Professional Solar Panel Cleaning in San Juan County NM
*Also serving: Durango, CO and, Hesperus, CO.
Dirty solar panels can lose up to 20% of their efficiency, meaning you're not getting the full return on your investment. Over time, dust, pollen, bird droppings, tree sap, and other airborne debris build up on the surface of your panels, creating a layer that blocks sunlight. While rain may seem like a natural cleaner, it often leaves behind water spots, mineral deposits, and grime — much like how a windshield looks after a storm. Regular professional cleaning ensures your panels operate at peak performance, extend their lifespan, and maximize your energy savings. Clean panels simply produce more power, which means lower energy bills and a better return year-round.

It’s a common misconception that cleaning solar panels is as simple as spraying them with a hose—but in reality, proper solar panel cleaning requires much more care and precision to avoid damage and ensure maximum performance. At ZIA Home Services, we go beyond just “water.” We use ultra-filtered, deionized water, processed through a resin filtration system to bring the PPM (parts per million) of dissolved solids down to zero. This means no minerals, no streaks, and no residue—unlike regular tap water, which often contains hard minerals that can leave behind spots and reduce panel efficiency.
We also use specialized soft-bristled brushes designed specifically for solar panels. These brushes gently lift dirt, pollen, bird droppings, and other debris without scratching the surface or damaging the panel seals. This combination of pure water and purpose-built tools allows us to deliver a streak-free, spotless clean that not only protects your solar system but also helps it generate significantly more power—sometimes boosting efficiency by as much as 10–25%.
So no, it’s not just water—it’s the right water, the right tools, and the right technique that make all the difference.
