Dust, debris and bird droppings come off Simi Valley solar arrays with low-pressure deionized water and soft brushes, with no harsh chemicals and nothing that strains the seals. Kelly Cleaning’s solar panel cleaning covers homes and businesses: residential rooftops, flat commercial roofs, carports and ground arrays. Family-owned since 1978.
- Inverter Readout CheckedThe crew reads the inverter display after cleaning, which shows whether the array is generating power again before anyone leaves.
- Yearly at the LeastWe recommend a cleaning at least yearly, and more often for arrays close to a freeway, beside open fields or near a recent fire.
- Warranty Terms FollowedIf your panel warranty spells out how the array must be cleaned, share those terms and our crew follows them.

On the roof and below it
Panels share the roof with the gutters, and the same dust lands on the windows and the paving below.
Rain washes grime off the panels, and it ends up in the gutters at the roof edge with the leaves and grit. Gutter cleaning opens with a check of the whole system, after which the gutters are scooped and blown clear, every downspout is cleared top to bottom, and the crew confirms water is flowing before it leaves.
Window cleaning and pressure washing finish the outside at ground level. The windows are cleaned on both sides, frames, sills and screens included, and left streak-free with eco-friendly agents. Pressure washing takes road dust and grime off driveways, walkways and building walls, using hot or cold water, with the pressure and detergent adjusted so the surface underneath is not etched.
Solar Panel Cleaning Near Me
Dust Along the 118
Freeway Dust, Bird Droppings and Dry Years
Simi Valley’s commuters use State Route 118, the Ronald Reagan Freeway, and panels on homes and businesses close to a busy road like it, or next to open ground, gather a gray film of dust faster than most. Bird droppings land in spots that shade part of a panel.
Anything on the glass blocks some of the light the cells turn into power. In a dry year there is not enough rain to wash panels off, and a fire year adds ash on top. We recommend cleaning at least once a year, sooner for panels near the freeway or open fields or after a fire nearby.

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!

Usually, yes. Road dust settles on panels near a busy freeway, so we suggest cleaning them sooner than the once-a-year minimum.

Water and soft brushes protect the glass and the seals, so cleaning does not put the warranty at risk. If the warranty lists cleaning rules, send them to us and we will follow them.

No pressure washers and no harsh chemicals. We use low-pressure deionized water and soft brushes, and keep our pressure washing equipment for driveways and walls.
