Local Solar Panel Cleaning by Blue Water Power Washing

Why should you clean your solar panels?

Solar Panels work by absorbing sun light into the solar cells which gets converted in energy. The more light that is absorbed the more efficient your panels will be operating. Since Solar Panels need to be angled up they are prone to more dirt, debris and bird droppings then a vertical surface. The build-up over time can greatly effect your energy output with some studies recording losses of 20%, 25% and up to 50% (clean solar solution) more then a clean panel.

Solar Panel Warranty

Solar panel cleaning preventative maintenance is part of installation and manufacturer's warranties. If you have a problem and if you don't have maintenance records to present your case, some warranties may be voided. Check your manufacturers/installation warranty to see if they require annual/semi-annual cleanings.

Professional Cleaning Equipment

We have invested in professional grade equipment to protect your renewable energy investment. If you were to look on-line you would see the most popular result is to use soapy water and a soft cloth. While this does work, if not fully rinsed, the soap will leave a residue and end up effecting your solar panel production even more than dirt. Even if you rinse all the soap off, high TDS(total dissolved solids) will leave spotting behind. We use high grade water filtration systems to produce pure water to wash and rinse solar panels. No harsh chemicals or sticky soaps that could etch the silicon glass that protects the solar semi-conductors.

Professional Paver Cleaning, Sanding and Sealing Service

Blue Water Power Washing is trained and a Certified Applicator from Deco Product s to clean, sand and seal. We follow their recommended process when cleaning to prepare for sanding and sealing. The process takes multiple steps to achieve a professional result. -First we start by applying an algaecide to kill all organic growth to make cleaning the pavers with higher pressure easier. -Next step is to use a high pressure turbo nozzle tip from a safe distance to blow out all the old sand in between the pavers to get rid of any unwanted moss and weeds but without damage to the stones. -We then follow up with a professional grade surface cleaner to ensure a uniform clean on all the paver stones. -Next is to apply a neutralizer to rebalance the pH of the stones, followed by more heavy rinsing -Our preferred method is dry sanding, so after 24-72hrs of cleaning the stones we will return to complete the sanding and sealing -We use ASTM-C144 joint sand. We broom in the sand (color of customer choice) and follow up with a leaf blower to get an excess sand out and make sure there is about 1/8' below the chamfer of the stone. -After all sand has been replaced and leveled, we use a joint stabilizing sealer to protect the pavers from moisture getting in and stabilizing the joints by creating a rock hard seal that won't allow the pavers to move due to natural erosion. This process should be completed every year or two to maintain the integrity of an outdoor paver area. However yearly clean and seals are much less expensive then having to relevel a whole paver area after years of erosion have washed away sand creating a ungulated area
