Solar Panel Maintenance

Why Keeping Your Panels Clean Matters

Your solar system is a major investment — here's what's quietly happening without regular maintenance.

Dust Builds Up Faster Than You Think

The IE sits in a bowl surrounded by desert, agriculture, and major freeways. Santa Ana winds push fine particulate matter across your roof constantly. A layer of dust, pollen, and road film blocks sunlight before it even reaches the cells.

Unlike rain-heavy climates where panels partially self-clean, IE's dry summers mean buildup bakes onto glass and gets harder to remove over time.

Dirty Panels Cost You Real Money

Soiling builds up every day it doesn't rain, and here that stretch runs May through October. Studies of Southwest solar systems measured buildup rates as high as 0.2% of output per day during dry periods — a gap that compounds through the sunniest months of the year.

Bird droppings and hard-water spots are worse: they don't rinse off with rain at all, and a single opaque spot can shut down an entire cell string.

The Wrong Cleaning Can Put Your Warranty at Risk

Improper methods — tap water, pressure washing, harsh chemicals — can permanently damage panels and put manufacturer coverage at risk. Our method is cleaned to manufacturer-recommended standards: deionized water, soft brush, no pressure, no chemicals.

The IE Is Harder on Panels Than Most Regions

IE tap water runs 300–500 TDS — among the highest in Southern California. Cleaning with it leaves mineral deposits that bake onto glass in the desert heat. Add wildfire smoke and agricultural dust and you've got conditions that demand more frequent cleaning than manufacturers typically expect.

"The Solar Company Installs It. Nobody Comes Back to Protect It."
I'm George. I've spent the last 10 years in the solar industry, so I knew everything about how panels worked — except how to clean them. So I figured, why not clean them myself — same way I'd wash my car. I grabbed a hose and some dish soap from under my sink and went for it.

Big mistake. My bill did drop again after that first clean, but the soap left a residue that collected dirt faster than before, and hard water left calcium buildup all over the panels. It took a lot of hard work to restore them back to normal.

That's why I started Inland Solar Care — so other homeowners wouldn't make the same mistake I did, and so I could build something of my own for my family. When I'm not on a roof, I'm usually outdoors hiking — it's what I love, and honestly it's part of why this work suits me. I'm based in Redlands, I run this business myself, and every job gets my full attention.

FAQ

Common Questions

How often should I clean my panels?
Twice a year for most IE homes. Near farms, freeways, or with bird activity: every 3–4 months. After major Santa Ana winds or wildfire smoke: as soon as possible.
Why not just use a garden hose?
IE tap water is 300–500 TDS. When it evaporates in the desert heat it leaves a mineral film that's harder to remove than the original dust — and it doesn't clean the cells properly.
Do you use chemicals or pressure washing?
Never. Pure RO/DI water and a soft brush — cleaned to manufacturer-recommended standards, which helps protect your warranty coverage.
Do I need to be home?
No. We just need access to an outdoor spigot. We text you photos and the condition report when done.
What if I'm not satisfied?
We come back and make it right at no charge. That's our guarantee on every job.
