Solar Panel Cleaning in Oxnard
Solar Panel Cleaning for Homeowners and Businesses
Kelly Cleaning offers solar panel cleaning for homes and businesses in Oxnard. Each job starts with a visual inspection for residue, shading problems and surface damage. Then the glass gets a low-pressure rinse of deionized water and a soft-bristle brush, with no harsh chemicals, and the inverter readout is checked before the crew leaves. One visit covers most systems. Family-owned in Ventura County since 1978.

On the roof and below it
Solar panels are one of several outdoor surfaces that collect dust. The gutters, windows and paving are the others.
Rain that runs off the panels ends up in the gutters, along with the dust, ash and bird droppings it carries. Gutter cleaning clears that buildup from the gutters and downspouts; the crew inspects the full system first and checks for clogs at the end, so water shed by the array can drain freely once winter storms come in.
Window cleaning and pressure washing handle what sits lower on the building. The same salt film and field dust that dims the panels lands on the glass, and our window crews clean it with eco-friendly agents, frames and screens included. Pressure washing takes mold, algae and grime off driveways, patios and walls, with the pressure set lower for wood than for concrete.

What Builds Up on Solar Panels
Panels in Oxnard pick up dirt from the ocean side and the farm side of town. Near the water, salt, pollen, bird droppings and pollution settle on the glass, and in a city whose economy includes agriculture, dust from open fields adds to it. Over time it forms a film that blocks some of the light the cells need, and the system makes less power on the same sunny day.
A dry year makes it worse, because there is not enough rain to rinse anything off. Our minimum is one cleaning a year. Arrays beside farm fields, a freeway or a recent fire belong on a shorter cycle, and so does any panel where the dirt is visible from the street.

Excellent service. Cannot be happier with their work. David Isaac came to do an assessment and was very professional and efficient. He sent me a quote on the same day.
The Kelly Cleaning team was outstanding! Our tenants with young children just vacated last week and it was left in rough condition! This wonderful team of 9 spent two days returning my property to near perfect condition.
Edgar and Randy did an amazing job! The carpet was in a rental and was a mess. We thought we would TRY cleaning it but didn't think it could come clean. They took their time and made it like new!

How much does solar panel cleaning cost in Oxnard?
We quote solar panel cleaning in Oxnard after we know the square footage, the material and how much soil there is, and you can get that free quote at (805) 644-5308 or through our quote form, with 10% off a first solar panel cleaning visit.
How often should solar panels be cleaned in Oxnard?
Once a year at the least. Oxnard arrays close to farm fields, a freeway or a recent fire collect dirt faster and should be cleaned more often than that.
Does salt air near the coast affect solar panels?
Salt, pollen, bird droppings and pollution settle on panels near the coast and form a film that blocks some of the light. A low-pressure deionized rinse takes it off without harming the glass.
Will washing my panels void the warranty?
Our method is plain water and soft brushes, which are gentle on both the glass and the seals. If the manufacturer lists cleaning requirements, send them over and the crew follows them.
Do you pressure wash solar panels?
No. Panels get low pressure, because high pressure can damage the seals. Our pressure washing service is separate and meant for concrete and buildings.
Do you clean commercial solar arrays?
Yes. Business rooftops, carport arrays and ground mounts are all part of the work, and on ground mounts the crew also clears vegetation shading the panels. For the other work we do for businesses, see commercial cleaning across Oxnard.
Do you clean solar panels outside in Ventura County?
Yes. Our service area is all of Ventura County, and in Santa Barbara County we also cover Santa Barbara, Montecito and Carpinteria.
