Solar panel cleaning that pays for itself in recovered output
Every Detail Solar washes commercial rooftop, ground-mount, carport, and utility-scale arrays across the United States - and proves the recovery with before-and-after production data.
Every Detail Solar is a commercial solar panel cleaning company that washes rooftop, ground-mount, carport, and utility-scale arrays across the United States, then documents the production recovery with before-and-after data. We scope every array by mount type and site conditions, build a custom estimate for your job, and lead every engagement with a free production-loss estimate so you see the recoverable output before you spend a dollar.
Dirty panels quietly bleed output every day
Dust, pollen, ash, hard-water scale, bird droppings, and creeping vegetation all block the light your panels convert to power. According to the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), soiling causes roughly 3 to 5 percent of annual energy loss on average, and considerably more in dry, dusty, and agricultural regions. During heavy dust events, peer-reviewed field studies have measured losses exceeding 1 percent per day.
The exact figure for your site depends on where it sits and what season it is. That is what we measure - not a headline percentage we made up.

Most solar cleaning companies publish a big percentage and a stock photo. We publish measured before-and-after production from real sites in our Soiling & Recovery Report. If you want to talk to an operator who has run a comparable site to yours, ask us - we will connect you with references in your region.
Measured recovery from real commercial sites. Data, not slogans.
Production measured pre- and post-wash and reported back to you.
Ask for operators running comparable arrays in your state or climate.

Frequently asked questions
What does Every Detail Solar do? +
Every Detail Solar is a commercial solar panel cleaning company. We wash rooftop, ground-mount, carport, and utility-scale arrays, run vegetation management on solar sites, and sell the cleaning equipment we use in the field. We serve commercial and utility solar operators across the United States.
How often should commercial solar panels be cleaned? +
It depends on your soiling environment. In low-soiling, high-rainfall regions, annual cleaning is often enough. In dry, dusty, agricultural, or wildfire-prone regions, quarterly cleaning is common. We size the schedule to your site rather than selling a fixed calendar - and we will tell you when cleaning is not worth it.
How much energy do dirty solar panels lose? +
The U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) reports soiling causes roughly 3 to 5 percent of annual energy loss on average, and materially more in arid and dusty regions. Peer-reviewed field studies have measured soiling losses exceeding 1 percent per day during heavy dust events. The right number for your site depends on your location and season, which is exactly what our free production-loss estimate measures.
Do you service rooftop and solar farm installations? +
Yes. We handle commercial rooftop arrays, ground-mount solar farms, utility-scale installations, and carport/canopy systems. Each mount type has its own access and safety model, detailed on our service pages.
What areas do you serve? +
We serve commercial solar across the United States with regional and travel crews. Send us your site address and specs and we will confirm scheduling and pricing.
How much does commercial solar panel cleaning cost? +
Commercial cleaning is priced per panel, per kilowatt, or per site visit depending on array type and access. Most commercial rooftop and ground-mount engagements run between $0.10 and $0.30 per watt for a single clean. We provide a free production-loss estimate first so you can compare the cost of cleaning against the cost of leaving soiling in place before committing.
Will cleaning damage my panels or void the warranty? +
No. We use deionized water and soft-bristle brushes that meet manufacturer cleaning guidelines across all major panel brands. We document our procedures so your warranty terms stay intact. If you have specific warranty language from your panel OEM, send it to us before the job and we will confirm compliance in writing.
Do you provide before-and-after production data? +
Yes - documenting production recovery is a core part of what we deliver. We establish a pre-clean baseline, complete the cleaning, then record post-clean output. That data goes in a written report you can use to justify the cleaning cost with your ownership group or lender.
Can you handle multi-site solar portfolios? +
Yes. We build recurring maintenance programs for operators with 2 to 200-plus sites. Consolidated scheduling, unified reporting, and a single point of contact across your entire portfolio. Portfolio clients typically get priority scheduling and reduced per-site mobilization costs.
What equipment do you use to clean solar panels? +
We use deionized water systems, purpose-built soft brushes, and reach-pole setups for rooftop work. For utility-scale and large ground-mount arrays we deploy semi-autonomous brushing equipment that covers more acreage per crew-day. We also sell the equipment we use - if your team wants to self-perform cleaning, we can supply and train you.
How do I get a cleaning quote for my solar installation? +
Submit your site address, array type, system size in kW, and mount configuration on our contact page and we will provide a free production-loss estimate alongside a cleaning quote. Most estimates are returned within one business day.
What is vegetation management for solar sites? +
Vegetation management removes grass, weeds, shrubs, and invasive plants that grow beneath and around ground-mount and utility-scale arrays. Overgrowth shades panels, reduces airflow, and creates fire risk. We mow, spray, and maintain site boundaries on a schedule tuned to your location and growth season.
