Solar Panel Maintenance

Solar Panel Maintenance

Specialized cleaning and inspection services for San Diego's unique environmental conditions.

San Diego's combination of marine layer, pollen, and occasional Santa Ana winds creates distinct maintenance needs. Our bi-annual service removes salt buildup critical for coastal properties while preventing dust accumulation that plagues inland homes.

Technicians inspect for micro-cracks from thermal cycling (common with our 40°F daily temperature swings) and check mounting hardware integrity. We provide written reports documenting performance metrics compared to SDG&E's historical data for your address. Services include bird deterrent installation - a necessity near canyons where nesting can damage wiring.
