Commercial Solar
Panel Cleaning
Professional solar panel cleaning services that maximize energy production, protect your investment, and maintain optimal efficiency for commercial solar installations across California, Nevada, and Arizona.


Why This Service Matters:
Commercial solar panels accumulate dust, dirt, bird droppings, pollen, and environmental contaminants that significantly reduce energy production efficiency. Studies show that dirty solar panels can lose 15-25% of their energy output, directly impacting your return on investment and sustainability goals. SDI’s advanced solar panel cleaning services utilize cutting-edge Sunbotics robotic cleaning systems, C1000 waterfed rotary brushes, and soft water under 30ppm designed specifically for photovoltaic surfaces. Our 25+ certified technicians understand the delicate nature of solar equipment and employ advanced technology including lift trucks and self-contained vehicles that minimize personnel risk while maximizing cleaning efficiency. With 35 years of commercial service excellence and trusted by industry leaders like Universal Studios, Disney, Vons, and Ralphs, we serve commercial solar installations throughout California, Nevada, and Arizona, helping businesses maximize their solar investment while maintaining manufacturer warranty compliance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How often should commercial solar panels be professionally cleaned?
Most commercial solar installations benefit from quarterly cleaning, though frequency depends on location and environmental factors. Properties in dusty areas, near construction, or with significant bird activity may require monthly service. Coastal locations may need more frequent cleaning due to salt accumulation. We can recommend an optimal schedule based on your specific site conditions.
Will cleaning damage my solar panels or void warranties?
Professional cleaning using appropriate methods actually helps maintain warranty compliance. Our purified water systems and soft-bristle techniques are designed specifically for photovoltaic surfaces and follow manufacturer guidelines. Proper cleaning protects your investment and maintains optimal performance without warranty concerns.
How much energy production improvement can I expect?
Clean solar panels typically produce 15-25% more energy than dirty ones, though improvement varies based on contamination level and local conditions. Many clients see immediate production increases after professional cleaning. We can provide efficiency documentation to help track your system's performance improvements.
Do you work on all types of commercial solar installations?
Yes, our technicians are trained to work with various commercial solar configurations including rooftop arrays, ground-mounted systems, carport installations, and tracking systems. We have the equipment and expertise to safely access and clean installations of all sizes and configurations.
