Solar panel Cleaning
Why Choose Salvo Window Cleaning for Solar Panel Cleaning?
Protect and Maximize Your Solar Investment
Solar panels are built to be low maintenance, and in many residential settings, rain, wind, and snow naturally remove much of the dust buildup. For most homes, professional solar panel cleaning is typically only needed every two to three years unless appearance is a concern.
When Professional Cleaning Makes a Difference
Certain conditions can significantly reduce solar efficiency and require more frequent cleaning. Panels affected by nearby trees, bird droppings, low-slope or flat roofs, construction dust, highway pollution, or pest activity benefit greatly from professional care. When sunlight can’t fully reach the photovoltaic cells, energy production drops—and so does system efficiency.
Panel Inspection Included with Every Cleaning
During every solar panel cleaning, we inspect your system for visible issues such as cracks, residue buildup, or clouding that may impact performance. We also remove accessible debris or infestations that could interfere with proper operation over time.
Pest Prevention & Roof Protection
Birds and small animals can nest beneath panels, creating moisture buildup, foul odors, and potential roof damage. Droppings can also wash into gutters, patios, or yards, creating health concerns for people and pets. While many systems include pest barriers, gaps or failures can occur. If we notice exposed areas, we’ll address them to help protect your panels and roof from further damage.

Our Solar Panel Cleaning Process
Pure Water Technology
Salvo Window Cleaning uses 100% TDS-free pure water, meaning all dissolved minerals and particles are removed so nothing is left behind on your panels. Our multi-stage filtration system—including carbon filtration, reverse osmosis, and deionization—ensures a spotless, residue-free clean that won’t cloud the glass or reduce efficiency.
Step 1: Safety Walkthrough
Before cleaning begins, our technicians complete a full safety walkthrough of your property. This allows us to identify potential hazards, plan the safest approach, and notify you of any issues that could affect system performance or long-term efficiency.
Step 2: Pure Water Cleaning
Using a carbon fiber water-fed pole and glass-safe brush, we gently clean the solar panels with purified water. This process safely lifts dirt and buildup without chemicals, leaving behind only pure water that evaporates clean for streak-free results.
Step 3: Debris & Nest Removal
When necessary, we manually remove debris such as leaves, pine needles, or nesting materials using proper safety equipment. Our trained team is equipped to handle this carefully without causing damage to your panels or roof.
Step 4: System Inspection & Protection
After cleaning, we inspect the panels for visible damage, identify pest entry points, and cover gaps or openings when possible. This helps protect your solar system, improve performance, and reduce the risk of future issues.
Why clean your solar panels?
For most residential homes under normal conditions, we recommend professional solar panel cleaning every 2–3 years. However, more frequent service may be needed if your panels are affected by:
Nearby trees or heavy pollen
Significant bird droppings
Flat or low-sloped roofs
Dust from highways or nearby construction
Signs of pest activity beneath panels
Major weather events or wildfire smoke
A noticeable drop in energy production
Keeping panels clean helps ensure maximum sunlight exposure and optimal system efficiency.
Our People Make the Difference
Safety Is Our Standard
Safety is our top priority—for both our customers and our technicians. We take extensive precautions to minimize risk, protect your property, and eliminate any liability concerns while working on rooftops and elevated surfaces.
Professionally Trained Technicians
Every technician is background-checked and skill-tested before stepping onto a job site. Team members complete hands-on training from the ground up and are only approved for ladder and roof work once they’ve demonstrated proper technique and safety awareness.
Ongoing Safety Training
We provide continuous education throughout the year, covering OSHA standards, best practices, and real-world scenarios. Our training includes demonstrations, refreshers, and ongoing evaluations to maintain a strong safety record.
Personal Fall Protection Required
When working on roofs, our technicians use personal fall protection systems, including harnesses and roof anchors when possible. If a roof anchor cannot be safely installed, we adjust our approach and complete more work from ladders rather than accessing the roof directly.
Team-Based Approach for Complex Jobs
For more challenging solar panel cleaning projects, we schedule multiple technicians to assist with ladders and safety support. Our CRM system tracks detailed notes for each property, allowing us to assign our most experienced team members when added complexity or risk is present.
Fully Insured for Your Peace of Mind
Salvo Window Cleaning carries full General Liability and Worker’s Compensation insurance. You are never responsible for accidents or damage—our safety procedures and insurance coverage protect both your home and our team at all times.
