Professional Solar Panel
Cleaning in Chicago
Dirty solar panels lose up to 25% of their energy output. Our professional solar panel cleaning service restores peak efficiency, helping you save more on energy bills.
Pollen, bird droppings, dust, and hard-water mineral deposits build up on panels season after season, creating a film that blocks sunlight before it ever reaches the cells. Chicago's mix of lake-effect humidity and urban particulate makes the problem worse than in drier climates. Our technicians use purified, deionized water and soft-bristle tools to lift grime without scratching the tempered glass or voiding manufacturer warranties. Most residential systems are finished in under an hour, and homeowners typically see a measurable bump in energy production within the first billing cycle after cleaning.

How often should solar panels be cleaned?
The right cleaning schedule depends on your location, the tilt of your panels, and the environment around your home.
- 01 Once or Twice a Year For most Chicagoland homes, a professional cleaning once or twice per year is enough to maintain peak output. We recommend scheduling in early spring after pollen season and again in late fall once leaves have dropped.
- 02 Near Trees or Construction If your home is surrounded by mature trees, close to a busy road, or near an active construction site, dust and debris accumulate faster. In these cases, cleaning every four to six months keeps efficiency high.
- 03 After Severe Weather Heavy storms, hail, and Chicago's notorious lake-effect snow can leave behind residue that rain alone won't wash away. A quick post-storm cleaning prevents long-term buildup and lets your panels recover full output immediately.
- 04 Monitor Your Energy Bill A sudden or gradual dip in energy production is often the first sign that panels need attention. If your monthly output drops more than 10% without a change in weather patterns, it's time to schedule a cleaning.
- 05 Never Use Harsh Chemicals Abrasive cleaners, high-pressure water, and even hard tap water can scratch the glass or leave mineral spots that reduce light absorption. Our team uses only purified, deionized water and manufacturer-approved soft tools to keep your warranty intact.
