About This Service
Solar Panel Cleaning at Shark Exterior
Solar panels are a significant investment, and dirty panels can reduce energy output by up to 25% or more. Dust, pollen, bird droppings, and mineral deposits from rain accumulate on panel surfaces and block sunlight from reaching the photovoltaic cells — silently costing you money every month.
Shark Exterior uses a purified, de-ionized water-fed cleaning system that leaves zero mineral residue on panel surfaces. No soaps, no chemicals, and no scratching abrasives — just pure water and soft brushes that safely remove buildup without damaging anti-reflective coatings.
Our technicians are trained to work safely on rooftop installations of all pitches and configurations. We serve homeowners across Lincoln and Kearney, Nebraska, and recommend semi-annual cleaning to maximize your system's annual energy production.

Everything you need to know about solar panel cleaning
01
How much energy can dirty panels lose?
Studies show dirty solar panels can lose 15–25% of their energy output or more, depending on local conditions. In Nebraska, where pollen and dust are significant factors, regular cleaning can make a measurable difference in your monthly energy production.
02
Is it safe to clean solar panels?
Yes — when done correctly. We use a soft-brush, purified water-fed system that is completely safe for all panel types and anti-reflective coatings. We never use soaps, abrasives, or high pressure on panel surfaces.
03
How often should solar panels be cleaned?
We recommend cleaning panels twice per year — in spring after pollen season and in late summer or fall. Panels near bird roosting areas or high-dust environments may benefit from more frequent cleaning.
04
Do I need to be home for solar panel cleaning?
No — solar panel cleaning is an exterior rooftop service. You don't need to be home. We'll notify you when we arrive and send before and after photos when complete.
