Cleaning Dust and Droppings Off Your Southern Michigan Solar Panels
Dust, bird droppings, and mowing debris build up on solar panels, and every bit of it cuts how much power your system makes. Out here, the farm fields put a steady film of dust on the glass, and the birds add the rest. At Westfall Power Washing LLC, we clean roof-mounted and ground-mounted home systems with pure water, never pressure. If your panels across Southern Michigan have stopped pulling their weight, call us at (517) 227-4597.
Solar Panel Types We Clean
We clean the panels on your roof and the arrays set up on the ground, both the same gentle way.
Roof-Mounted Residential Panels
These are the panels fixed to your home's roof. Before we touch them, we photograph the array and check for electrical concerns around the panels and the conduit, then clean the glass with pure water.
Ground-Mounted Arrays
These are home arrays mounted on the ground, often picking up debris from mowing nearby. They get the same electrical check first and the same pure-water clean.
Why Choose Us for Pure-Water Solar Panel Cleaning
Here are two reasons homeowners have us clean their panels instead of doing it themselves.
Pure Water and Never Pressure on Your Panels
Panels are a surface we treat gently. We clean them with pure water only and never put pressure on them. Pressure is the thing we warn homeowners against, because it is what does the damage.
We Bring the Water With Us
We produce or haul in all the pure water a job needs, run through our own filtration system. When the water at your site is dirty or rusty, we filter it further. An array with no water source nearby still gets cleaned.

How Solar Panel Cleaning Works, Step by Step
Reach Out for a Free Estimate
Call, text, or request your estimate online. Our office team answers, with a live answering service as backup. We look up your property online or ask for a few photos. Your written estimate comes by email within two business days, often the same day, with our insurance and workers' comp details included.
Approve and Get Your Arrival Window
Accept your estimate online, and you get email and text confirmation. As the date gets closer, we send reminders along with the arrival window, so you know when to expect us.
Photos and an Electrical Check First
We photograph and document the array before we start, and we check for electrical and power-related concerns around the panels and conduit. If we find something unsafe, like damaged electrical or rotted boards, we'll show you, work around it, and come back to finish that area once it's repaired. We never put our crew where it isn't safe.
The Pure-Water Clean
We clean the panels with pure water from our water-fed filtration system. The dust, droppings, and buildup rinse away and leave the glass clear.
Finished Photos and Your Invoice
When we're done, we take before-and-after photos from the same points we started from and email them with your invoice, sent the day of service. If anything isn't right, we want to hear about it before you consider the job finished.
What Solar Panel Cleaning Costs on Your Home
Every system is priced on its own, by the size of the array, its condition and how easy it is to reach. You get the final number on your written estimate, with nothing added after.
| Pricing | Details |
|---|---|
| $450 minimum | $450 minimum. That is a service-call floor, not a flat rate for every system, and we price up from there by size, condition and access. When a job comes in small, we look for other useful work to include so the visit is worth it. |
Combining services saves you money, and we work those savings into your quote rather than posting a rate. Ask us when you get your estimate.

Solar Panel Cleaning Customer Reviews
Questions About Solar Panel Cleaning
Can you clean solar panels in the winter?
We clean them year-round whenever water work is possible. Exterior water work pauses for the three to four months of hard freeze, because the water freezes before it can do its job. If your panels come up during that stretch, we schedule the cleaning for as soon as the weather allows.
Why do you clean solar panels with pure water?
Our local water is high in calcium and lime, and that hard water leaves spots on glass as it dries. Pure water from our filtration system carries no minerals, so it rinses clean and leaves nothing behind on your panels.
Can you clean my roof while you're cleaning my solar panels?
For safety, we don't wash roofs that have solar panels installed on them. The electrical and overspray risk is too high, so we leave that work alone and focus on getting your panels clean.
