Pure-water, no-scratch panel cleaning that restores output lost to dust, pollen, and bird debris. Serving every Sacramento neighborhood — Sacramento County.
Sacramento gets almost no rain between May and October, and nothing rinses an array in that stretch except sprinkler overspray that leaves its own mineral spots. Ag dust drifts in from the rice fields north of Natomas and the farmland across the river, spring pollen from the city's oak and sycamore canopy settles onto the glass, and by September fire-season ash has baked on top of all of it. Panels tilted for this latitude sit too flat to shed any of it on their own.
The bill shows it. Production you lose to dirt lands straight on your annual SMUD true-up, and the loss compounds all summer while the panels stay dry. Homes under the old canopy in Land Park and East Sac take the worst of the sap and bird droppings; Pocket and Greenhaven arrays near the levee pick up steady waterfowl traffic; Natomas tract roofs carry a gray dust film you can see from the street. Deionized water and a soft brush take all of it off without touching the warranty.
Sacramento's solar splits into two generations. In East Sac, Land Park, and Curtis Park you find retrofit arrays bolted onto steep 1920s–1940s composition and clay-tile roofs — two stories up, tight side yards, and a mature canopy dropping sap, catkins, and bird droppings straight onto the glass. Tile from that era is brittle, which is exactly why we clean from the gutter line with a water-fed pole instead of walking it.
Natomas and North Natomas are the opposite: newer stucco two-stories, many with builder-installed arrays under California's solar mandate, low-pitch and dust-caked because nobody has touched them since handover. Out in Power Inn and South Sac, the work shifts to commercial flat-roof arrays and carport canopies over employee lots.
Panel count sets the baseline, but Sacramento's housing stock moves the number more than the array does. A single-story ranch in Tahoe Park or College Greens with a walk-up gutter line is the easy end. A two-story Tudor in the Fabulous Forties with clay tile, a fenced side yard, and panels split across three roof planes takes more setup, more pole work, and more time.
Soiling level matters as much: an array under Land Park's canopy with baked-on sap and a season of bird traffic needs hand detailing that a dusty Natomas roof doesn't. First cleans run longer than maintenance visits, and recurring contracts price lower per visit. Commercial flat-roof work is quoted by array scale and roof access. Every quote is written, free, and answered within 1 business day.
A typical call comes from a homeowner off Del Paso Road whose array went up with the house and hasn't been touched since — the SMUD true-up crept higher two years running and the panels look gray from the sidewalk. We note the inverter reading, set ladders at the gutter line, and run deionized water through a soft-bristle pole across each row. The uniform dust film — Valley silt with last fall's ash bound into it — comes off in one pass; the bird spotting on the greenbelt-facing rows takes hand tools. The roof never gets walked, the panels dry spot-free, and the owner checks the app on the next clear afternoon to see the gain.
If accessible, we note your inverter's current output before cleaning so you can see the gain after.
Deionized water through a soft-bristle pole brush lifts dust and pollen without any chemistry or pressure on the cells.
Stubborn bird debris and tree sap is removed by hand with panel-safe tools.
Pure water dries spot-free — no mineral streaks to block sunlight or require a re-clean.
