Solar Panel Cleaning
in Corona, CA
Get More From Your Solar Panels in Corona
Our area is hot, dry, and dusty for long stretches, and Santa Ana wind events push grit straight onto rooftop panels. A layer of dust and road film builds up faster than most homeowners expect, often visible within about a week, and by the four-to-six-month mark that layer is quietly costing you output. It builds up on the part of the house you rarely get a close look at, which is why it goes unnoticed longer than it should.
We clean residential solar arrays with deionized water fed through a carbon-fiber water-fed pole and a panel-safe pad, so nothing abrasive ever touches the cell surface and the panels dry without a single spot. Every job is filmed before and after, so you can see exactly what came off the glass. Squeegee Guys handle this the same careful way on every roof we work on.
If you want your panels back to spotless, call us at (951) 212-5214 and we can talk through your array.
The Solar Arrays We Clean in Corona
The cleaning method is the same deionized-water, panel-safe approach on every array. What changes from one home to the next is simply how we reach the panels.
Roof-Mounted Arrays on Tile Roofs
This is the common setup on homes around here, since tile roofing is the regional norm and most rooftop arrays sit on top of it. We ladder up to the roofline and clean the panels from the roof itself, never by walking across the panels. The tiles are walked with care and technique, placing weight where the tile carries it so nothing cracks underfoot. The panels are only ever cleaned, never stood on.
Ground-Mounted Arrays
These are panels mounted at ground level instead of on the roof. They get the same deionized water and the same panel-safe pad, and they are easier and safer to reach with no roof access needed. Many of the same homeowners have us clean the surrounding concrete flatwork while we’re on site, since a ground array often sits near a patio or walkway. There is no ladder-to-roofline step here; the water-fed pole reaches the array directly.
What Sets Our Solar Panel Cleaning Apart
There are a few solar-specific reasons homeowners keep calling us back, and each one comes down to how the work is actually done on your roof.
Every Job Filmed Before and After
We film your panels before we touch them and again once they’re dry, then send you both. Video up close can’t hide a dirty panel the way a still image can, and customers tell us nobody else does this. Your panels sit where you can’t easily inspect them, so the video is how you actually verify the work got done and got done right.
Deionized Water, Spot-Free Finish
We clean solar panels with deionized water through a carbon-fiber water-fed pole. The reason it dries spot-free is simple: the water carries no minerals, so there is nothing left behind to dry into a spot. No film, no streaking on the panel glass, just clean cells doing their job.
A Pad That's Safe for the Cell Surface
Each panel is scrubbed one at a time with a panel-safe pad on a Tucker Alpha Scrubber, roughly an 18-inch disposable pad that gets replaced often, so every job starts on fresh material. Nothing abrasive touches the cell surface. Keeping the glass safe while it gets clean is the part we take the most care with.
The Owner on the Phone and on Your Roof
When you call, you’re talking to the owner, and the owner is the one who shows up and does the work. There’s no crew rotation and no handoff. On a job that puts someone on your roof and around your array, the person accountable for the result is the same person doing it.
Book Your Corona Solar Panel Cleaning Today
STEP
Your Price on the First Call
Call, text, email, or use the website form, and calls go straight to the owner. Give us your panel count, or just your address, and we measure the array remotely from satellite imagery, cross-checking more than one source so the count is right. You get a real price on the call, with no waiting for a callback and no site visit for a standard residential array. A $100 minimum applies, and a travel surcharge may apply beyond our service radius.
STEP
Scheduling and the Confirmation
We book your date and send a confirmation call or text before your service day. Recurring customers can set their preferred dates months ahead and keep the same slot each visit.
STEP
The Before Video and Panel Count
We arrive about ten minutes early, greet you, and find an outside spigot. We ladder up to the roofline, adding a second ladder from the first to the second story where the roofline needs it, then film the whole array and count the panels. We confirm the count and any price change with you before we start, so you’re billed for what’s actually on the roof, whether that’s up or down from the estimate.
STEP
The Deionized-Water Wash
The DI resin tank connects at the spigot and feeds the carbon-fiber water-fed pole. Each panel is rinsed, scrubbed one at a time with the panel-safe pad on the Tucker Alpha Scrubber, then rinsed again and left to dry spot-free. We walk the roof tiles, never the panels.
STEP
The Dry Check and the After Video
After five to ten minutes we check the array for missed spots and re-do any we find, then let the panels dry fully. Cloud cover slows the drying, and we wait it out, because a wet panel can look clean without being clean. Only once the array is fully dry do we shoot the after video. Both videos go to you.
STEP
Walkthrough and Finish
Equipment comes down, both before-and-after videos go to you, and we have a final word at the door. We’re not comfortable leaving you with work you’re not happy with, so if anything looks off, we want to hear it before we go.
What Solar Panel Cleaning Costs in Corona
Pricing is flat per panel with a service minimum, and most residential jobs land in a predictable range. We price it this way on purpose, so you can check the number against your own panel count and know what to expect before we arrive.
- $7.50 per solar panel, $100 minimum. This is the flat per-panel rate, with a $100 minimum per visit. Most residential jobs land between $100 and $300 depending on how many panels are on the roof. On large arrays, roughly above 35 to 40 panels, the per-panel rate steps down to stay competitive, and a travel surcharge may apply beyond our service radius. Your bill is based on the verified panel count from the pre-work video, not the estimate we gave over the phone.
- Recurring service saves per visit. Set up a recurring schedule (see the plans below) and quarterly for 15% off per visit or semiannual visit comes in at 10% off.
- Bundling more than one service. We do run a multi-service discount, so if you’re pairing solar cleaning with driveway pressure washing or other work, ask about it when you get your estimate.
Recurring Solar Cleaning Plans
For solar, we recommend cleaning every four to six months. A recurring plan books that rhythm for you so you don’t have to think about it.
Two residential options work well for solar. On the quarterly plan, we come back every three months and we take 10% off each visit. On the semiannual plan, we come twice a year, take 10% off every visit, and book your dates as far ahead as you want them.
Our Solar Panel Cleaning Promise
100% Satisfaction Guarantee
We guarantee you’re satisfied. If we’ve missed something, we come back and fix it. If it’s something we genuinely can’t fix, a panel with hard-water etching that won’t fully clear, a stain that won’t lift, then we don’t charge you for that work. We’re not comfortable taking your money for a result you’re not happy with.
We Bill You for the Panels That Are Actually There
We video your array before we start and bill you for the panels that are actually up there. If you’ve got fewer than you told us, your price comes down. If you’ve got more, we tell you before we start, not after.
What Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions
How often do solar panels need cleaning in our area?
Every four to six months is the cadence we recommend here. Our area is dry and dusty for long stretches, and Santa Ana wind events drive grit onto the panels, so a layer of dust and road film builds up visibly within about a week and is measurably costing you output by the four-to-six-month mark. That’s exactly why we suggest a recurring schedule for solar; a plan books that rhythm so the panels never sit dirty for long. We don’t promise a specific efficiency percentage.
Will cleaning my panels scratch or damage them?
No. We scrub each panel one at a time with a panel-safe pad, so nothing abrasive touches the cell surface. The pad is a disposable roughly 18-inch pad on a Tucker Alpha Scrubber, replaced often so every job starts on fresh, clean material. We walk the roof tiles with care and technique, and we never walk on the panels themselves.
Will you promise my panels will produce more power after cleaning?
No, we won’t quote you a performance number. We don’t have access to your system’s output data, so promising a percentage would be a guess. What we will tell you is that customers report a noticeable jump once the dirt layer comes off, and what we guarantee is panels that come back spotless and dry, documented on video before and after.
Will walking on my roof crack the tiles?
No. Tile is walked with technique built over several years of doing it, with weight placed where the tile carries it, so nothing cracks underfoot. We access the array from the roof and clean the panels from there; the panels themselves are never walked on. That same sure-footing on tile is what lets us offer soft-wash roof cleaning for algae and moss, so if your tiles need attention too, just ask. There are roofs we turn down, though: if the pitch is too steep to walk safely, if reaching the roofline needs more ladder than we carry, or if it’s a windy day, we say no rather than take a risk on your property or ourselves.
Do I need to be home when you clean my solar panels?
No. Solar panel cleaning is exterior work, so we just need access to the array and an outside spigot; leave a side gate unlocked and you don’t need to be there. We film the array before and after and send you both videos, so you can see exactly what was done whether or not you were home.
