Safety is our top priority! We use OSHA-compliant fall protection gear (harnesses, anchors) and never work on steep roofs without stabilization. Our team is trained in rooftop safety protocols, and we assess your roof’s condition before starting. We also avoid walking directly on panels—we use ladders and platforms to distribute weight evenly.

Yes—it definitely matters! Most homeowners need cleaning every 6–12 months, but it depends on your environment:

Dusty/desert areas: Every 3–6 months.

Coastal/tropical areas (pollen/birds): Every 4–8 months.

After storms or heavy pollen seasons: ASAP!
Dirty panels can lose 5–25% of their efficiency, so regular cleaning saves you money on your electric bill long-term.

While DIY is tempting, we strongly recommend against it. Here’s why:

Risk of damage: Abrasive sponges, high-pressure washers, or harsh chemicals can scratch the anti-reflective coating (permanently reducing output).

Safety hazards: Rooftop falls are a leading cause of DIY accidents.

Incomplete cleaning: Pros use specialized tools (soft brushes, pH-neutral soap) to remove tough grime (like bird droppings) without harming panels.
Hiring a pro ensures your investment stays protected and performs optimally.

Beyond boosting efficiency, cleaning extends your system’s lifespan! Dust, pollen, and bird droppings trap moisture, which can corrode wiring or degrade seals over time. Regular cleaning prevents this wear-and-tear, helping your panels last 25+ years (their expected lifespan). Plus, clean panels look better and maintain your home’s curb appeal!
