A pure-water wash, a panel-by-panel look, and proof in your numbers.
Sometimes, not always. If your app shows a slow slide on clear days, or you can see a film from the ground, a wash will help. If not, we will say so.
The day before, we pull 30 days of production from your app so we know your baseline.
Photos of every row from the ground and the roof edge, before anything gets wet.
Water-fed poles and soft brushes, top row down, at air temperature on cool glass.
Bird droppings and sap lifted with microfiber, never scraped with a blade.
Each module looked at for cracks, browning, loose clips and debris underneath.
After photos the same day, and a production comparison from the next clear days.
A two-story home in Lakewood’s Applewood neighborhood with 24 panels on a south roof, unwashed since install. The app showed clear-day output drifting down through a dry June. We booked a 7 a.m. slot in early July, rinsed through a cottonwood film and two heavy dropping patches, and noted one corner clip loose for the installer. The owner compared the following clear days in their own app against the June baseline we sent.
Prices are indicative and confirmed from a photo or satellite view before we book. Steep or third-story roofs can add $25 to $50. Every price in one place.
For most Front Range roofs, once or twice a year: after the spring pollen and cottonwood, and again in late summer after the dry, dusty months. Steep roofs near busy roads or fields may need more. We read your production data first and tell you if a wash can wait.
Not the way we do it. Manufacturers such as REC and Panasonic ask for water at ambient temperature and soft tools, and Panasonic specifies deionized water. That is exactly our method: no pressure washer, no soap, nobody on the panels. Send us your panel model and we will check its manual.
No. We need access to the side yard or the ladder spot, any gate code, and a working outside tap is helpful but not required because we carry our own water. We send photos the same day so you can see the work.
Yes, on dry days above freezing. We do not wash when water would freeze on the glass or the roof, and we never chip ice or rake snow off rooftop panels. Winter washes are short, since the low sun makes any film matter more.
About one to two hours for a typical 15 to 30 panel roof, including the walk-around and the glass-level check. Larger or harder-to-reach arrays take longer, and we tell you the window when we book.
Send a photo of the roof or a screenshot of your app. We reply within one business day.
