Solar Panel Cleaning in Barton Creek
A solar array in Barton Creek spends its life under cedar pollen and limestone dust, and every layer of that is output you paid for and are not getting. Here is what cleaning does and does not do.
Why panels lose output
Dust and pollen scatter light before it reaches the cell. The loss is gradual, so nobody notices until they compare a month to the same month last year. Bird mess is worse, because it blocks a cell completely and the array works around it.

What's included
- Pure water washing of all exterior glass
- Detailing of edges and corners so no drips are left behind
- Wiping of exterior frames and sills
- Ladder and extension pole work for second-story and high windows
- Treatment of light hard water spots where the glass allows it
How panels are cleaned
Pure water and a soft brush on a pole, from the ground or from a ladder at the eaves. No detergent, which can leave a film that attracts more dust, and no pressure, which can force water past the seals.
What Barton Creek glass is up against
Large custom elevations facing the course or the canyon, often two storeys above a terraced garden, and frequently with coated or tinted glass that needs identifying before anything is scraped.
- Oak sap and pollen
- Mature live oaks drop sap as well as pollen. Sap bonds to glass and has to be scraped off carefully, particularly on coated panes.
- Terraced access
- Greenbelt-side elevations drop away sharply. Ladder footing is planned before anything goes up, and poles are used where footing is not safe.
What we will not do
We do not walk on roofs, and we do not touch wiring, inverters or mounting. If an array can only be reached by walking the roof, that is a job for a solar contractor, not us.
Working in Barton Creek
Barton Creek houses tend to be large, custom and set back behind mature oaks, with the best glass facing either the fairway or the greenbelt drop. Two things make that glass hard work: course irrigation that reaches the pane, and a tree canopy that drops sap as well as pollen. Sap has to be scraped rather than washed, which is the part a quick visit usually skips.
What it costs
We do not price Barton Creek work from a table. We look at the property, count the glass, check the access, then give you a written price with no obligation. Your card is charged after the work is done, not before.

Solar Panel Cleaning in Barton Creek — common questions
Does cleaning solar panels actually improve output?
Yes, where dust, pollen or bird mess has built up. The dirtier the array, the bigger the difference.
How often should panels be cleaned?
Once or twice a year suits most arrays here, more after a heavy cedar season.
Do you use chemicals?
No. Pure water and a soft brush. Detergent leaves a film that collects more dust.
Will you walk on my roof to reach them?
No. We work from the ground or a ladder at the eaves. If that will not reach, we will say so.
Do you touch the wiring or inverter?
No. We clean the glass surface only. Anything electrical is for your solar contractor.
