Get up to 30% more energy production with professional solar panel cleaning that protects your investment and preserves your warranty.
Hear from Our Customers
You invested $25,000 or more in your solar system expecting maximum energy savings. But Virginia’s pollen, dust, and tree debris are stealing your returns every month. Research shows dirty panels lose 15-30% of their efficiency during our heavy pollen seasons.
That’s real money disappearing from your electric bill savings. Clean panels absorb maximum sunlight, generate peak power, and deliver the full financial benefits you planned for when you went solar.
After professional cleaning, you’ll see the difference immediately on your monitoring app. Most Pantops homeowners notice improved energy production within 24-48 hours, with monthly savings that more than pay for the service.
Blue Ridge Exterior Cleaning has served the Pantops and greater Charlottesville area for over 15 Years. We understand your solar system represents a major investment—often $25,000 or more—and deserves professional care from people who know what they’re doing.
We combine old-fashioned customer service with cutting-edge cleaning technology. Our team holds certifications from Spray Wash Pro, Spray Wash Academy, and the National Soft Wash Alliance. When you call, you’ll reach a real person who understands local challenges like Virginia’s intense pollen seasons and the tree coverage common in Pantops neighborhoods.
You’re not just getting cleaners—you’re getting neighbors who’ve been protecting Central Virginia solar investments for three decades. We know which trees cause the most panel problems, when pollen hits hardest, and how to clean your system without voiding your warranty.
We start with a complete system inspection, checking every panel for damage, loose connections, or performance issues. You’ll get before photos documenting your system’s current condition—this isn’t just cleaning, it’s comprehensive solar care.
Next comes our specialized pure water cleaning system. We use reverse osmosis and deionized water that removes minerals and chemicals regular water leaves behind. No spots, no residue, no buildup that attracts more dirt. Your panels get cleaner and stay cleaner longer.
Everything we do is warranty-safe. No harsh chemicals that void coverage, no abrasive tools that scratch surfaces, no high-pressure washing that damages seals. We follow manufacturer-approved methods that maximize cleaning while protecting your investment.
You’ll receive after photos and a detailed report on your system’s condition. If we spot any issues during inspection, you’ll know immediately so you can address problems before they become expensive repairs.

Every service includes comprehensive system inspection and rooftop assessment. We check for loose panels, damaged wiring, pest issues, and anything else that could impact your system’s performance or longevity. This proactive approach catches problems early when they’re still affordable to fix.
Pantops presents unique challenges for solar panels. Your mature oak and pine trees create heavy pollen loads that rain can’t remove. Morning dew from the nearby Rivanna River actually cements debris onto panel surfaces, making professional cleaning essential for maintaining peak performance.
Virginia gets 43 inches of annual rainfall, but research proves rain doesn’t adequately clean solar panels. Pollen, bird droppings, and tree sap require specialized removal techniques that protect your panels while restoring maximum energy production. Our pure water system eliminates the mineral deposits that regular cleaning leaves behind.
We use environmentally safe methods that protect your property and the Pantops community. No harsh chemicals running into storm drains, no damage to landscaping, just effective cleaning that restores your panels to peak performance.
