Your solar panels can lose up to 30% of their efficiency when covered in dust, pollen, and bird droppings. That’s money straight out of your pocket every month. Professional cleaning restores your panels to peak performance, maximizing your energy production and protecting your investment.
Clean panels mean lower utility bills and faster payback on your solar system. You didn’t invest thousands in solar to watch your savings disappear under a layer of grime. Regular maintenance keeps your system running at full capacity, extending its lifespan and ensuring you get every kilowatt you paid for.
All Seasons Window Cleaning Inc. has been serving Southern California with professional cleaning services, understanding exactly what Lakeland Village homeowners need. We know the challenges your solar panels face in our climate – from Santa Ana winds carrying dust to persistent bird problems that plague rooftop installations.
Our team uses specialized deionized water systems and safe cleaning techniques designed specifically for solar panels. We’re not just window cleaners who dabble in solar – we understand the technology, the warranties, and the proper methods that protect your expensive investment while restoring maximum efficiency.
We start with a visual inspection of your entire solar array, checking for damage, bird nesting, or areas of heavy soiling. Our technicians use pure deionized water – no harsh chemicals that could damage anti-reflective coatings or void your warranty.
The cleaning process involves gentle brushing with soft-bristled tools designed for solar panels, followed by thorough rinsing with our purified water system. This leaves no mineral deposits or soap residue that attract dirt. We pay special attention to bird droppings, which are acidic and can permanently damage panels if left untreated.
After cleaning, we perform a final inspection and can provide before-and-after photos so you can see the difference. Clean panels not only perform better – they look better too.

Our solar panel cleaning service includes everything needed to restore and maintain your system’s performance. We clean both rooftop and ground-mount installations, remove bird droppings and nesting materials, and clear away dust, pollen, and other debris that blocks sunlight.
In Lakeland Village’s climate, solar panels typically need professional cleaning every 6 months to maintain peak efficiency. Our service area experiences regular dust from construction, agricultural activity, and seasonal winds that can quickly build up on panel surfaces. Bird activity is also common, especially with pigeons and other species that find solar installations attractive for nesting.
We use only eco-friendly cleaning methods that are safe for your family, pets, and landscaping. Our deionized water system ensures streak-free results that last longer than traditional cleaning methods, keeping your panels cleaner between services.
Most solar panels in Lakeland Village should be professionally cleaned every 6 months to maintain optimal efficiency. However, the frequency can vary based on your specific location and environmental factors. Homes near construction sites, agricultural areas, or with heavy bird activity may need more frequent cleaning.
During dusty seasons or after major weather events, you might notice a visible film on your panels or a drop in energy production. These are clear signs it’s time for cleaning. Regular maintenance every 6 months typically prevents efficiency losses and keeps your system producing maximum power year-round.
Yes, studies show that dirty solar panels can lose 25-50% of their efficiency depending on the type and amount of soiling. Bird droppings are particularly damaging because they’re acidic and create hot spots that can permanently damage panels. Even a thin layer of dust can significantly reduce power output.
The efficiency loss isn’t just about blocked sunlight – dirty panels also run hotter, which further reduces their performance. In Lakeland Village’s sunny climate, this heat buildup combined with dust and debris can dramatically impact your energy production and cost you hundreds of dollars annually in lost savings.
While basic rinsing might seem simple, solar panels require specific cleaning methods to avoid damage. Using the wrong tools, chemicals, or techniques can scratch anti-reflective coatings, damage seals, or even crack panels. Many DIY attempts also fail to properly remove stubborn bird droppings or mineral deposits.
Professional cleaning ensures your warranty remains valid and your panels are properly maintained. We use deionized water systems and specialized tools designed for solar panels. Plus, rooftop work involves safety risks that professionals are trained to handle. The cost of professional cleaning is minimal compared to replacing damaged panels.
Professional cleaning using proper methods and materials will not void your warranty – in fact, many manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep warranties valid. However, using harsh chemicals, abrasive tools, or improper cleaning techniques can damage panels and void coverage.
We use only manufacturer-approved cleaning methods and materials. Our deionized water system and soft-bristled brushes are specifically designed for solar panels. We avoid high-pressure washing, harsh chemicals, and abrasive materials that could damage protective coatings or seals. Proper documentation of professional maintenance can actually help support warranty claims if issues arise.
Solar panel cleaning costs in Riverside County typically range from $160 to $320, depending on your system size, accessibility, and condition. Factors that affect pricing include the number of panels, roof height, degree of soiling, and whether bird proofing or additional services are needed.
While this might seem like an expense, consider that dirty panels losing 25% efficiency on a typical home system can cost you $50-100 monthly in lost energy production. Professional cleaning every 6 months pays for itself through restored efficiency and extended panel life. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what to expect.
In California, spring and fall are ideal times for solar panel cleaning, aligning with our recommended 6-month schedule. Spring cleaning removes winter dust and prepares panels for peak summer production when energy output is highest. Fall cleaning removes summer dust buildup and bird droppings before winter.
However, don’t wait if you notice heavy soiling, bird droppings, or reduced energy production. In Lakeland Village’s climate, panels can accumulate significant dust during dry periods or after windstorms. The key is maintaining clean panels year-round rather than waiting for a specific season, especially given our abundant sunshine that makes every day a potential high-production day.
