Your Tesla solar roof isn’t producing what it should. You’ve noticed the gradual decline, maybe checked your app a few times wondering why your energy bills crept up again. Here’s what happens when we clean your system properly.
Most Upland homeowners see 5-12% energy production increases within days of professional cleaning. That translates to real money back in your pocket, often paying for the service within 2-3 months. Your tiles look pristine again, but more importantly, they’re capturing every available ray of California sunshine.
The difference isn’t just cosmetic. Desert dust, mineral deposits from hard water, and debris create a film that blocks sunlight from reaching your solar cells. When we remove that barrier completely, your system returns to the efficiency levels you paid for.
We’ve been serving Upland homeowners for over a decade. We’re not just another cleaning company that happened to add solar services. We’re NABCEP certified, meaning we understand solar systems inside and out.
When we clean your Tesla solar roof, we’re also inspecting for potential issues that could cost thousands later. Loose connections, damaged tiles, or compromised seals don’t fix themselves. Our technicians spot these problems early, when they’re still manageable.
Upland’s unique position at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains creates specific challenges. Desert winds carry fine dust that embeds in tile surfaces. Hard water from local sources leaves mineral deposits that actually attract more dirt. We’ve developed techniques specifically for these conditions, using deionized water systems that leave no residue behind.
We start by safely shutting down your system. No shortcuts, no risks to your equipment or our team. Tesla specifically recommends against homeowners climbing on their roofs, and we understand why. These aren’t traditional shingles, and they require specialized knowledge to clean without damage.
Next comes the actual cleaning. We use deionized water systems that remove every mineral that would leave spots or residue. Our soft-wash techniques remove dust, bird droppings, and the stubborn buildup that Upland’s desert environment creates, all while protecting your tile surfaces and warranties.
We also clean around your panels, including mounting hardware and inverter areas. Desert dust doesn’t just affect the glass surfaces. It can clog cooling vents and create hot spots that reduce your system’s lifespan. A thorough cleaning addresses every component that affects solar production. Finally, we restart your system and verify everything is working properly.

Our Tesla solar roof cleaning service includes complete system inspection, specialized tile cleaning with manufacturer-approved methods, and verification of proper system operation. We use deionized water systems specifically designed for solar applications, ensuring no mineral deposits or streaks that could reduce efficiency.
In Upland’s desert climate, we recommend cleaning every 6 months minimum. Some homes near agricultural areas or with mature trees need quarterly service. The key indicator is your energy production monitoring. If you notice gradual decline that doesn’t match seasonal changes, it’s time for professional cleaning.
Upland homeowners face unique challenges from desert dust accumulation and hard water mineral deposits. Our techniques address these specific conditions, using equipment and methods that completely remove buildup without damaging your investment. We’re fully insured and bonded, with guarantees that our work won’t void your Tesla warranty or harm your system in any way.
In Upland’s desert climate, we recommend professional Tesla solar roof cleaning every 6 months minimum. Some homes need quarterly cleaning, especially if you’re near agricultural areas or have trees that attract birds.
The key indicator is your energy production monitoring. If you notice a gradual decline that doesn’t match seasonal changes, it’s time for cleaning. Desert dust accumulation happens faster than most homeowners realize, and what looks like light coating can block significant sunlight from reaching your cells.
Don’t wait until you’ve lost 20-30% efficiency. That’s money you can’t get back, and frequent cleaning actually costs less than dealing with heavy buildup that requires extra time and specialized treatments.
No, our cleaning methods are specifically approved by Tesla and major solar manufacturers. We guarantee no damage to your panels or voiding of warranties. Our techniques are designed specifically for photovoltaic systems and Tesla’s integrated solar tiles.
We’re NABCEP certified, meaning we understand solar systems, not just cleaning. We know exactly how to work around Tesla solar equipment without causing damage, and we follow Tesla’s specific guidelines for roof cleaning, including directing water flow properly and avoiding direct spray on tile edges.
We’re also fully insured and bonded. If any damage occurs during our service, we’re covered. But in over a decade of solar cleaning, our manufacturer-approved methods have never caused warranty issues or system damage.
The biggest difference is our deionized water system. Most DIY attempts use garden hose water, which contains minerals that leave spots and residue. These mineral deposits actually attract more dirt, making your tiles dirtier faster than before cleaning.
Our purified water rinses completely clean, leaving no residue behind. We also have specialized soft-wash equipment designed specifically for solar applications, removing buildup without scratching or damaging tile surfaces.
Safety is another major factor. Tesla specifically recommends against homeowners stepping on their roofs. These aren’t traditional shingles, and they require specialized knowledge to clean without damage. Our technicians are trained in proper techniques and have the equipment to clean safely from ground level when possible.
Tesla solar roof cleaning typically runs $200-500 depending on system size, roof accessibility, and current condition. Most homes with standard rooftop installations fall in the $250-400 range. We price by the job, not by the hour, so you know exactly what you’ll pay upfront.
Consider that professional cleaning often pays for itself within 2-3 months through increased energy production. If your system has lost even 10% efficiency due to buildup, cleaning restores that production immediately.
We always provide free estimates, so you know exactly what to expect before we start. If your system needs extra work due to heavy buildup or specific challenges, we’ll discuss that upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Yes, we specialize in Tesla solar roof cleaning with techniques designed specifically for integrated solar tiles. These roofs are different from traditional solar panels and require specialized knowledge and equipment to clean properly without damage.
We use soft-wash techniques with deionized water systems, avoiding abrasive methods that could scratch tile surfaces or compromise seals. Our technicians understand Tesla’s specific construction and know exactly where to step, how to direct water flow, and which areas require extra care.
We’re NABCEP certified and have been cleaning solar systems for over 10 years. Our methods are manufacturer-approved and designed to protect your investment while restoring peak performance. We guarantee no damage to your system or voiding of warranties.
Yes, most homeowners see immediate energy production increases within 24-48 hours of professional cleaning. The improvement is often visible the same day, especially if your system was significantly dirty before service.
Typical production increases range from 5-12%, though heavily soiled systems can see improvements of 20-30% or more. You can monitor the results through your Tesla app, watching daily production numbers return to expected levels for your system size and current season.
We guarantee you’ll see improved energy production within a week of cleaning, assuming your system was dirty to begin with. If you don’t see measurable results, we’ll come back and re-clean at no charge. The improvement is usually immediate and dramatic enough that you’ll wonder why you waited so long.
