Before & After
A recent Inland Empire cleaning. This is the kind of buildup we see on foothill roofs after a dry season.
Foothill wind, orchard dust and wildfire ash make Yucaipa hard on solar panels. We clean them with pure RO/DI water and a soft brush, from right next door in Redlands.
Inland Solar Care is based in Redlands, just down the 10 from Yucaipa. When you call, you get George, the owner, not a call center, and he's the one who shows up to do the work.
We clean panels all over Yucaipa: Dunlap Acres, Uptown Yucaipa along Yucaipa Boulevard, Chapman Heights, and the streets up toward Crafton Hills and Wildwood Canyon. We also serve neighboring Calimesa and Mentone.
Yucaipa sits higher than most of the valley, right at the foot of the mountains, with a lot of open land around it. That's great for sunshine, but it means panels get dirty in a few specific ways:

Under 16 panels? Call or text (909) 649-6554 for a quote.
Pricing for our other services is in our full pricing section, and you can ask about our maintenance plan for repeat-customer pricing. Prices are starting points; final price confirmed before work.
Twice a year works for most homes. If you're on a semi-rural lot with dirt driveways or horses nearby, or you just went through a smoke event, every 3–4 months is better. Ask about our maintenance plan for regular cleanings.
We don't recommend it. Inland Empire tap water runs 300–500 TDS, and it leaves mineral spots that bake onto the glass. Walking on a roof is also a real fall risk. Pure RO/DI water and a soft brush are the safe way to do it.
Dust, ash and pollen block sunlight before it reaches the cells, and in a dry climate nothing washes them off. Your before and after photos and condition report show exactly what came off, and you can compare your system's production in your monitoring app.
Yes. Both are part of our regular service area, along with Redlands, Highland and Beaumont.
Older ranch-style homes with mature trees nearby sometimes end up with nesting under single-story arrays. We install wire mesh guards around the exposed edges of the array, and the inspection is free. See bird proofing for prices and details.
