Plan quoteAsk for visit scope and recurring termsCommon 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?
The client’s FAQ, checked October 4, 2026, gives $175 to $350 as a typical residential range. Request a site-specific quote and ask what a maintenance plan covers, its visit interval and recurring terms. Gutter cleaning and bird proofing are scoped separately.
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?
Requirements depend on the actual job, including any installation work. Check the complete scope with the California Contractors State License Board before assuming a licence exemption. The displayed ISCA training certificate is not a contractor’s licence.
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.
