Maximize Solar Efficiency With
Trusted Solar Panel Cleaning in Austin
The Texan sun provides numerous opportunities to harness energy, but only if your panels are clean and unobstructed. Every bit of dirt makes them less effective. Activate Pressure Washing offers reliable solar panel cleaning in Austin, TX and the surrounding suburbs that:
- Restores lost energy efficiency caused by dust, mold, and debris.
- Prevents long-term panel degradation.
- Protects your investment.
- Removes the physical risk of you accessing your rooftops.
What makes this so important is that Austin has such dense tree coverage and high pollen levels which can reduce solar output by up to 25%. We use a safe soft washing technique that uses antimicrobial solutions specifically designed for delicate glass. We never use high-pressure systems.
What Types of Solar Panel Installations
Can We Clean?
Roof-Mounted Solar Panels on Shingle, Tile, or Metal Roofs
We change our approach to energy-efficiency cleaning based on the roofing material:
- Shingles: Our technicians use ladders or extension poles to rinse rather than walking on the roof.
- Metal: We wear safety harnesses due to the slippery surface and use lower-chemical-strength, eco-friendly panel cleaners.
- Tiles: These are fragile, so we use extended reach and soft chemical flow.
Most Austin homes have multi-slope, tree-covered roofs, which require extra runoff management and safety precautions.
Ground-Mounted Solar Panel Arrays
These are common in rural areas and commercial installations. We use similar techniques to rooftop solar washing, but the surface is usually more accessible. You may need to clean them more often due to soil exposure.

Low-Pressure Rinse of Solar Array
We rinse the panels with less than 100 PSI to remove pollen, dust, and loose debris. We never use high pressure because it can etch the glass.
Application of Cleaning Solution
We spray a mixture of 0.5-1.0% sodium hypochlorite and surfactant and let it sit for approximately 10 minutes. This is so effective that the dirt virtually slides off. It also kills organic growth like mold and mildew.
Purified Water Final Rinse and Plant Protection
We rinse the surface thoroughly using soft or purified water that won’t leave spots. We water the plants again to completely dilute any potential spills.
Final Inspection and Walk-Through
We ask for your approval before closing the job. We’ll address any missed spots straight away.
