The Radiant Clean Process
Each service begins with a careful inspection of your solar array and surrounding environment. We assess roof pitch, debris sources such as overhanging trees, and access points for safe positioning. Next, we use pure, deionized water to loosen dust and pollen. Our solar-safe brush gently removes stubborn spots like bird droppings, and pollen before a final DI rinse leaves the glass spotless. Once the panels are clean, we perform a visual inspection and, if requested, provide before-and-after photos or help you verify production improvements on your solar monitoring app.
How Often Should You Clean Solar Panels in Tampa?
In Florida’s subtropical environment, most homeowners benefit from
biannual cleaning, typically in the spring and fall. Homes closer to the coast, surrounded by trees, or near construction sites may need
quarterly cleanings to maintain optimal output. Major pollen seasons, heavy storms, or periods of high humidity can leave behind stubborn residue, so scheduling after these events is ideal. Many customers in Lithia and the surrounding area find that maintaining a regular schedule ensures peak performance during the brightest and longest days of the year.
The Payoff: Real Energy and Cost Savings
Clean panels allow more sunlight to reach the cells, which translates into higher efficiency and better return on investment. Even a modest improvement of 5–10% can make a noticeable difference over time. For example, a 7-kilowatt system in Lithia produces about 11,500 kilowatt-hours annually. If regular cleaning restores 5% efficiency, that’s roughly
575 additional kilowatt-hours per year—equivalent to nearly
$90 in savings at current Tampa Bay energy rates. Doubling that to 20% efficiency recovery can add up to nearly
$368 a year in regained value. Over the lifespan of your solar system, those numbers compound into significant savings—all from simple, consistent maintenance.
Recurring Cleaning Plans: Save More and Stay Efficient Year-Round
To make solar panel maintenance effortless and affordable, Radiant Clean offers
