Residential

Residential solar panel cleaning. Done from the ground.

We clean almost every residential rooftop array from the ground using a 24- to 45-foot carbon-fiber water-fed pole. No ladders touching your gutters, no boots on your tile, no liability on your roof. The setup runs purified water through the pole tip; the soft brush agitates the soiling and the rinse leaves the glass spotless.

What do homeowners ask about Residential?

Do you walk on my roof?

Almost never. Our standard process uses a ground-based water-fed pole that reaches 24 to 45 feet. We only access the roof when the geometry of the array makes it physically necessary, and we use roof-safe footwear and harness.

What if my panels are on a steep tile roof?

Tile roofs are exactly why we use the pole method. We don't crack tiles, we don't slip, and we don't void your roof warranty. If the array is so steep we can't reach the back row from the ground, we may use a small cherry picker for that portion.

Can you clean the panels and check for shading?

Yes. While we're up there with the pole we look for new tree growth, antenna installations, or roof projections that may be casting shadows. We'll text you photos and recommend trimming if a tree is the issue.

Service area

Where do we offer Residential in San Diego County?

We provide residential in every city and community in San Diego County. Pick your city for local climate notes and service specifics.

Central Residential in San Diego Central San Diego has dense urban tree pollen and mild marine influence. San Diego arrays typically need cleaning every 9 months — sooner if you are under heavy bird traffic from a neighboring property or near a park.
North Coastal Residential in Oceanside North Coastal homes range from 1970s beach stock in Encinitas to new-build HOA communities in Carlsbad — both affected by marine humidity year-round. Oceanside installs lean toward two-stage or variable-speed systems to handle long mild shoulder seasons efficiently.
North Coastal Residential in Carlsbad North Coastal homes range from 1970s beach stock in Encinitas to new-build HOA communities in Carlsbad — both affected by marine humidity year-round. Carlsbad installs lean toward two-stage or variable-speed systems to handle long mild shoulder seasons efficiently.
North County Inland Residential in Escondido North County Inland hits triple-digit summer heat with low humidity — opposite of coastal. Escondido homes need properly sized condensers and good attic insulation; undersized systems in this zone get called out for failure every July and August.
East County Residential in El Cajon East County summers bring desert dust from the I-8 corridor and Anza-Borrego pull-throughs. El Cajon arrays pick up heavy soiling fast — production drops of 20-25% are not unusual without quarterly cleaning. Hard-water spotting from sprinkler overspray is also common here.
South County Residential in Chula Vista South County panels deal with coastal salt to the west and Otay Mesa industrial dust to the east. Chula Vista homes typically need cleaning every 6-8 months — the layered film does not rinse off in rain and requires a full deionized soft wash.

Real feedback

Homeowners who hired us for this

We hadn't cleaned our panels in two years. They came out the same week, did the soft-wash deionized rinse, and showed me the production jump in our Enphase app the next day. About 11% more daily kWh. Clear price up front, no upsell.

Melissa R. Solar Panel Cleaning · Carlsbad

Got three quotes for a recurring maintenance plan. Solar Pros was the only one that actually explained the soiling math under NEM 3.0 and showed me data, not a sales pitch. Their plan price was fair and they pull production reports for me each visit.

David K. Maintenance Plan · El Cajon

Pigeons had nested under our panels for almost a year — droppings everywhere and our production was tanking. They installed the critter-guard mesh and did a deep clean in one visit. Cleaner roof, no more bird noise, production back to normal within a week.
