No Chemicals

Deionized water, always
Pure water dries spot-free, so nothing is left on the glass to block the light.
Pollen, Droppings and Coastal Grime
Rain does not clean solar panels — it leaves a film of dust, pollen and minerals behind, and in Victoria that mixes with tree sap, bird droppings and coastal salt into a layer that quietly cuts how much power the panels make.
Panels across Greater Victoria sit under pollen-heavy firs and coastal salt air, so a film of dust, sap, droppings and grime builds up on the glass. Every bit of that film blocks light, and less light means less power — a dirty array can produce noticeably less than a clean one.
What Dirty Panels Cost You
It is not just the look. Every layer of grime on the glass is power you paid for and aren’t getting.
- Lost output — dirty panels make less power than clean ones
- Hot spots where droppings and shade stress the cells
- Baked-on grime that gets harder to remove the longer it sits
Pure, Deionized Water
We clean with deionized water and soft brushes, not tap water or chemicals. Pure water lifts the grime and dries spot-free, with nothing left on the glass to block the light or streak the surface.
No Chemicals, No Abrasives
Harsh chemicals and stiff pads scratch the coating and can void the warranty, so we never use them. Just soft brushes and pure water, safe for the panel surface and seals.
Never High Pressure
High pressure can force water past the seals and crack cells, so we clean at low pressure only — gentle on the glass, the frame and the wiring.
Safe Roof Access
Rooftop arrays are reached from ladders fitted with standoffs, so nothing leans on the roof or the panels and we stay stable and safe.
Fully Insured, $3M
WorkSafe BC in good standing and $3 million liability coverage, so your property and our crew are covered from the moment we arrive.
Our Solar Cleaning Process
Four Steps to Panels That Produce
A clear, methodical approach, from safe access to a final walk-around, so you know exactly what to expect.
Safe Setup & Access
We set up standoffs for safe roof access and check the array before anything touches the glass.
Inspect the Array
We check for cracked cells, loose clamps, droppings and shading, and flag anything that needs attention before we start.
Pure-Water Wash
Each panel is washed with soft brushes and deionized water, then left to dry spot-free with nothing on the glass.
Check & Walk-Around
We confirm the panels are clean and clear, tidy up, and walk the job with you before we go.
Complete Solar Care Across Greater Victoria
From a rooftop home array to a large commercial or ground-mount installation, there is a safe, warranty-friendly method for it.
Residential Solar Cleaning
Rooftop home arrays cleaned with pure water and soft brushes, so they go back to producing full power.
Commercial & Ground-Mount
Larger commercial and ground-mount arrays cleaned on a schedule that keeps output up and downtime down.
Pure-Water Cleaning
Deionized water that dries spot-free, so nothing is left on the glass to block the light.
Bird Dropping & Sap Removal
Droppings, tree sap and baked-on grime lifted off the glass without scratching the coating.
Output Restoration
A dirty array cleaned back to clear glass, so the panels make the power you paid for.
Scheduled Maintenance
Regular cleans through the year keep production steady — most arrays here benefit once or twice a year.
Roof Cleaning
Moss and grime cleared off the roof around the array, often booked on the same visit. We also do roof cleaning in Greater Victoria.
Gutter Cleaning
Every channel cleared and downspout flushed, from $235, often booked alongside the panels. See gutter cleaning.
Need more than the panels?
We also handle roof cleaning, gutter cleaning and pressure washing across Greater Victoria — many homeowners do the whole roof in one visit.
It Pays for Itself in Power
Cleaning is one of the cheapest ways to protect a solar investment. Every layer of grime on the glass is output — and money — you are not getting back.
Per-Panel Pricing
From a $225 minimum, then quoted by the number of panels and the access. You get the number before we start.
No Chemicals
Deionized water and soft brushes only, safe for the panels and the warranty.

If It's Not Right, We Come Back
If we miss a panel or you’re not happy with the result, we come back and put it right at no extra cost — a specific promise rather than a vague one.
The Proof
The Array That Was Barely Working
It is easy to assume solar panels look after themselves. They don’t. Under Victoria’s pollen and coastal grime a rooftop array can quietly lose a chunk of its output before anyone notices — and a proper pure-water clean brings the glass, and the power, straight back.

Most arrays here benefit from a clean once or twice a year, more often under heavy tree cover or near the water where sap and salt build up fast.
