Illustration for Solar Panel Cleaning Prices From 11 Local Price Lists

Eleven solar cleaning prices, per panel and per visit

Read the third column: six pages quote a panel, five lead with a starting price for the array.

Honeybee Window Cleaning (Florence, AL) From $250 “Solar panel cleaning From $250”

A panel rate scales with the array and then hits a floor; a starting price is a floor that moves with panel count, pitch and access.

What 20 panels come to on seven rate cards

Twenty is not arbitrary: one Colorado list prices a job outright as cleaning “up to 20 panels”. Here is every card that prices by the panel, plus the Colorado card that names a panel count.

Company (market) Rate 20 panels
Green Blast Solutions (McKinney, TX) $5–$10 a panel 20 × $5 to $10 = $100 to $200
Maui Refresh (Kihei, HI) $10 a panel, $250 minimum 20 × $10 = $200, under the minimum, so $250
Valley Pro Power Wash (Phoenix, AZ) $10–$20 a panel 20 × $10 to $20 = $200 to $400
Island Shine Pressure Washing (Maui, HI) From $12 a panel 20 × $12 = $240
Captain Sparkles (South Burlington, VT) $1.50–$2 a sq ft on a roof, $15 a panel on the ground 20 × 17.6 sq ft = 352 sq ft; 352 × $1.50 = $528, raised to the $550 job minimum = $550; 352 × $2 = $704; 20 × $15 = $300, raised to the same $550 minimum = $550
Husser Window & Gutter Cleaning (Shoreline, WA) From $20 a panel 20 × $20 = $400
MG Cleaning Systems (Erie and the Front Range, CO) From $200, up to 20 panels Flat for that count = $200

The other four cards lead with a starting price for an array, not a rate per panel, so 20 panels lands wherever their tiers put it.

Two questions decide which line you land on. How many panels you have: the monitoring app or the install paperwork lists the count, and the panel size sets the square footage. And whether the number is per panel or per visit, because a panel rate with a floor is a different offer from a $250 starting price. Whether cleaning earns its keep is the output break-even in our solar panel guide.

Deionized rinse, soft brush and the roof pitch

Where a page describes the method, the shape repeats: an inspection, a soft brush pass and a rinse that leaves no spots. A Charlotte card lists all three, naming “Solar panels inspection”, “Soft brush scrub” and “Final rinse with deionized water”. Two Maui cards name deionized water. A McKinney list runs solar on the same water-fed pole as its windows.

A Connecticut list prices by “quantity of panels, pitch of roof, complexity, condition, and accessibility”, and sells debris removal as its own line at $99. A Colorado card covers “up to 20 panels” in the base price and scopes “Larger arrays, bird mess, roof access, and commercial systems” separately. Pitch and access keep coming back, so the same count on two roof faces can price above one flat face. What a roof cleaning costs runs on the same drivers.

Panels on the same visit as the roof or windows

Two of those pages clean panels but never quote a solar job alone, so they are not in the table. A Southern California roof cleaner says it cleans panels “for free if you have them”. A Jacksonville drone crew sells only a roof-and-solar bundle, from $599.

A Seattle-area list sets a $200 floor and says it “applies to the visit itself, not to each service”, so a panel clean can ride along and the floor is met once, not twice. Our price index puts a roof cleaning at $299 to $500 a job for most providers, typical $445, across 68 providers, so a paired visit is worth pricing both ways. If the crew is already there for the glass, window cleaning cost per window covers that half of the visit.
