​Sol Shine USA is a California-based company that specializes in the cleaning, maintaining, and inspecting of solar arrays. The commercial solar projects that Sol Shine services include solar farms, ground mounts, carports, rooftops, and floating arrays. 

​

Several important factors distinguish us from many other companies offering similar services:

​

We are licensed and insured.

​

We only hire qualified technicians who have previous experience with installing solar panels. 

​

After years of installing, we have come to realize that this qualification is crucial when it comes to the proper treatment of a solar panel. 

​

Only qualified technicians know, for example, that you cannot use a pressure washer on solar panels because the pressure can easily create micro-fractures.

​

They also know that only approved chemicals are to be used on your solar panels. This is because unapproved chemicals will cause the sheathing to deteriorate, leaving the panel vulnerable to water damage and malfunction over time. 

​

Experienced technicians also know that the weight of a human walking on solar panels can cause micro-cracks. Doing so is completely against the rules of solar array care, yet many advertisements show technicians walking on panels! 

​

Too often companies break these very important rules, voiding your warranty and costing you more than planned. 

​

Another benefit to hiring only qualified techs with solar installation experience is that they notice way more about your system than the average window and gutter cleaner could. For instance, are your wires loose and hanging? Are the zipties securing wires all weathered and busted? Are there loose bolts in the racking system? What about loose wire connections?  

​

All of these details are essential when it comes to the proper function and maintenance of your system, and they need to be checked at every cleaning.

Next is our gear.

​

Sol Shine USA spares no expense when it comes to our equipment. Everything we use is top notch with no exceptions. ​

​

For commercial jobs we use the SolarCleano M1 robot from Luxembourg. This machine features state of the art German engineering and is truly the Mercedes Benz of large-scale commercial solar cleaning products available on the market today. 

 

Operated by remote control, the unit uses two motor-powered opposing brushes and is propelled forward on rubber tank tracks. This machine is capable of cleaning up to 1 MW of solar panels per day in ideal conditions (i.e. a flat array with easy access).  

 

Since the machine is remote controlled, the operator is safer and the cleaning is drastically more effective and consistent. Plus, there is zero temptation for the operator to ever set foot on your panels.  ​
