The Problem

Rain doesn't clean your panels. It makes them worse.

California rain carries dust, industrial soot, and calcium residues. When it evaporates, it leaves a film that blocks 15–30% of light from reaching your cells. Most commercial arrays haven't been professionally cleaned since installation.

That "clean" feeling after a rainstorm is an illusion. Your monitoring dashboard shows the gradual decline. You chalk it up to weather. It's not weather — it's soiling.

What I Do

Three services. Personal attention on every one.

Panel Cleaning

Rooftops, carports, ground arrays. DI water, soft-bristle rotary brushes, telescopic poles. No foot traffic on your roof. Every panel cleaned by hand — not dispatched.

Recurring Plans

Monthly or quarterly. Auto-scheduled. You don't have to remember to call — I show up when I say I will. Commercial properties with 50+ panels get the best rate on a recurring plan.

Visual Inspection

Every clean includes a visual panel inspection — checking for cracks, delamination, soiling hotspots, and connection issues. Photo report delivered after every visit.

ROI Case

The math is simple. The gap is real.

Consider a 200kW commercial array in the Sacramento or East Bay region. At current PPA rates (~$28/MWh), dirty panels cost you approximately $1,800 per month in lost energy production — against a cleaning bill of roughly $600–$900 per visit. Biannual cleaning pays for itself in the first month after each service.

$600 Estimated cleaning cost for 200kW array
$1,800 Monthly output loss from soiling (NorCal inland)
3.4x Monthly savings per cleaning visit

Based on 20% efficiency loss, $0.08/kWh avoided cost, 30-day soiling cycle. Actual results vary by location, system size, and environment.

One person. Northern California only. That's not a limitation — it's why you get personal service and fast turnaround from a solo operator who answers his own phone.

Commercial solar owners deserve better than dispatch.

The big cleaning companies don't answer phones. The franchise call centers route you to a regional manager who routes you to a crew that may or may not show up on schedule. Your panels don't get cleaned and you find out three months later when you pull the production report.

I'm one person. I schedule my own jobs, I show up, I clean every panel, I send you the photos. That's it. That's the whole model. No dispatch, no regional manager, no "we're in your area next month."

If you manage commercial solar assets and you're tired of fighting with your cleaning vendor, let's talk. I handle a limited number of properties — and that's intentional.

If something goes wrong — a panel gets damaged, a job runs long, the schedule needs to change — you call me. Not a dispatcher. Not a regional manager. Me. That's the accountability structure you get when there's one person responsible for everything.

Licensed, insured, and personally committed to every property I service. I carry $2M general liability coverage and I show up when I say I will.

One person. Personal service. Every panel matters.
