Why Skylight and Solar Panel Cleaning Is Essential for Your Seattle Home

Skylight and solar panel cleaning is essential to prevent buildup, optimize for performance, and prevent long-term damage.

Without regular cleaning, skylights can get very dirty.

Skylights are a beautiful and functional addition to any home, bringing in natural light and creating an open, airy feel. Solar Panels are a smart way to save money on utility bills, and help our city move forward with a sustainable future in mind.

But in Seattle neighborhoods like Greenwood, Shoreline, West Seattle, Madrona and Wedgwood, where tree cover and frequent rain can impact home exteriors, skylight and solar panel cleaning is essential to prevent buildup, optimize for performance, and prevent long-term damage.

But Husser can remove even the heaviest debris.

Why Skylight and Solar Panel Cleaning is Essential

With Seattle’s wet climate and heavy tree coverage, skylights and solar panels are exposed to moisture, moss spores, and falling debris. Regular maintenance ensures:

• Prevention of Leaks & Water Damage – Seals and flashing wear down over time, increasing the risk of leaks.

• Maximized Natural Light – Dirt and grime block sunlight, reducing the brightness in your home (and dirty solar panels can lose up to 30% of their efficiency).

• Extended Lifespan – Routine care prevents costly repairs and replacements.

• Improved Energy Efficiency – Clean and well-sealed skylights help regulate indoor temperatures, and solar panels need to be cleaned regularly to work properly.

Make sure you hire a professional who uses the correct solution and pure water!

Is Hiring A Professional To Clean Your Skylights and Solar Panels Necessary?

While DIY maintenance and cleaning is possible, hiring a professional ensures: 

• Safe Access to Hard-to-Reach Areas – Experts use ladders and safety equipment to clean high skylights. 

• Thorough Inspection & Maintenance – Professionals spot small issues before they turn into costly repairs. 

• Streak-Free Cleaning Techniques – High-quality tools and purified water systems leave skylights spotless. 

• Time & Effort Saved – No need for you to climb ladders or struggle with cleaning solutions.

How Often Should You Clean Your Solar Panels and Skylights?

• Twice a Year Minimum – Late spring and early fall are ideal times to remove debris and inspect for leaks or damage.

• Quarterly for Tree-Dense Areas – Homes near large evergreens may need more frequent cleanings.

• After Heavy Storms – Check for debris buildup and water damage following severe weather.
