Your solar panels were supposed to cut your electric bill, not struggle to keep up with it. When dust, bird droppings, and grime cover your panels, you’re literally watching money evaporate into thin air.
Clean panels work the way they’re supposed to. You’ll see the difference in your energy production within days, not weeks. No more wondering why your system isn’t performing like it did when it was new.
The math is simple: dirty panels produce less power, which means higher bills and longer payback periods. Professional cleaning restores your panels to peak efficiency, so you get the savings you invested in.
We’ve been serving Corona and the surrounding Riverside County area for years. We understand the unique challenges that Southern California weather brings to solar panel maintenance.
Corona’s dry climate and occasional Santa Ana winds create perfect conditions for dust buildup on solar panels. We’ve seen firsthand how quickly panels can lose efficiency without proper care. That’s why we developed our specialized deionized water cleaning process.
We know solar panels aren’t just glass you can scrub with soap and water. These are precision investments that require the right techniques and equipment to clean safely and effectively.
First, we inspect your panels and take before photos so you can see exactly what we’re working with. We check for any damage or issues that might affect cleaning or performance.
Next, we use our deionized water system to gently remove all dirt, dust, bird droppings, and buildup. No harsh chemicals or soaps that leave residue – just pure water that dries spot-free and keeps panels cleaner longer.
Finally, we document the results with after photos and provide you with a clear picture of your restored panels. You’ll typically see improved energy production within the first few sunny days after cleaning.

Every solar panel cleaning includes complete removal of dust, dirt, pollen, bird droppings, and other debris using our specialized deionized water process. We also inspect mounting hardware for any signs of corrosion or damage.
Corona homeowners face unique challenges with solar panel maintenance. The area’s proximity to both urban pollution and natural dust sources means panels accumulate grime faster than in many other locations. Our local experience helps us address these specific conditions effectively.
We provide before and after photos with every service, so you can see the dramatic difference professional cleaning makes. Most Corona customers schedule cleaning twice per year to maintain optimal efficiency, though some high-exposure locations may benefit from quarterly service.
Most Corona homeowners benefit from professional solar panel cleaning twice per year. However, your specific schedule depends on several local factors.
If your home is near busy streets, construction sites, or you’ve noticed bird activity around your panels, you might need quarterly cleanings. Corona’s dry climate means less natural washing from rain compared to other areas.
The best indicator is your energy production monitoring. If you notice a gradual decline in output that can’t be explained by weather or seasonal changes, it’s time for cleaning. We can help you determine the optimal schedule based on your specific location and exposure conditions.
Yes, and the improvement is usually dramatic. Clean solar panels can produce up to 30% more energy than dirty ones, depending on the level of buildup.
Even a thin layer of dust that you might barely notice can reduce efficiency by 10-25%. Bird droppings, pollen, and cemented dust from Corona’s occasional windstorms create even bigger problems.
Most customers see noticeable improvements in their energy monitoring systems within 2-3 sunny days after professional cleaning. The exact increase depends on how dirty your panels were, but any improvement goes directly to your bottom line through lower electric bills.
Solar panels are more fragile than they appear, and improper cleaning can cause expensive damage. You can’t walk on them, lean against them, or apply much pressure during cleaning.
Using regular tap water or soap creates problems too. Tap water leaves mineral deposits that actually attract more dirt. Soap residue does the same thing, which is why some DIY cleaning jobs make panels dirtier faster.
Professional cleaning uses specialized equipment and pure water systems that leave no residue. We also carry insurance for any accidental damage, something you can’t get with DIY approaches. For most homeowners, the safety and effectiveness benefits make professional cleaning worth the investment.
Deionized water has all minerals removed, so it dries completely clear without leaving spots or residue. Regular tap water contains minerals that create white spots and film on panels when it dries.
These mineral deposits don’t just look bad – they actually reduce panel efficiency and attract more dirt. The minerals create a slightly rough surface that gives dust and pollen something to stick to.
When we use deionized water, panels dry crystal clear and stay cleaner much longer. Many customers notice their panels still look great even after several months, compared to tap water cleaning that shows spots within weeks.
The cost depends on your system size, accessibility, and current condition. Most residential cleanings in Corona range from reasonable to very affordable when you consider the energy production improvements.
Think about it this way: if dirty panels are costing you 20% efficiency, and your monthly solar savings should be $150, you’re losing $30 per month. Over six months, that’s $180 in lost savings from dirty panels.
Professional cleaning typically pays for itself within the first few months through improved energy production. We provide free quotes so you can see exactly what the service costs for your specific system before making any decisions.
Yes, we safely remove bird droppings, nesting materials, and other wildlife-related debris from your solar panels. Bird waste is particularly damaging because it’s acidic and can permanently stain panels if left untreated.
Corona’s climate attracts various birds that see solar panels as convenient perching and nesting spots. Pigeons are especially problematic because they tend to return to the same locations repeatedly.
We clean all organic matter safely without damaging your panels or disturbing active nests when wildlife protection requires it. For customers with ongoing bird problems, we can discuss bird deterrent options to prevent future issues and reduce cleaning frequency.
