Solar Panel Cleaning Services in Fort Lauderdale & Broward County

Why solar panels in South Florida need cleaning

Dirty panels lose output. Published studies put typical annual soiling losses in the low single digits on average, and much higher where pollen, dust, or bird droppings concentrate. Between Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton, they concentrate.

Oak and pine pollen coat the glass from February into May. Saharan dust arrives in June and keeps coming through August. Salt film builds year-round on anything within a mile or two of the water. The wet season leaves algae and mildew streaks along the lower edge of each module. And pigeons roost under tile-roof arrays in every one of these towns. Rain rinses loose dust and nothing else; the humidity cements the rest to the glass.

Gold Coast Solar, Fort Lauderdale cleans with deionized water and soft brushes on a water-fed pole. No pressure washing, no detergents. It is the method panel manufacturers specify, and it is safe on barrel tile, flat tile, metal, and shingle roofs.

Our equipment

We carry our own deionized water system on the truck, so the water is pure at every job regardless of the tap. The brushes are soft-bristle heads made for solar glass on telescoping water-fed poles, which is how we reach most tile-roof arrays without stepping on the tile.

Every job includes

• Before and after photos
• Visual check of every panel and the space under the array
• Deionized water, soft-brush cleaning with no pressure
• Written condition note
• A look at your monitoring app with you, noting anything that reads low

Scope is cleaning and visual inspection. If we see something that needs a licensed solar or roofing contractor, we tell you and refer you. See pricing for what each service costs.
