A commercial solar cleaning company built on measurement

Every Detail Solar is a commercial solar panel cleaning company serving rooftop, ground-mount, carport, and utility-scale arrays nationwide, founded and led by CEO Dan Piepho. We exist to close a specific gap: commercial arrays quietly lose output to soiling, and most operators have no reliable way to measure the loss or verify a wash was worth it. We do both.

Who we are

We are a solar-only maintenance operation - not a pressure-washing company that added panels to the menu. Our crews are trained on solar safety, electrical handling, and fall protection. Our equipment is chosen for the array in front of it: deionized pure-water systems for a spot-free finish, robotic cleaners for long utility rows, and soft-brush agitation for cemented soiling, lichen, and bird droppings.

How we work

We start with a site assessment that documents soiling, vegetation, electrical conditions, and access. From there we design a cleaning and maintenance program tailored to the site. Crews and equipment are matched to your access, scale, and soiling profile, and every visit produces a clear report you can hand to your operations or finance team. Soiling costs commercial arrays roughly 3 to 5 percent of annual output on average per the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), and considerably more in dusty and agricultural regions, so the report is what turns a wash into an operating decision.

What we believe

Solar is one of the most valuable long-term assets a business can own, and protecting it is not optional. Every array deserves a maintenance program that matches the engineering that went into installing it.

What makes us different

• We prove the result. Documented before-and-after production recovery and a clear, custom estimate for your site - not a mystery quote.
• We measure recovery. Every engagement can include pre- and post-wash production data with documented before-and-after results.
• We source our claims. Every soiling figure on this site traces to that report or a named source like the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). If we can't source it, we don't say it.
• We tell you when not to hire us. If rain is already doing the job on a low-soiling site, we will say so.

Leadership

Dan Piepho is the founder and CEO of Every Detail Solar. He leads the company's field operations, measurement standards, equipment program, safety and operations training and is willing to work with you to fit a budget/program that makes sense.

Where we work

Every Detail Solar serves commercial solar across the United States with regional and travel crews, with active work concentrated in California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Colorado, and New Mexico. Our headquarters is in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

California footprint. California is our primary market for commercial and utility-scale work: the Central Valley around Fresno, Bakersfield and Kern and Tulare counties, the Inland Empire of Riverside and San Bernardino, Los Angeles and Orange County, San Diego and Imperial County, the Sacramento region, the Bay Area, and the Mojave and Antelope Valley around Lancaster and Palmdale. Region-specific pages start at solar panel cleaning in California.
