Why Laguna Hills Homes Need This
Why Laguna Hills Homes Need Solar Panel Cleaning
Alan's Cleaning provides professional solar panel cleaning using a purified water system, the same technology used for high-end window cleaning. Purified water is essential for solar panels: tap water leaves mineral deposits that reduce light transmission and long-term efficiency. Abrasive brushing or pressure washing can scratch glass and void panel warranties. Alan's uses soft brush plus purified water feed, the manufacturer-recommended method. Fully insured for roof access. Serving Laguna Hills and Orange County since 1990.
01
Pollen Season Soiling
February through May brings heavy pollen from OC vegetation that coats south-facing panels. A cleaning before summer maximizes output during peak solar production months.
02
Santa Ana Wind Dust
September through November Santa Ana winds deposit layers of fine dust and debris on panel glass. Post-wind cleaning restores efficiency that soiling silently reduced.
03
Coastal Bird Droppings
OC's coastal bird populations leave droppings that create hot spots on panels, reducing output and potentially causing long-term damage to individual cells if left uncleaned.
04
Peak Summer Production
June through August is peak solar production in Southern California. A clean array going into summer is worth the most in direct electricity savings, often paying for the cleaning within one billing cycle.

How it works:
five steps to a flawless finish.
Step 1
Safety Setup
We assess roof access, slope, and obstructions and establish a safe working position before touching any panels.
Step 2
Dry Brush
Loose dust and debris are dry-brushed off the panel surface before any water is applied to avoid scratching.
Step 3
Purified Water Wash
Purified water is fed through a soft-bristle brush, cleaning without minerals and leaving no streaks or deposits.
Step 4
Rinse
A final purified water rinse removes any loosened soil and residual detergent from the panel surface.
Step 5
Visual Inspection
We inspect panels for visible damage, bird droppings, debris lodged under panel edges, and shade obstructions, and report findings to you.

FAQ
Can't find the answer? Get in touch and we'll respond within 30 minutes.
How often should solar panels be cleaned in Orange County?
Most OC homeowners benefit from 1 to 2 cleanings per year. The pollen season from February through May and the Santa Ana wind season from September through November deposit the most material on panel surfaces. High-soiling areas near roads or under trees may benefit from quarterly cleaning to maintain peak output.
Does cleaning actually improve solar output?
Yes. Studies show that heavily soiled panels in Southern California can lose 15 to 30% of energy output. In a region where a typical residential system generates $500 to $1,500 per year in electricity value, cleaning easily pays for itself and often within the first billing cycle after a clean.
Won't rain clean my solar panels?
Partially. Rain reduces heavy soiling but leaves mineral deposits behind as the water evaporates, and it does not remove bird droppings, pollen, or dust that has baked onto the glass. Most solar panel manufacturers and installers recommend professional cleaning even for systems that receive regular rainfall.
Will cleaning void my panel warranty?
Not with our method. We use the manufacturer-recommended soft brush and purified water technique. High-pressure washing and abrasive pads, which we do not use, can void warranties. Our purified water system is specifically chosen to match what panel manufacturers consider safe cleaning practice.
Are you insured for roof work?
Yes. Our $2 million liability policy explicitly covers elevated and roof-access cleaning work. We have been safely working on roofs across South Orange County since 1990, and we carry proof of insurance that we're happy to provide before any job.
