At Pinnacle Shine, our mission is to protect and enhance the value of your home’s most important assets—your solar panels and windows. We combine professional-grade equipment, industry-leading methods, and meticulous care to keep your solar system performing at its best and your windows crystal clear. By using pure deionized water and safe, effective techniques, we help extend the life of your investments, boost energy efficiency, and preserve the beauty and performance of your home—giving you long-term peace of mind.
Why Clean My Solar?
When panels are covered in dust, pollen, or hard water buildup, they can lose up to 25% of their production. That means higher utility bills and wasted savings month after month. But it’s not just about efficiency — leaving grime on your panels for too long can cause hot spots, corrosion, and seal damage, which shortens the lifespan of your system.
Regular professional cleaning protects your investment, keeps your system healthy, and ensures you’re getting the maximum return on your solar power.
-
Rain does not effectively clean solar panels. While it can rinse away loose dust, it usually leaves behind mineral spots, dirt streaks, and pollutants because rainwater contains dissolved solids (TDS). In fact, after a storm, panels often look worse due to dried water spots. Just like how rain doesn’t leave your car perfectly clean, it won’t leave your solar panels spotless or running at peak efficiency.
-
If you choose to clean your solar panels yourself, always stick to soft, non-abrasive tools like a gentle brush or microfiber cloth, and rinse with distilled or deionized water rather than hard tap water. In places like Arizona, tap water TDS can measure above 400 ppm, which will only harm your panels. Avoid harsh chemicals, pressure washers, or abrasive pads, as these can scratch the glass, leave behind residue, and even void manufacturer warranties.
-
For maximum efficiency, solar panels experts recommend cleaning every 6–12 months. In dusty climates like Arizona, the recommended frequency increases to 3–4 times per year to prevent buildup and keep your system producing at its best.
-
Most solar warranties don’t specifically require professional cleaning, but they do expect panels to be kept in good working order. If damage or performance issues result from neglect, warranty claims may not be covered. Regular cleaning helps maintain your system’s efficiency and protects your warranty coverage.
Our Method
At Pinnacle Shine, we use a professional-grade, three-stage water filtration system to ensure a spotless, streak-free clean—every time.
Sediment Filter – removes dust, sand, and debris
Reverse Osmosis Membrane – purifies the water
DI Resin Tank – delivers water at or near 0 TDS for a flawless, spot-free finish
We replace our filters weekly to guarantee consistent, top-quality results.
In addition to panels and windows, we also professionally clean window screens, using specialized screen cleaners to remove dust, pollen, and buildup—restoring them to like-new clarity and airflow.
For all exterior glass surfaces, we use an anti-conductive, glass fiber water-fed pole and a soft-bristle Xero brush, specifically designed for delicate solar panels and window glass.
The result: crystal-clear panels, pristine windows, and maximum performance—all without risking damage to your system or property.
