Solar Panel Cleaning In Prescott Valley, AZ
Desert dust, pollen and bird droppings scrubbed off rooftop and ground arrays across Prescott Valley and Prescott with soft brushes and deionized water, using poles the owner builds for solar work.
Dirty panels make less power
A film of high desert dust is enough to cut what a panel produces, and a hose only spreads the minerals around.
Prescott Valley has a lot of rooftop solar and a lot of dust. Spring winds, pollen and monsoon rain leave a film that dries hard on the glass, and the hard water from a garden hose adds its own spots. A clean panel takes in more light, and a panel cleaned with pure water stays clean longer because nothing is left in the water to dry.
Phillip Alexander builds water fed poles for the window cleaning trade, including a non-conductive line made for solar work, and trains with the industry on solar cleaning. The panels are brushed with soft bristles and rinsed with deionized water, from the ground wherever the roof allows, with no soap, no pressure and no scratching.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should solar panels be cleaned in Prescott Valley?
Once or twice a year for most homes, usually after the spring winds and again after the monsoon. Panels near a dirt road or under trees may want it more often.
Can I just hose my panels off?
A hose spreads the dust around and the hard water dries into spots that hold more dust. Soft brushing with deionized water lifts the film and leaves nothing behind.
Will cleaning scratch the panels?
No. Soft bristles and pure water only, no pressure and no abrasives. The brushes are the same ones used on window glass.
Do you clean ground mounted arrays?
Yes. Ground mounts, carports and commercial rooftops are all on the route, including the larger properties in Chino Valley and Dewey-Humboldt.
Is it safe to clean panels with water?
Yes, with the right equipment. We use non-conductive poles built for solar work and never walk on the panels.
