Solar Panel Cleaning

Step-by-Step Guide to Solar Panel Cleaning with Deionized Water

At Legacy Softwash, we use advanced cleaning techniques to maintain your solar panels' efficiency and longevity. Our process uses deionized water and a water-fed pole system to safely remove dirt, dust, and debris without leaving streaks or spots. Regular cleaning keeps your solar panels operating at peak performance.

​

Step 1: Initial Inspection and Safety Check
We start by inspecting your solar panel system to assess dirt buildup, bird droppings, pollen, and other contaminants that may affect performance. We also ensure that the area is safe to work in and take precautions to protect the panels and surrounding areas.

​

Step 2: Setting Up the Deionized Water System
Our state-of-the-art deionized water system purifies the water by removing all minerals and impurities, resulting in a streak-free and spotless clean. This pure water, combined with our water-fed pole system, effectively lifts grime and residue without leaving any mineral deposits.

​

Step 3: Gentle Cleaning with Water-Fed Pole
We use a telescoping water-fed pole equipped with soft-bristle brushes to gently scrub the panels while delivering a continuous flow of deionized water. This method ensures that dust, dirt, and contaminants are safely lifted without scratching or damaging the surface of the solar panels.

​

Step 4: Rinse and Air Dry
After thoroughly cleaning the panels, the deionized water naturally air-dries without leaving streaks or spots. This is crucial for maintaining maximum sunlight absorption and ensuring optimal panel performance.

​

Step 5: Final Inspection and Performance Check
Once the cleaning is complete, we perform a final inspection to ensure every panel is spotless and free of residue. We also check for any signs of damage or maintenance issues and inform you of our findings.

​

Step 6: Clean-Up and Maintenance Tips
After completing the job, we tidy up the work area and pack away our equipment. We provide recommendations on how often to clean your solar panels based on environmental factors and panel location to maintain peak efficiency.
