Solar Panel Cleaning in McLean, VA
Pure-water solar panel cleaning across McLean — Langley to Pimmit Hills. Flat per-panel pricing, fully insured, same-business-day quote. We come over from Arlington daily and route through McLean every week.
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.

Pure-water rinse

- 3
Hand-detail edges & droppings

Why McLean solar production drops by August
McLean's spring is brutal on south-facing arrays. Pollen from the mature oak canopy across Langley and Chesterbrook layers on the glass through April, and the summer dust settles on top. Most McLean arrays we audit in late summer are running 8–15% below their inverter's rated output — recovered fully after one pure-water clean. A spring + fall cadence keeps production flat year-round.
How we handle McLean's tall rooflines
Langley estate homes with 3-story foyers also tend to have 3-story array mounts. We use extended water-fed pole rigs that reach those arrays without anyone setting foot on the roof. On the rare access that requires it, we use proper fall protection — and we'd rather not walk your panels at all. We carry a current Certificate of Insurance for any HOA or estate manager who asks before we start.
