Solar Panel Cleaning in Rollingwood
A solar array in Rollingwood 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 Rollingwood glass is up against
Older divided-light sashes on the original parts of the house, alongside modern sliding and picture glass on additions. The old sashes are slow work because every small pane is detailed by hand.
- Heavy tree cover
- Rollingwood's canopy is among the densest in the area, which means constant leaf litter, sap and a shaded damp that grows film on north elevations.
- Tight lots and narrow streets
- Access is on foot from the street for most houses. We plan the carry rather than blocking a neighbor's drive.
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 Rollingwood
Rollingwood is mostly mid-century houses on wooded lots, many of them extended rather than rebuilt. That means a mix of original timber sashes and newer glazed additions on the same house, which take different handling. The streets are narrow and the lots are tight, so we park once and carry in rather than moving the van around.
What it costs
We do not price Rollingwood 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 Rollingwood — 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.
Do you cover my street in Rollingwood?
