Every Detail Solar cleans commercial rooftop solar arrays - warehouse, industrial, and C&I installations - with fall-protection-trained crews and deionized pure-water pole systems, washing at roughly 150 panels per hour while protecting both the panels and the roof membrane. Rooftop is the mount type where access and safety, not just soiling, drive the job - so that is what this program is built around.
Who this is for
Facility managers and building owners with roof-mounted commercial arrays. If your panels sit over a warehouse, distribution center, retail box, or industrial roof, the two things that separate a good rooftop wash from a bad one are safety discipline and not wrecking your roof assembly. Both are non-negotiable here.
What happens on site
- Access & safety plan: tie-off points, load paths, and membrane protection mapped before the crew goes up.
- Deionized wash: pure-water rinse (targeting 2-20 ppm dissolved solids vs. 300-1,800 ppm in typical hose water) dries spot-free, no chemicals on the roof.
- Soft-brush agitation for bird droppings, lichen, and cemented urban grime that rain leaves behind.
- Report: before/after photos plus normalized production recovery where monitoring allows.
Why rooftop is different from ground-mount
Ground-mount and utility arrays reward robotic throughput. Rooftops reward careful manual work: irregular layouts, penetrations, parapets, and a membrane you cannot afford to damage. We run rooftops with pure-water poles and trained crews rather than forcing a robotic tool onto a job it does not fit. For long uniform rows, see utility-scale and ground-mount instead.
When rooftop cleaning is not worth it
A newer rooftop array in a rainy, low-dust region may be getting rinsed well enough by weather. If your monitoring shows minimal soiling loss and there is no droppings or scale problem, we will tell you to hold off and monitor rather than sell you a wash that costs more than it recovers.
