Solar Panel Cleaning Services & Pricing in Orange County, CA

Our primary focus is solar panel cleaning. We actually used to offer full service window cleaning, gutter cleaning and pressure washing, but we realized that we were spreading ourselves too thin to offer the service that our customers deserved. So as of 2021, we narrowed our gaze to prioritize professional solar panel cleaning.

That being said, here is a short-list of what we do and what we don’t do.

What We Do

What We Don't Do

  • Pressure Washing
  • Roof Cleaning
  • Interior Residential Window Cleaning
  • Gutter Cleaning (multi-story)
  • High Rise Cleaning

Why hire a professional solar panel cleaning company?

The reason why we decided to focus on Solar Panel Cleaning is simple. There is a very high demand for professional, licensed, bonded and insured Solar Panel Cleaning Services here in Orange County. There are dozens, if not hundreds of pressure washing companies and window cleaning companies in this area, some of whom also “dabble” in Solar Panel Cleaning.

The issue is that these companies offer Solar Panel Cleaning as an “add-on” service and many of them don’t have the knowledge or equipment needed to clean PV Panels properly and safely. Many times they do not have the proper CSLB license or the accompanying bonds, insurances and workers compensation policies. This leaves you, your panels and your home exposed to liability. The only exposure your panels should have is from the Sun!

How Much Does Solar Panel Cleaning Cost in Orange County?

The cost of solar panel cleaning in Orange County typically ranges between $8 to $14 per panel, depending on system size, roof accessibility, and overall difficulty of the job. If your panels are atop a single story home and can be reached from the ground you will be on the lower end of that spectrum. If your panels are difficult to access or require a team of 2 to safely clean, you will be on the higher end of that spectrum. 

For most residential systems, homeowners can expect total service costs ranging from $150 to $500, which aligns with national averages for professional solar panel cleaning services .
