Ask Olivehurst homeowners what they notice on their solar panels, and the top answer is usually birds. Pigeons and other birds like the warm, sheltered space on and around rooftop arrays, and what they leave behind dries hard in the valley sun.
Bird droppings do not wash away easily. A light rain may soften them, but they often stay stuck to the glass. We soften and lift them with purified water and soft brushes, taking our time on the tough spots rather than scrubbing hard.
While we are up there, we also look for:
Nesting material tucked at the edges or under the array
Feathers and debris collected along the frame
Signs that birds are spending a lot of time on your roof
If we see nesting activity, we will tell you so you can decide what to do next.
Olivehurst is surrounded by farmland and open land, and dry months mean dust in the air. It settles on panels as a dull film. A purified water rinse and soft brush take it right off, and pure water dries without spots.
We never put anything on your panels except purified water. We do not use pressure washers or stiff brushes on the glass. And we do not promise anything about energy numbers. We clean the glass carefully and leave the rest to your system.
Book a one-time cleaning, or add solar to a quarterly membership along with windows. Quarterly plans are our best value.
