Solar Panel Cleaning Services

Keep Your Panels Performing at Peak Efficiency

Your solar panels can only produce power when they’re clean and clear. Over time, dust, pollen, bird droppings, and air pollution build up on the glass surface — blocking sunlight and cutting your energy output by up to 25%.


At 6 Star Power Washing, we offer professional solar panel cleaning services that restore efficiency, extend lifespan, and protect your investment.

Why Clean Solar Panels Matter

Even a thin film of dirt can reduce solar panel performance. Regular cleaning helps:

  • ☀️ Maximize Energy Production – More sunlight reaches the cells, improving your system’s efficiency and your return on investment.
  • 💧 Protect Your Investment – Prevents buildup of grime that can etch glass or damage protective coatings.
  • 🏠 Preserve System Warranty – Many manufacturers require routine cleanings to maintain warranty coverage.
  • 🌎 Support Sustainability – Clean panels mean cleaner, renewable energy with less waste and fewer repairs.

Our Safe, Professional Cleaning Process

At 6 Star Power Washing, we never use harsh detergents, high pressure, or anything that could harm your panels.


Here’s how we do it right:

  1. Inspection – We assess panel condition, placement, and soiling level.
  2. Pure Water Cleaning – We use deionized, spot-free water and soft brushes designed specifically for solar surfaces.
  3. Low-Pressure Rinse – Safely removes dirt, grime, and mineral buildup without damaging seals or frames.
  4. Performance Check – We visually verify panels are clean and streak-free so you get maximum light absorption.

All work is done using ladder-safe techniques, roof protection gear, and eco-friendly methods that meet or exceed manufacturer recommendations.

Residential Solar Panel Cleaning

Protect Your Home’s Power

Your home’s solar panels are constantly exposed to the elements — pollen in spring, dust in summer, leaves in fall, snow residue in winter. Our residential cleaning service keeps your panels producing at full capacity year-round, helping you save money and stay energy-efficient.


We recommend cleaning every 6 months for most Hudson Valley homes, or quarterly if you’re near trees, farms, or high-traffic roads.
