Solar Panel Cleaning in Westlake Village
Solar Panel Cleaning From a Family-Owned Company
Our solar panel cleaning covers homes and business buildings in Westlake Village. Our crews use low-pressure deionized water, soft brushes and non-abrasive tools, with no harsh chemicals and nothing forced into the seals. One visit covers most jobs, and the last step is a look at the inverter, so you can see the system producing again. We have been family-owned since 1978.
- Warranty-Safe MethodWe use plain water and soft brushes to protect glass and seals, and follow any cleaning terms your warranty spells out.
- Ground Arrays ClearedAround ground-mounted arrays, the crew cuts back brush and vegetation before it can grow tall enough to shade the panels.
- Clean Sooner Near FreewaysA once-a-year clean is the minimum, and panels near fields, a freeway or recent fire need one sooner.
In one reported case, dirt covering just 0.5% of a solar module, in one corner, caused a 9% power loss.

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.
Gutters run along the roof edge under most rooftop arrays, and the dust and leaves that land on the roof end up in them. Gutter cleaning pulls leaves and roof grit from gutters and downspouts, looks for clogs, and bags everything for removal. A yearly visit is the minimum most homes need, the same baseline we suggest for panels.
Window cleaning deals with the road dust on the glass lower down and also wipes down frames, sills and screens, and second-story panes are reached with proper safety equipment. Pressure washing covers the ground level: driveways, patios and walkways, with the pressure turned down for wood and a surface cleaner used on stone so nothing is etched.
Solar Panel Cleaning Near Me
Along the 101
Why Panels Near the 101 Need Cleaning Sooner
Westlake Village is tied to Los Angeles by the Ventura (101) Freeway, and panels near a freeway get dirty faster than most. Solar panels make power from the light that reaches the cells, so anything left on the glass blocks some of it: road dust, bird droppings, and ash in a fire year. When a dry year brings too little rain to rinse the glass, it all stays put.
We recommend cleaning your panels at least once a year. Sooner makes sense if they sit close to the 101 or open fields, if there has been a fire nearby, or if you can see the dirt from the ground. A clean brings the output back up.

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 often should panels near the 101 in Westlake Village be cleaned?
At least once a year. Panels close to the freeway, open fields or a recent fire usually need it sooner.
Could a cleaning void the warranty on solar panels?
No. Soft brushes and low-pressure water are easy on the glass and seals, so the warranty is not put at risk, and any cleaning terms your warranty spells out are the ones our crew sticks to.
Does Kelly use a pressure washer or soap on solar panels?
No. We use low-pressure deionized water and non-abrasive tools, with no harsh chemicals, because high pressure can damage the seals. The pressure washer stays with concrete and building exteriors.
Can you clean flat-roof and carport arrays at businesses?
Yes. Flat commercial roofs get edge-to-edge passes, and we clean carport and ground arrays too.
How long does a solar cleaning visit take?
Most jobs take a single visit, and it ends with a look at the inverter readout so you can see the system producing.
Do you clean solar on both the Los Angeles County and Thousand Oaks sides?
Yes. The city itself is in Los Angeles County and most of the community is in Thousand Oaks, and our crews clean panels on both sides of that line, like the rest of our Westlake Village work.
