Top 5 Reasons to Clean Solar Panels Before Summer

May 2, 2025

Solar Cleaning: Why Timing Matters

As summer approaches, our schedule tends to fill up very fast. By scheduling your cleaning appointment in Spring, you avoid the peak-season rush and start Summer with sparkling clean panels.
Make sure your system is fully prepped before the most demanding months of the year.

#1: Post-Pollen Spring Cleaning

If you're a native to North Carolina, you know how bad the pollen can be in the Spring. Most panels are left with a yellow-ish film coating that can block sunlight and reduce efficiency. Even rain can't remove the sticky buildup completely.
A professional spring cleaning for your solar panels ensures they are pollen-free and hinders future buildup to keep them working efficiently for the long summer days ahead.

#2: Maximize Summer Solar Production

Most homeowners see higher energy  production during the summer months due to the longer sunlight hours and better angles. There are also fewer cloudy, dreary days like in the previous Fall, Spring and Winter months.
If your panels are dirty, you won't fully benefit from North Carolina's Summer sunshine.

#3: Save on Cooling Costs

Your AC system will likely be running full-time or near it throughout the summer. A more efficient solar system can offset those higher bills, but only if it's performing its best. Filthy panels that aren't collecting full sun are going to dull your production.

#4: Catch Potential Issues Before Peak Heat

Our professional cleanings are not just for making them shine again. We also perform a thorough visual inspection of your system to help catch issues early on. This can be anything from wear, loose or frayed wires, pest damage, or other panel issues.
Not every homeowner can or wants to get on their roof to inspect their panels - so we do it for you! Catch issues before the long summer days start!
