A couple from Elizabethtown called us last fall. They said their energy bill was rising, even though their home had solar. Their installer told them the panels were dirty. When we arrived, we found dust, pollen, and leaves caked on every panel. After we cleaned them, their bill dropped the next month. That’s the kind of result we want for every home.
Why Solar Panel Cleaning Matters
When panels get dirty, they stop working right. Dirt blocks sunlight. Less light means less power. In Lancaster, there’s pollen in spring, dust in summer, and leaves in fall. Rain doesn’t clean panels enough. You need someone to do it right.
What We Clean Off Your Panels
Solar panels catch a lot of things:
- Dust and pollen
- Bird droppings
- Leaves and pine needles
- Tree sap
- Pollution and grime
These things block light. We wash them off using soft water and safe tools. No chemicals. No rough scrubbing. We treat your panels with care.
Our Cleaning Method
We don’t use high pressure. That can crack the glass or damage the frame. Instead, we rinse with filtered water, wipe with soft brushes, and dry without leaving spots. Our tools are safe for solar panels.
How Often Should You Book Solar Panel Cleaning?
Twice a year works for most homes. If your roof sits under trees or near a road, you may need more. Commercial panels—like on farms or warehouses—often need service every 3 months. We can help set up a plan.
Solar Panel Cleaning for Homes and Businesses
We clean solar panels for homes all over Lancaster County. We’ve helped families in Hershey, Columbia, and even Hanover. One customer in Harrisburg said they didn’t think dirty panels made much difference. After the cleaning, their inverter showed a 15% jump in output. They now book every spring and fall.
Why You Shouldn’t Clean Panels Yourself
Climbing on the roof is risky. Using the wrong soap or water can leave stains or damage. We’ve seen panels scratched by hard brushes or cracked by ladders. It’s safer to let professionals like Crystal Clear Window do it for you.
Does Solar Panel Cleaning Save You Money?
Yes. When your panels make more power, your bills go down. If your system connects to the grid, you can sell more power back. Dirty panels mean wasted sunlight. Clean panels make the most of the sun.
We Clean All Panel Types
Whether you have rooftop panels, ground mounts, or carport systems, we can clean them. If they tilt or lay flat, we’ll reach them safely. Each type needs a different angle and care. We clean them all.
What to Expect on Cleaning Day
We show up on time. We check your roof for loose parts. Then we clean each panel by hand. We don’t step on panels. We take before and after photos. If we see problems, we tell you. The whole job takes about 1–2 hours for most homes.

We’re a full window cleaning service. That means we can clean your skylights, windows, and glass doors during the same visit. If you want a full package, let us know when you book.
