You invested in solar to cut energy costs and reduce your carbon footprint. But dirty panels can slash your energy production by up to 30%, turning your smart investment into a costly mistake.
Clean solar panels don’t just look better—they perform dramatically better. When dust, dirt, and debris block sunlight from reaching your photovoltaic cells, you’re literally watching money disappear from your energy savings every single day.
Professional cleaning restores your panels to peak performance, often increasing efficiency by 15-35% in areas like Redlands where dust and environmental contaminants accumulate quickly. That’s not just better energy production—that’s protecting the substantial investment you made in your facility’s future.
All Seasons Window Cleaning Inc. has been serving Redlands businesses with professional cleaning services that protect valuable investments. We understand that your commercial solar system represents hundreds of thousands—sometimes millions—of dollars in equipment and future energy savings.
Unlike companies that treat solar panels like regular windows, we know these are precision energy-producing instruments that require specialized care. We use deionized water, professional-grade equipment, and techniques specifically designed to clean solar panels without voiding warranties or damaging sensitive components.
Redlands businesses trust us because we show up when scheduled, work safely around your operations, and deliver results that translate directly to your bottom line. Your solar investment deserves more than a quick rinse—it deserves professional care that maximizes every dollar you’ve invested.
Our commercial solar cleaning process starts with a thorough assessment of your system. We inspect each panel array for accumulated dirt, debris, and any potential issues that could affect performance or require attention.
We use only deionized water and specialized solar panel cleaning equipment—never harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage your panels or void manufacturer warranties. Our team is trained to work safely around electrical components and at heights, ensuring your system and our crew stay protected throughout the cleaning process.
After cleaning, we perform a final inspection to ensure every panel is spotless and properly maintained. Many clients see immediate improvements in their energy monitoring systems, often within hours of our service. We document our work and can coordinate with your solar monitoring company to track performance improvements.

Our commercial solar cleaning service includes comprehensive panel cleaning, debris removal, and system inspection. We handle everything from small rooftop installations to large-scale solar farms and ground-mounted arrays throughout Redlands and San Bernardino County.
Redlands’ unique climate presents specific challenges for solar panel maintenance. Our dry, dusty conditions combined with seasonal winds mean panels accumulate dirt faster than in many other regions. Add in agricultural dust from surrounding areas and occasional wildfire ash, and your panels face constant efficiency-reducing contaminants.
We offer flexible scheduling options including one-time cleanings, quarterly maintenance plans, and bi-annual service programs. Many of our commercial clients find that regular cleaning every 3-6 months provides the best balance of performance improvement and cost-effectiveness, especially given Redlands’ environmental conditions and the substantial size of most commercial solar investments.
Dirty commercial solar panels can reduce energy production by 15-30%, sometimes more in dusty environments like Redlands. For perspective, even a 1% reduction in a large commercial solar system can cost hundreds of thousands in lost energy production annually.
The actual impact depends on your system size, local environmental conditions, and how long panels have gone without cleaning. In Redlands, where dust and agricultural particles are common, we typically see 20-25% efficiency improvements after professional cleaning on systems that haven’t been maintained for 6+ months.
This isn’t just about energy production—it’s about protecting your return on investment. If you installed solar to save $50,000 annually on energy costs, dirty panels could reduce those savings to $35,000-40,000 per year.
Most commercial solar installations in Redlands benefit from professional cleaning every 3-6 months, depending on your specific location and environmental factors. Properties near agricultural areas, construction sites, or busy roadways may need more frequent cleaning.
Redlands’ dry climate means less natural rain cleaning compared to coastal areas, and our seasonal winds carry dust and debris that accumulates quickly on panel surfaces. We typically recommend quarterly cleaning for most commercial clients, with bi-annual service as the minimum for maintaining optimal performance.
The frequency also depends on your system’s tilt angle—flatter installations accumulate dirt faster and need more frequent attention. We can assess your specific situation and recommend a maintenance schedule that balances cost with performance optimization.
Professional cleaning with proper techniques and materials actually helps maintain your warranty, while improper cleaning can void it. We use only deionized water and specialized equipment designed specifically for solar panels—never pressure washers, harsh chemicals, or abrasive materials.
Most solar panel manufacturers actually require regular cleaning as part of their warranty terms. Failing to maintain your panels properly can give manufacturers grounds to deny warranty claims for performance or equipment issues.
Our cleaning methods are specifically designed to protect your investment. We understand the delicate nature of photovoltaic cells and anti-reflective coatings, and our team is trained to clean thoroughly while preserving all protective elements that keep your panels performing efficiently for decades.
Rain helps with light dust, but it’s insufficient for the heavy soiling that commercial solar panels accumulate, especially in Redlands’ climate. Our infrequent rainfall means panels go months between natural cleaning, allowing dirt and debris to build up significantly.
Even worse, rain can actually make some soiling problems worse by turning accumulated dust into mud that’s harder to remove and blocks even more sunlight. In areas with mineral-heavy water, rain can leave deposits that create additional efficiency-reducing films on panel surfaces.
Commercial installations face additional challenges because of their size and location. Large arrays create microclimates that trap dust and debris, while rooftop installations often have limited water runoff compared to angled residential systems. Professional cleaning ensures thorough removal of all efficiency-reducing contaminants.
Our commercial solar cleaning service includes complete panel cleaning, debris removal, system inspection, and performance documentation. We clean every panel surface, remove bird droppings and stuck-on debris, and inspect mounting systems and electrical connections for any visible issues.
We also provide before-and-after documentation, including photos when requested, so you can see the improvement and track the service for your maintenance records. Many clients use this documentation for warranty compliance and to demonstrate proper system maintenance to stakeholders.
Our service includes safe access to all panel areas, proper disposal of any debris removed, and coordination with your facility management to minimize disruption to business operations. We can work around your schedule and provide advance notice of any issues discovered during cleaning that may need attention.
Most clients see immediate improvements in their energy monitoring systems, often within hours of our cleaning service. The exact improvement depends on how dirty your panels were and your system’s monitoring sensitivity, but increases of 15-35% are common after professional cleaning.
You’ll typically notice the most dramatic improvements during peak sun hours when your system normally produces maximum energy. Clean panels capture significantly more sunlight, translating directly to increased electricity production and enhanced energy cost savings.
The financial impact becomes clear on your next energy bill, especially for large commercial installations where even small percentage improvements represent substantial dollar savings. Many clients are surprised by how much energy production they were losing to dirty panels before professional cleaning restored their system’s full potential.
