Your solar panels are losing efficiency every day they stay dirty. Bird droppings block sunlight completely. Dust and debris can cut your energy production by up to 40%.
Clean panels mean lower electricity bills and better returns on your solar investment. You’ll see the difference immediately when your system starts producing the power it was designed for.
That’s money back in your pocket every month, and protection for the thousands you invested in solar technology.
We at All Seasons Window Cleaning Inc. understand Lake Elsinore’s unique challenges. Our dry climate attracts dust that sticks to panels, and local bird populations create serious nesting problems that damage solar systems.
We’ve been serving Riverside County homeowners who want their solar investments protected. Our team knows which cleaning methods work best in our desert environment and how to handle the bird issues that plague rooftop installations.
When you’re dealing with a $10,000+ solar system on your roof, you want professionals who understand both the technology and the local conditions that affect it.
We start with a complete visual inspection of your entire solar array. This catches potential problems early and ensures we address every efficiency issue.
Next comes the cleaning itself. We use deionized water and soft-bristle tools that remove dirt and debris without damaging your panels or voiding warranties. No harsh chemicals or pressure washing that can crack seals or damage cells.
Bird droppings get special attention since they block sunlight completely and won’t wash away naturally. We remove all organic matter and check for any nesting activity that could cause future problems.

Lake Elsinore homeowners face specific solar challenges that basic cleaning can’t solve. Bird nesting is a serious problem here, with pigeons and other birds creating fire hazards and health risks under your panels.
Our service includes bird deterrent consultation and removal of existing nests. We also inspect mounting hardware for corrosion or damage that could affect your system’s stability.
The dry climate here means dust accumulates faster than in coastal areas, and our cleaning schedule recommendations account for seasonal patterns that affect Lake Elsinore properties differently than other parts of Riverside County.
Dirty solar panels in Lake Elsinore can lose 20-40% of their efficiency, depending on the type of soiling. Bird droppings are the worst culprits because they block sunlight completely and create hot spots that can damage cells permanently.
Dust accumulation is particularly problematic in our desert climate. Unlike coastal areas where marine layer moisture helps panels self-clean, Lake Elsinore’s dry conditions allow dirt to build up and stick to panel surfaces.
Studies show that even a thin layer of dust can reduce output by 7-10%, while heavy soiling from birds or construction activity can cut production nearly in half.
Most Lake Elsinore homeowners benefit from professional cleaning 2-3 times per year, with timing based on seasonal bird activity and dust accumulation patterns.
Spring cleaning is essential because winter bird nesting leaves behind droppings and debris. Summer cleaning addresses dust buildup from our dry months, and fall cleaning prepares panels for peak sun season.
If you have bird problems or live near construction, you may need more frequent service. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend a maintenance schedule that maximizes your energy production.
DIY solar panel cleaning involves significant safety risks, especially on Lake Elsinore’s steep-roof homes. Roof work accounts for thousands of injuries annually, and wet panels create additional slip hazards.
There’s also the risk of damage to your expensive solar equipment. Using wrong cleaning products, too much pressure, or abrasive tools can void warranties and create costly repairs.
Professional cleaners have the right equipment, insurance coverage, and training to work safely on roofs while protecting your solar investment. The cost of professional service is minimal compared to potential medical bills or equipment damage.
Lake Elsinore’s bird population sees solar panels as ideal nesting spots, creating serious problems for homeowners. Pigeons, in particular, build nests under panels where they’re protected from weather and predators.
Bird droppings are highly acidic and can permanently damage panel surfaces and mounting hardware. Nests create fire hazards by blocking ventilation and can harbor diseases dangerous to humans and pets.
Our dry climate makes these problems worse because droppings don’t wash away naturally like they would in rainier areas. Professional removal and deterrent installation are often necessary to protect both your equipment and your family’s health.
Professional solar panel cleaning using proper methods and materials will not void your warranty. In fact, many manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep warranties valid.
The key is using gentle, appropriate cleaning techniques. We use deionized water and soft tools specifically designed for solar panels, avoiding harsh chemicals or pressure washing that could damage seals or anti-reflective coatings.
We’re familiar with major solar panel manufacturers’ warranty requirements and cleaning guidelines. Our methods meet or exceed industry standards for safe panel maintenance, protecting both your equipment and your warranty coverage.
Solar panel cleaning costs in Lake Elsinore typically range from $150-400 depending on system size, roof accessibility, and the level of soiling. Most homeowners find this investment pays for itself quickly through improved energy production.
For example, if dirty panels are costing you $50-100 monthly in lost production, professional cleaning 2-3 times per year easily pays for itself while protecting your long-term investment.
We provide free estimates that account for your specific system size, roof conditions, and any bird or pest issues that need addressing. This gives you an accurate picture of both costs and potential savings before you commit to service.
