Professional Solar Panel Cleaning & Maintenance 

At Sol Shine USA, we specialize in keeping your solar panels performing at their best. Based in Ojai, we provide residential and commercial solar services, including solar panel cleaning, maintenance, critter guards, and system inspections. Our team serves rooftops, ground-mounted arrays, solar farms, carports, and floating installations, delivering expert care across Ventura and Santa Barbara counties.

Expertise You Can Trust

Our technicians bring years of solar installation experience to every project. This ensures panels are handled safely and effectively:

• No Pressure Washing

Traditional pressure washers may seem effective, but they can create micro-fractures in solar panels, compromising performance and longevity. Our technicians use gentle, panel-safe cleaning methods that remove debris without risking damage.
 

• Only Approved Cleaning Methods & Chemicals

Solar panels are sensitive to harsh chemicals. We use only approved cleaning solutions and techniques to protect the panel surface and sheathing, preventing deterioration, water damage, and costly repairs over time.
 

• No Walking on Panels 

Stepping on panels can cause micro-cracks that reduce efficiency and void warranties. Our trained technicians use specialized equipment and remote-operated tools, ensuring every panel is cleaned safely and your system remains fully protected.

Beyond cleaning, our experts perform detailed inspections, identifying loose wires, worn zip ties, unsecured bolts, and other issues before they affect system performance.

 

Advanced Technology for Optimal Results

For large-scale commercial projects, we utilize the SolarCleano M1 robot, a state-of-the-art German-engineered cleaning system. Features include:

Remote-Controlled Operation for Maximum Safety

The SolarCleano M1 robot is fully remote-controlled, allowing our operators to manage the cleaning process from a safe distance. This eliminates the need for anyone to step on the panels, reducing the risk of damage or injury while ensuring precise and controlled cleaning every time.

Dual Motor-Powered Brushes for Consistent Cleaning

Equipped with two opposing motor-powered brushes, the robot delivers uniform pressure and coverage across every panel. This ensures thorough debris removal without causing scratches or uneven wear, helping your solar system maintain peak performance for years to come.

High-Capacity Cleaning: Up to 1 MW per Day

Designed for efficiency, the SolarCleano M1 can clean up to 1 megawatt of solar panels per day under ideal conditions. With no direct operator contact required, it provides a safe, reliable, and consistent solution for large commercial arrays, keeping your investment protected and performing at its best.​

Our combination of expert technicians and cutting-edge technology ensures faster, safer, and more thorough cleaning than traditional methods.

Services Offered:

1. Residential Solar Panel Cleaning

Residential solar panel cleaning focuses on cleaning solar panels for homes. Over time, dust, dirt, bird droppings, and debris can accumulate on rooftop panels, reducing their efficiency. Sol Shine USA uses gentle, panel-safe cleaning methods without pressure washing or harsh chemicals to maximize energy output and protect warranties.

2. Commercial Solar Panel Cleaning

Commercial solar panel cleaning designed for larger installations like solar farms, carports, and ground-mounted arrays, this service ensures that commercial systems operate at peak efficiency. For large projects, Sol Shine uses advanced technology like the SolarCleano M1 robot, which cleans safely and efficiently while avoiding damage to the panels.

3. Maintenance & System Inspections

Regular inspections help identify issues such as loose wires, worn zip ties, unsecured bolts, or micro-cracks before they affect system performance. Sol Shine’s experienced technicians check every component, ensuring that the solar system is safe, fully operational, and performing optimally.

4. Critter Guard Installation

Animals like birds or squirrels can damage wiring or panels. Solar panel critter guard installation prevents animals from nesting under or around solar arrays, protecting your system and avoiding costly repairs. Sol Shine installs and maintains these guards to keep solar systems safe and secure.
