How it works
The anatomy of a certified clean
Our 6-step standard operating procedure
When you hire us to maintain your solar array, you aren't just paying for a wash — you are investing in engineering-grade asset protection. Solar modules are live electrical power plants mounted to your roof. From the moment we schedule your service to the final handover of your compliance report, every step is dictated by strict Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) guidelines and federal OSHA safety standards.

The pre-cleaning evaluation & optimized scheduling
Our process begins before we ever dispatch a truck. When you book a service, we evaluate your local environmental zone and the ambient temperature forecast.
Why it matters
Glass solar panels baking in the mid-day sun can reach internal temperatures exceeding 150°F. Hitting them with cold water causes a rapid contraction known as thermal shock, which can instantly shatter the glass or cause invisible micro-cracking within the silicon cells. We schedule our arrivals strictly for early mornings, late evenings, or overcast windows.
Site securing & OSHA fall protection
Upon arrival, our first priority is the safety of our crew and your property. Before a ladder is extended, our technicians perform a ground-level hazard assessment, checking for overhead power lines, compromised roof decking, and safe ladder footing.
- Strict OSHA-compliant fall protection established
- Level II technicians utilise rated anchor points, harnesses, and dual-lanyard tie-offs
- We never walk on or bear weight on the solar modules themselves, to prevent mechanical stress and catastrophic cell failure
Electrical isolation & system shut down
Water and high-voltage direct current (DC) do not mix. Before a single drop of water touches your array, our technicians execute a Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) protocol. We shut down your string inverter or DC optimizers, physically tag the disconnect, and use a calibrated multimeter to verify zero voltage.
Audit checklist
- Pre-existing micro-cracks or shattered glass
- Galvanic corrosion on the aluminum frames
- Degradation of the factory Anti-Reflective (AR) coating
- Signs of pest nesting, chewed wiring, or blocked frame drainage channels
We take date-stamped photographs of these anomalies. This “pre-flight” report protects you by identifying warranty-level hardware failures before the cleaning begins.
Precision hydrology & the OEM-compliant wash
We never use unfiltered tap water, high-pressure washers, or harsh chemical detergents, all of which will instantly void your panel warranty and strip the delicate AR coating. Instead, we manufacture our own cleaning solution on-site using a multi-stage Deionization (DI) and Reverse Osmosis (RO) filtration system.
The TDS test
Before the water hits your roof, we test it with a digital meter. We ensure the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) measure below 75 parts per million (ppm), guaranteeing a spot-free dry.
The agitation
We apply this ultra-pure water at low pressure (under 40 PSI) using specialised, non-abrasive nylon brushes.
Post-cleaning diagnostics & authorized minor repairs
Once the array is rinsed and drying spot-free, we perform our post-flight physical verification. If we spot minor, non-electrical mechanical issues caused by wind or prior improper maintenance, we fix them on the spot as a courtesy.
- Re-torquing loose mid-clamps and wire-management clips
- Safely re-seating disconnected MC4 electrical connectors — pressing until the manufacturer-required audible “click” prevents arc faults
Note
If we discover a major electrical fault or a failed microinverter, we document it for you so you can immediately contact your original installation company or a licensed electrician.
System re-energization & the compliance handover
With the physical work complete, we remove our LOTO devices and execute the precise inverter reboot sequence, verifying the system displays a normal, green operational status.
The handover
You receive your Post-Cleaning Service Report, including before-and-after photos, water quality (TDS) readings, and a hardware audit log.
Our promise to you
Your array, restored to its maximum physical light transmittance
We cannot control volatile local utility rates, and we will not promise you a specific dollar amount off your electric bill. What we guarantee is that your system leaves us operating at peak physical efficiency, completely free of warranty-voiding soiling.
OEM compliant
Every step follows manufacturer guidelines.
Documented results
Full Post-Cleaning Service Report included.
Warranty protected
Zero risk to your manufacturer warranty.
Safety
Working on your roof
Rooftop work carries real risk, which is most of the reason homeowners hire it out rather than doing it themselves. We take the obvious precautions: we assess ladder placement and roof condition before going up, we avoid walking on modules, and we schedule cleanings for cooler parts of the day so we are not putting cold water on hot glass.
A careless "splash-and-dash" with a garden hose and tap water can void your manufacturer warranty, induce micro-cracking, and create severe electrical hazards. We operate differently: from the moment we schedule your service to the final handover of your compliance report, every step follows OEM guidelines and federal OSHA safety standards.

Book a solar protection inspection. We'll look at the array, tell you what we see, and put a written estimate in your hands — no pressure, no obligation.
