Residential Solar Panel Cleaning in Chicagoland
Pane Pal Solar — warranty-safe, deionized water cleaning for homeowners across Cook, DuPage, Lake, Will, McHenry, and Kane counties.
The Problem: Dirty Panels Cost You Money
Illinois pollen season (April–May) and summer tree debris coat solar panels with a film that blocks sunlight. Dirty panels lose 7–15% efficiency — on a 20-panel system producing $1,500/year in energy, that is $105–$225 in lost production annually. One professional cleaning typically recovers most of that in the first month after cleaning.
