Solar Panel Cleaning in Arlington, VA
Pure-water solar panel cleaning across Arlington — North Arlington bungalows, South Arlington townhomes, and the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor. Flat per-panel pricing, fully insured, same-business-day quote from a crew based right here.
why it matters —
Dirty panels = lost power.
Studies from NREL and academic field tests show that dust, pollen, and bird droppings can knock 5–25% off a panel's output — and in heavy-soil seasons (spring pollen, summer dust storms, fall leaf drop) the drop is even worse. A clean array pays itself back fast.
More kWh, same panels
We pull off the film of pollen, dust, and droppings so your inverter sees the production it was sized for — not a derated version of it.
Safe for every panel
Deionized water, soft brushes, no detergents, no abrasives. Won't void your panel warranty and won't scratch the anti-reflective coating.
Insured roof work
Full general liability, auto, and workers' comp. Water-fed pole rigs let us clean most arrays without ever stepping on your roof.

Why Arlington's urban dust eats solar production
Arlington panels see something most of Northern Virginia doesn't: traffic film. Brake-dust, road grit, and pollen ride the air off I-66, GW Parkway, and Route 50 and settle on glass. That dark film blocks more light per gram than pollen alone — which is why Arlington solar owners often see disproportionate production gains after a clean. We typically recommend twice a year here: post-pollen in late May and post-leaf in November.
Townhomes, condos, and HOAs
A lot of Arlington solar lives on townhome roofs or condo buildings with shared structures. We work directly with HOAs and condo managers, send a Certificate of Insurance ahead of time, and schedule around quiet hours when buildings ask. Per-panel pricing stays the same — what changes is how we stage the access setup.

Yes — many Arlington solar installs are on lower-pitch or even flat townhome roofs. We adapt the access setup to the roof, not the other way around, and we're fully insured for either.
