Solar Panel Cleaning
in Austin, TX
Dust and Pollen
on Your Austin Solar Panels
A film of dust and pollen settles on your solar panels and quietly cuts how much power they make. Spring oak pollen and the dust that blows in over dry stretches build that film up fastest. At ATX Clean Pressure Washing, our crew scrubs each panel with a soft-bristle brush fed by a water-purification system, so the glass dries spot-free. Call (512) 379-6087 and we will get your panels clean again.
The Solar Array
Types We Clean
Rooftop, ground-mounted or a commercial array — every panel gets the same gentle, careful clean.
Residential Rooftop Arrays
These are the panels fixed to your house roof, so they often get cleaned alongside a roof cleaning visit. We clean the glass in place with purified water and a soft brush, so it comes out streak-free.
Ground-Mounted Arrays
These sit on a frame in your yard instead of on the roof. They get the identical purified-water, soft-brush clean, handled no differently than a rooftop array.
Commercial Arrays
Commercial arrays get the same purified-water, soft-brush clean as a residential rooftop. We schedule around your hours, and before-and-after photos go to the property manager when the job is done.
What Sets Our Solar
Panel Cleaning Apart
Your panel is really glass sitting over the cells that make your power, so how we clean it matters as much as the cleaning itself.
The Same Method We Trust on Exterior Windows
Your panels get the same no-streak method as our exterior window cleaning: a water-fed pole, a water-purification system and a soft-bristle brush. Purified water leaves no minerals behind to dry onto the surface and shade the cells underneath.
No Pressure and No Harsh Chemicals on Your Panels
This is a gentle clean by design. Purified water and a soft brush lift the film, with no pressure on the panels and no harsh chemicals, so nothing about the cleaning puts the glass at risk.

How Our Solar
Panel Cleaning Works
The Free Estimate
Reach out by call, text, email or our online form, and a real person picks up to ask what you need cleaned. Your estimate is free, handled in person, over the phone or online, whichever suits you. We price the job by its size and scope, so you know the number before any work starts.
Approve and Book
Every job runs on a signed estimate. Once you approve yours, a 30% deposit on a card on file puts you on the schedule.
Reminders and the Heads-Up
You get a confirmation and reminders by email and text. The day before, we send a prep flyer, and you will hear from us again when the crew is on the way.
Scrubbing the Panels
On cleaning day, the crew works panel by panel, scrubbing the glass with the soft brush and purified water until the film lifts away.
The Spot-Free Rinse
A final rinse of purified water clears the last of it, and the panels dry clean, with no streaks or water spots on the glass.
Photos, Walk-Around and Payment
We take before-and-after photos and walk the results with you if you're home. The balance goes to the card on file once the job is done. If a panel still looks off when we're finished, say so and we will take care of it.

| Bundle & Save | Add another service to the visit, like a house washing, and move up a package level: Standard is about 5% off, Premium about 10%. Package pricing is for residential work, and we confirm your discount at the estimate. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Will cleaning my solar panels improve efficiency and lower my energy bill?
It is the question we hear most, and the honest answer is that clean glass lets your panels do the job they were installed for. Grime on the surface blocks some of the light before it reaches the cells, and clearing it away lets the light through again. Every system and roof is different, so rather than promise a specific percentage or dollar amount, we focus on getting the glass genuinely clean.
How long does solar panel cleaning take?
Most residential solar panel cleanings take about one to two hours. Larger arrays run a little longer, but a typical home is finished within that window.
