What Affects the Price

  • Number of panels. More panels means more time and more water
  • Roof pitch and height. A steep roof or a second story takes more setup and care
  • How dirty the panels are. Years of buildup, residue and baked-on pollen take longer than a light dusting
  • One-time or recurring. Scheduled cleanings are priced differently from a first visit
  • Other services on the same visit, such as windows or pressure washing

Why We Quote Each Home

Two homes with the same number of panels can take very different amounts of work. That's why we ask about your panel count, roof type, number of stories and when the panels were last cleaned, then give you a free, no-obligation quote. It beats a one-size-fits-all number that's wrong for your roof.

One-Time vs. Recurring

Your first cleaning is full price, which lets us do the job right from the start. After that, every scheduled cleaning comes at a discounted recurring rate. Our Sarasota cleaning schedule shows how often most homes need it.

How to Think About the Value

A cleaning protects two things: your output and your equipment. As an illustration only, if your system produces $1,500 of electricity in a year, a 10% loss from dirt would cost you $150 a year. Your real numbers depend on your system, your roof and the season. See how much energy dirty panels lose for the range.

The bigger reason is protection. Heavy residue and baked-on buildup can shade cells and, in some cases, contribute to hot spots, which is covered in how dirty panels get damaged. Replacing damaged panels costs far more than keeping them clean.

Cheap Isn't the Same as Right

Before you hire anyone, ask what they use and whether they're insured. Be wary of cleaners who use harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, a pressure washer or ordinary tap water, since any of these can leave spots or scratch the glass coating. Our DIY vs. professional guide explains the risks.
