Frequently Asked Questions

Solar panels are a HUGE investment. Just like you spend money to maintain your car, furnace, and other expensive household and business equipment, your panels need to be maintained for maximum efficiency. Solar panels convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity, and when dust and debris build up over time, you are not getting the optimal return on your investment. Additionally, not regularly maintaining your solar panels can void warranties with many solar panel installation companies.

Please don't hose off your panels! The water that comes through your standard garden hose and spigot is hard water that has mineral buildup. These minerals will stick to your panels, leave water spots, and will ultimately make your panels less productive over time. If not cleaned correctly, your panels can even become damaged.

Our water is fed through a triple filtration system and deionizer, which creates soft water that will not leave any sediments or water spots. Additionally, this water flows through a water-fed soft bristle brush to scrub away any buildup on your solar panels. We do not use any chemicals when cleaning, and do not recommend using chemicals unless special circumstances require it.

Unfortunately, solar panels can create the perfect sized home for small birds, rodents, and other creatures looking for shelter from the elements. What may seem like a small problem can turn into a large one very quickly. Pests can damage the roof under your panels, chew through wiring, and dirty your panels more than normal. By putting a barrier around your panels, you can prevent or fix this problem. To learn more about pest barriers click here.
