Residential Solar Panel Washing FAQ
(Brought to you by OKC Pressure Washing — Proudly Serving Oklahoma City and Surrounding Areas!)
Q: Why should I have my solar panels professionally cleaned?
• Because dirty panels = less energy = higher electric bills (and nobody needs that surprise).
• Dust, dirt, bird gifts, and Oklahoma red clay can block sunlight and lower your system’s efficiency by up to 25%!
• Professional cleaning keeps your panels working smarter, not harder, and keeps your wallet a little happier, too.
Q: How often should I clean my solar panels?
• Twice a year is a good rule of thumb — usually spring and fall.
• If you’re near lots of trees, dust storms, or your local bird population has declared war on your roof, you might need it more often.
Q: Is it safe to clean solar panels with pressure washing?
• Nope!
• High pressure can crack, scratch, or damage your panels.
• At OKC Pressure Washing, we use a gentle, low-pressure rinse combined with soft brushes and pure water to safely clean your panels without harming them.
Q: Can’t I just spray them off with my garden hose?
• You could… but garden hoses leave behind hard water spots and streaks.
• Plus, without the right technique, you might miss stubborn grime that’s hurting your energy production.
• We use purified water and specialized methods to leave your panels squeaky clean and operating at full power.
Q: How much difference does a cleaning really make?
• Studies show dirty solar panels can lose 15–25% of their efficiency.
• Translation: clean panels = more sunlight captured = more savings for you.
• It’s like tuning up your car — regular maintenance keeps things running smoother (and saves you more in the long run).
Q: How long does a solar panel cleaning take?
• Most residential jobs take 1–2 hours, depending on the size of your system and how long those bird parties have been going on up there.
Q: Do you offer free estimates?
• Absolutely!
• OKC Pressure Washing offers free, no-pressure (pun intended!) quotes so you know exactly what to expect — no surprises.
