Clean panels make more power. Dirty ones cost the property every month.
Pollen, dust, and leaf litter sit on flat commercial panels and cut what they produce. We clean them gently, after hours, with a photo report for the file, priced per property so it fits the budget.

Why it matters on a commercial roof
Flat panels hold dirt. The array was a capital investment. Both argue for a schedule.
Commercial arrays sit flat or nearly flat, so pollen, dust, and leaf litter don’t slide off the way they might on a steep roof, and rain leaves a film rather than rinsing it. The panels were bought to cut the utility bill and, often, to tell a story to tenants and lenders. A dull array does neither. A clean one is a line item you can defend.
If the building’s monitoring shows a slow slide since spring, that’s usually the panels, not the equipment. Drag the handle to see the difference.
What you get
Built for how a managed property actually runs.
Around your tenants, not through them
Early mornings, evenings, or weekends. No lifts in the lot during business hours, no crew in the lobby. We coordinate roof access with whoever holds the keys.
A report for the property file
Before-and-after photos of every section, a short note on anything we noticed (loose conduit, a cracked panel, nesting), and a dated record you can forward to the owner.
One contact, clean invoicing
Per-property or per-portfolio invoicing, W-9 on request, and the paperwork your file requires sent before the first visit. Same crew and the same contact every time.
Rooftop, canopy, or ground-mount
If it has panels, we clean it.
Flat-roof arrays, solar carport canopies over the parking lot, and small ground-mounted systems. Canopy panels take the worst of the tree litter and the least of the rain, and they sit right where tenants look up. They’re usually the dirtiest panels on the property.
Canopy panels are scheduled when the lot is empty, usually early morning.
How a visit works
Site walk first. Then a schedule you can forget about.
Site walk
Roof access, water source, tenant hours, and anything on the roof we should stay clear of. We leave with what we need to price it and set a schedule.
Gentle clean, off hours
Soft brushes on water-fed poles, purified water that dries without spots. No soap, no pressure washing, nothing that voids a panel warranty.
Edges and drains
Leaf litter cleared where it collects against panel frames and around roof drains near the array.
Report by the next morning
Before-and-after photos, a short note, and the invoice, in one email, ready to forward.
When to schedule
Austin is a year-round pollen city. Here is what lands on a commercial array, and when.
Flat panels hold all of it. The three windows below line up with the Quarterly plan; Seasonal takes the two spring ones.
Rooftop and canopy arrays get the same calendar. Canopy panels under trees usually need the November visit most.
Plans
Priced per property. Budgeted once a year.
Ranges below are typical for small commercial arrays in West Austin, not a quote. Array size, roof access, and water access set the number; we confirm it at the site walk.
Single Clean
One documented clean. Good before a lender or buyer walk-through, or after a heavy pollen spring.
- Photo report
- Edges and drains cleared
- After-hours scheduling
Seasonal
Late February after cedar, late May after the oaks. The two cleans that matter most here. Scheduled for you; you get the report.
- 2 visits, calendared
- Report each visit
- Storm follow-up on request
Quarterly
Four cleans on the calendar above, a look at the array between visits, and first call if something looks off. The array stays presentable year-round.
- 4 visits, calendared
- Between-visit check-ins
- Same crew, same contact
Portfolio
Several west-side properties on one schedule, one invoice, and one report format. Priced after we’ve walked each roof.
- One schedule, one contact
- Consolidated invoicing
- Uniform reports
Prices are typical ranges, not bids. Firm pricing follows the site walk.
Who you’re dealing with
“One crew, one contact, one invoice. That’s the whole pitch.”
Matt
Owner, West Canopy
West Canopy is my company, and it’s a small one on purpose. I walk the roof with you, I set the price, and the crew that cleans it in February is the crew that cleans it in November. The report lands in your inbox the next morning with the invoice, ready to forward to the owner.
