Solar Panel Cleaning
Santa Monica solar arrays fight constant marine salt fog and one of LA's highest residential adoption rates. We restore peak output with a coastal, warranty-safe wash.
Local Conditions
Santa Monica has one of the highest residential solar adoption rates on the Westside, and one of the harder coastal soiling environments. Marine salt fog rolls in nearly every morning and deposits a microscopic mineral film on every panel surface within days of rinsing. Combined with basin dust, vehicle emissions from the freeway corridor, and the bird droppings that come with the city's mature street trees, Santa Monica arrays routinely lose 20–30% of rated output by the end of a dry season. Standard cleaning leaves coastal residue behind that ordinary cleaners can't address.
Our Santa Monica solar crews use purified deionized water with a coastal pre-treat to lift salt before agitation. Soft-bristle telescoping poles handle the wash, and we work from the ground when possible. Every visit includes a soft-rinse pre-soak, gentle agitation to lift bonded particulate, a final spot-free rinse, and a visual inspection of mounting hardware and accessible wiring. Before/after photos document every job.
We're licensed and insured ($1M/$2M), and our coastal cleaning protocol is specifically built for the salt-air challenges Santa Monica arrays face. Our recurring quarterly program is the most popular Santa Monica package — it's the only cadence that keeps salt-exposed panels at true peak output.
