Common questions
How often should I clean my solar panels?
Cleaning frequency depends on the manufacturer’s guidance, site conditions, output data, access, and visible buildup. Bay Area pollen, bird droppings, dust, and mineral deposits are conditions to inspect. Compare monitored output before assigning a production effect to soiling.
How much does solar panel cleaning cost?
Residential rates range from $175 to $350 based on panel count. Maintenance plans offer 10-15% discounts. Gutter cleaning and bird proofing are quoted for the property.
Are you certified to clean solar panels?
Yes. Total Solar Cleaning holds an International Solar Cleaning Association certificate, which is available to view on this page. Ask the panel manufacturer or warranty provider to confirm any maintenance requirements that apply to your system.
Do you need a contractor’s license for this work?
From Total Solar Cleaning’s own FAQ: “In California, solar panel cleaning does not require a contractor’s license - it is a maintenance service, not a construction trade.”
What else do you clean besides solar panels?
Gutter cleaning and bird proofing. Bird activity under panels can create nesting debris, and critter guard mesh is installed to block access. Mesh still needs inspection over time.
