Panel Cleaning

Solar panels spend every day exposed to the outdoor environment. Over time, dust, dirt, leaves, and other debris can collect on the surface of the panels and eventually affect how much solar energy your system produces. Like anything in life, if you keep it clean and well maintained, it will last. The same goes for your solar panel system.

Rehab Solar provides solar panel cleaning for homeowners throughout San Diego County. We offer yearly or every-other-year cleaning plans for homeowners who want cleaning scheduled as part of regular solar system upkeep.

Why Solar Panels Need Cleaning

Solar panels are designed to operate outdoors, but that does not mean the glass stays clean indefinitely. The amount of buildup varies depending on the property and surrounding conditions. Dust, airborne debris, leaves, and other material can settle on the array and gradually cover portions of the panel surface.

Cleaning removes that accumulated material and gives the panels a clean surface again. However, cleaning is different from troubleshooting an electrical or production problem. If your system has stopped producing, is displaying errors, or your electric bill has changed unexpectedly, our system troubleshooting service is a better starting point.

Cleaning as Part of Solar Maintenance

Panel cleaning can also be combined with broader system upkeep. During the life of a solar system, components may need attention for reasons unrelated to dirt on the panels. If you are concerned about damaged, worn, or aging components, learn more about our solar maintenance and repair services.
