increases and long-term system protection, professional cleaning delivers a clear positive return on investment.
While rain can help remove some dust accumulation, studies in California show that after long dry periods, solar panel efficiency can decrease by 22% until rain helps restore panels to almost 99% of their original efficiency. However, rain alone isn’t sufficient for commercial solar maintenance.
The real problem occurs when panels cool down at night and attract morning dew. Dust particles go through a process called cementation, where soiling is literally cemented onto the panel surface. Once this happens, even strong rain won’t remove it.
In Lake Mathews’ semi-arid climate, we can’t rely on rainfall for consistent panel cleaning. Commercial installations need proactive maintenance because waiting for rain means accepting reduced energy production during dry periods. Professional cleaning removes both loose debris and cemented soiling that rain simply can’t handle.
Most solar panels won’t tolerate harsh chemicals or heavy scrub brushes, which is why professional cleaning methods are essential for commercial installations. We use pure deionized water systems that remove contaminants without leaving mineral deposits or residues on the panel surface.
Our cleaning process uses high-quality products specifically designed for safely cleaning solar panels – no corrosive chemicals, only the purest reverse osmosis deionized water. This method protects your panel warranties while ensuring thorough cleaning that restores optimal light transmission.
For commercial installations, we also use specialized access equipment like water-fed poles and professional-grade brushes designed for solar panel glass. This approach eliminates the risk of scratches or damage while providing thorough cleaning across large arrays. The key is using methods that clean effectively without compromising the integrity of your solar investment.
We understand that commercial solar cleaning can’t disrupt your business operations. That’s why we offer overnight cleaning services for businesses like retail stores, manufacturing facilities, and other commercial properties where daytime traffic is a concern. We can clean your solar installations overnight when your facilities aren’t busy, so your daytime operations are never affected.
For installations that require daytime access, we coordinate closely with facility managers to schedule work during low-activity periods or break our cleaning into phases that minimize operational impact. Our team is trained to work safely around active commercial environments while maintaining the security and cleanliness standards your business requires.
We also provide advance notice and clear communication about our cleaning schedule, access requirements, and any temporary considerations. The goal is seamless service that protects your solar investment without creating complications for your day-to-day business operations.
You should expect immediate, measurable improvements in energy production. Our clients typically see a 20% increase in energy output right after cleaning, and we provide before-and-after documentation to verify the results. Most customers notice the difference in their energy production data within days of cleaning.
Beyond immediate production gains, professional cleaning extends the life of your solar investment by preventing long-term damage from accumulated debris. Bird droppings, in particular, can cause hot-spotting and create permanent efficiency losses if left untreated. Regular cleaning prevents these issues from developing.
You should also expect a comprehensive service that includes visual inspection of your entire solar array. We identify potential maintenance issues during cleaning visits, helping you address small problems before they become expensive repairs. The combination of restored energy production and preventive maintenance makes professional cleaning one of the most cost-effective investments in your solar system’s performance.
