Drone Solar Panel Cleaning in Lakewood, Colorado

Professional Solar Panel Cleaning

Solar panels are built to spend their lives outside, but that also means they're constantly exposed to everything Colorado weather can throw at them.

For this featured project, LH Powerwash used our drone-assisted cleaning system to clean rooftop solar panels at a home in Lakewood, Colorado. The goal was straightforward: get the panels clean while minimizing unnecessary contact with both the solar array and the roof.

Why Clean Your Solar Panels?

Over time, dust, pollen, dirt, bird droppings and other environmental debris can collect across the surface of solar panels. That buildup can interfere with the amount of sunlight reaching the panels, which is why keeping the surface clean is an important part of maintaining a solar system.

And while Colorado gets plenty of sunshine, rain and snow don't necessarily provide the thorough cleaning that rooftop panels occasionally need.

Professional solar panel cleaning removes accumulated grime and gives the panels a clean, clear surface to do what they were designed to do: capture sunlight.

Cleaning Solar Panels Without Walking on the Roof

One of the biggest challenges with residential solar panel cleaning is simply reaching them.

Solar arrays are often installed on elevated, sloped or otherwise difficult-to-access sections of a roof. Traditional cleaning can require technicians, equipment and hoses to move across the roof and around the panels.

Our drone-assisted solar panel cleaning system gives us another option.

For this Lakewood home, we were able to use drone technology to access and clean the rooftop panels while reducing the need for technicians to walk around the solar array. That means less unnecessary foot traffic on the roof and a cleaning method designed with both accessibility and property protection in mind.

A Spot-Free Clean with Demineralized Water

LH Powerwash uses pure demineralized water when cleaning solar panels.

Unlike ordinary tap water, demineralized water doesn't contain the same minerals that can be left behind as spots or residue after the water dries. This allows us to thoroughly rinse the panels and leave behind a cleaner glass surface without introducing unnecessary soaps or mineral deposits.

It's a simple detail that makes a big difference when you're cleaning a surface designed to capture as much sunlight as possible.
