So..... You've invested in a PV system- you wonder if an annual cleaning and inspection is warranted. I would say it's definitely worth exploring. We have been using Pacific Panel Cleaners for over five years now and they have made sure our PV system is running as well as can be expected for it's age. The annual maintenance check includes washing and cleaning the PV system as well as independent solar water heating systems. What's great is they generate a multi page report that they mail to you which includes photos and descriptions of issues that were found and recommendations. This last inspection that was done recently, included a problem with the gateway unit which allows us and PPC to see how well the PV system is operating. It helps to pin point when components may have failed. In our case PPP was able to determine the gateway unit may have failed and they worked directly with the manufacturer and determined the unit was still under warranty. They arranged for the delivery and installed it later. After installation everything has been working fine. We have always have good service from Pacific Panel Cleaners. The team that came to our house was great, and was able install and test the new unit effectively and efficiently. A big mahalo to the PPP crew that came to help us, thank you to Doug, Nico and Connor for the great work. So if you have installed a PV system, it makes sense to keep it maintained properly to get the maximum efficiency out of it. An annual check up may be a useful investment and Pacific Panel Cleaners is worth checking out. read more

After 5 years of annual cleaning service, Pacific Panel Cleaner has definitely contributed to optimal functioning of our PV system. This week, Doug and his team of professional, hardworking technicians came out to promptly clean and even replaced a micro inverter in 2 hours. After cleaning and inspecting our panels, they would send us a detailed report with pictures of our system before and after cleaning. With their excellent service, thorough cleaning, reasonable prices, and detailed report, we highly recommend Pacific panel Cleaners for all your solar maintenance needs! Mahalo nui loa! read more

Wonderful service crew! We had solar PV panels that blew off during the Kona storm. They arrived promptly, had it reinstalled, with complete system checks within a couple of hours. Patrick and Doug were outstanding representatives of their company's service commitment. read more

Just a great company to work with.. really appreciate local companies like this! read more

When we purchased our PV system, we were told that there is loss of productivity as time goes on. 9 years ago our first bill after installation was about $18.00 a month. As the years progressed the bills got higher. This year or bill less over $100.00 per month. still cheaper than pre solar. We attended the Building Industry show and requested a quote to add on to the system., all weird wanted to add panels and a battery. the quotes were almost the cost of the original system we had installed. I decided to hold off on installation and give cleaning a try. What did I have to lose? $250 to clean and $14,000 to add on to the system. I searched for cleaners of Solar panels and found Pacific Panel Cleaners. They were helpful and explained the system that they do. First. they examine the system before work begins to check four bird nests. loose wires and trouble in general, they take pictures before work begins and later after work is complete. The process took about 2 hours for our 16 panels. We got a report emailed to us after 6 weeks with pictures of our system, and explained that our panels were dirty and then cleaned. Long story short. our bill is now $26.00 for the last few months. I wished I had cleaned the system sooner. I signed a five year maintenance plan to have the cleaning done every year now. It's totally worth it and Pacific Panel Cleaners is very professional with the work. Some people have told me that I could clean the system myself. this is one project that I hire the professionals, I have no business being up on a two story building by myself just to save a few bucks. read more

Pacific Panel Cleaners' team members since 2020 annually provides best value, best price for servicing our PV and Solar Water panel systems. Pacific Panels' annual checks stops any corrosion from taking hold. Especially living on an island, corrosion will happen. Our PV systems is on our second story roof. The annual checks uncover the start of possibly bigger problems. Our area three years ago was seeing a couple hundred pigeons starting to nest under PV panels in our neighborhood. Fred Brooks and his team as part of their annual check found the start of one nest under our PV panels. The solution offered by Fred was to install a PV cage system stopping pigeons from getting in. We had Fred and his team install on all our panels. At the same time, three years ago, our neighbors to our left and right chose not to get the cage systems installed. Fast forward to today. Pigeons fly right over our home to nest on our neighbors house. Our neighbor's house's PV panels now houses over a 100 pigeons. The tile roofs next door is covered with pigeon droppings that are visible to the naked eye. The roof is almost white now. Not to say anything about the risk of mites that pigeons bring. Yet, year after year, Fred Brooks' team led by Dan, do their annual checks: NO PIGEONS!!! The panels after their deep cleaning shows an increase in solar production. Fred Brook's team also actively monitor our systems. We lost two inverters that Fred reported straightaway. Fred's team coordinated the warranty replacement of the inverters directly with the manufacturer. His team then arranged to come out to replace the bad inverters. With out Fred's active monitoring, we would not have readily known the loss of two panels of production. Five years of end-to-end successful oversight by Pacific Panel Cleaners team, our PV and Solar Water Heater panels remain in full production. Once their annual deep clean finishes, Fred sends us a detailed complete report of the systems' panels, electrical, junction boxes, et al. with detailed pictures of our roofs. Ongoing maintenance of our PV and Solar Water Heater is a "MUST DO" in Hawaii. Fred Brooks, as a disabled veteran understands PV and Solar Water systems being surrounded by the ocean. As a Navy man, Fred gets it when it comes to electrical systems constantly exposed to salt air. We highly recommend Fred Brooks and his Pacific Panel Cleaners team for your PV and Solar Water Heater needs. read more

Pacific Panel Cleaners are the best! They are on time, very knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. We have a serious problem with Pigeons. They put the bird cages on our panels. We started with an annual cleaning contract but we now have them cleaning quarterly to keep up with our crazy bird (poop) issue. They provide a full report with before and after photos of your system. This is very helpful. We've had issues with a bunch of inverters going bad, our solar company was not helpful, and even said it might be because we have dirty panels. PPC came out and provided pictures for us to show how clean our panels are. Everyone at PPC has been a pleasure to work with. They have fantastic customer service. If you have solar PV on your roof, you need the good folks at PPC to maintain them. Don't take chances with your investment in PV! read more

A regular electrician referred me to PPC and they are just what I needed. I had some panels out and an Envoy not reporting. (almost $1500 for a new Envoy). Patrick came out and told us we needed a TP link. (Around $50). The panels needed new micro inverters and they dealt with Enphase, who honored their warranty. PPC installed the new inverters and I signed up for their cleaning and service agreement and am very happy about the whole deal. Money very well spent, especially as I was dead in the water as far as finding someone to service my PV system. They even give you a report showing the system features and before and after cleaning. read more

Do you own a photovoltaic system on your house? If you do, you should consider getting your panels cleaned and inspected each year. We've had our system for almost 5 years and never had it cleaned!! Shame on me! I heard about this company years ago but just never got around to setting up an appointment until recently. If you have PV, I recommend Pacific Panel Cleaners for your panel cleaning needs. WHY? Over time, the panels get covered with dirt, bird poop, pollen, water marks and maybe even salt if you live near the ocean. The panels aren't able to absorb as much of the suns rays if they are covered with a layer of dirt or salt etc. This results in lower productivity and higher HECO bills. We don't want that. The cost of the cleaning and inspection are based on several things including number of panels, type of roof you have, and how many floors you have. It also depends on if you do a one time cleaning vs a 5 year (once a year cleaning) contract. I would just call them for a quote if you are even thinking of doing this because they can give it to you over the phone. The cleaning is followed with an inspection. They look under the panels, look at the wiring, inspect the junction box, and check out the inverters. They will make recommendations based on what they see and they even retrieved my sons baseball which was wedged underneath all those panels. I had tried to knock it out with the hose but was unsuccessful. If you're still not convinced, look at it this way. You spend $20,000-$50,000 (or more) on your car. You probably wash your car a few times a year. Same thing except when you spend $20,000-$50,000 on a PV system and get it cleaned, you can actually save money on your electric bill. Thanks to Celise N. who told me about this company many years ago. Sometimes it takes a while to sink in. Good thing she wrote a review update last month! read more

There's a reason this company has a 5star rating and glad I hired them to troubleshoot and repair my PV system. I have a Solar Edge system that was installed and contracted with a company called Sunetric about 10yrs ago. I have had issues with this company from the start and they were not the lowest bidder before awarding them my contract to install 38 panels. Glad to report they went out of business!!!! I'm starting this review because I know I wasn't the only victim and wanted to let others know who bought from this terrible company that it was a blessing in disguise. My system went down and had to find another company that was familiar with my system and would be willing to resolve the problem. There was so many PV companies to choose from and didn't know who to call. A friend recommended Pacific Panel Cleaners. It sounded like they only clean solar panels based on the name of the company, but I called anyway since they were referred. A gal named Leslie answered the phone and was extremely professional and courteous...what a start!!! She did say they've recently gotten other Sunetric customers who was having problems as well. I had to sign an authorization form allowing them to be my PV contractor with Solar Edge(SE) the manufacturer of my system. Leslie advised how long it normally took SE 2wks to reply. She kept me updated and even included me in the email to SE. So professional and efficient!! We got the approval within 2wks. She called me to schedule the tech to troubleshoot my system and explained their quote for trouble shooting and repair. Brian arrived on-time wore a mask when he introduced himself and started the troubleshoot. I needed to replace 1 of 2 inverters. He called SE and got their approval to replace and did advised it should still be under my warranty. The unit arrived in 2wks and Leslie scheduled the replacement. They quoted the approximate labor cost to remove/install new inverter since they were not my original installer. They sent Dan a more experienced tech with my system to insure the installation was done efficiently. Dan was great! We found out that the new inverter sent by SE was defective!!!! He got SE to acknowledge after communicating with them and had them ship another which arrived in about 1.5weeks, Dan called me to schedule!!! The tech called and didn't need to rely on the "office" to schedule! He came on-time and had Brian (the original tech) with him for training on this SE system! Smart business , training other employees to improve their knowledge and growth as a company!!! The installation was a success!! In speaking to Leslie, she assured me that after speaking with the Fred, owner of this wonderful company, they will not be charging me the labor to install the defective inverter SE sent!!! They're Honest too!!! So if you are a Sunetric victim like I was, I am writing this review for you! Thank you Fred, Leslie, Brian & Dan!!!! read more

These guys are outstanding. The price they charge is very reasonable. Check out their military pricing and long term service contract. Extremely prompt and courteous. Highly recommend. read more

I contacted the company to do some repair on my PV solar system. I have a system where there are 4 zones. One zone has not been working due to one of the panels coming loose during a windstorm. My home has two types of roofing, monier and metal. The zone that is not working is located on the metal section. The company refused to inspect my system because they do not want the liability of working on monier tile. I am not an electrician, but I would be willing to bet that the problem is isolated to the zone on the metal roof. Asked if they could just come and take a look at the situation but they refused. I guess they just want the easy, high profit jobs requiring no thinking. They should advertise as such.... read more

We have been using Pacific Panel Cleaners for several years now. Their prompt and courteous service to come out to clean our solar panels have always nothing but great. They also provide a detailed photo service procedure when completed. Office staff is courteous and professional. Thank you Pacific Panel Cleaners for your quick response when I called about a faulty inverter notice I received. Your guys came out and swapped out the faulty inverter and cleaned my panels while they were here. Thank you PPC! Looking forward to see you next year! read more

Pacific Panel Cleaners are the best at what they do. Second time using them. Last time was in 2017, they came on time, did a great job cleaning everything, checking inverters, and everything else, at a reasonable cost. I waited too long to use them again, panels were pretty dirty/moss, mildew, etc. Decided to sign 5 year contract, to save money and keep our investments clean and running efficiently. These guys are the ones to call, if you need your panels cleaned, serviced, etc. read more

Pacific Panel Cleaners - Solar Panel Cleaning Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

They did an excellent job cleaning my PV panels, leaving them sparkling clean. They prepared a comprehensive report of their work including pictures, and even took photos of my solar hot water system because it needed some attention too. Very happy with their work and will use them again for sure. read more

Just got my panels cleaned again. Same prompt and professional service, as always! Weather was a problem but great communication in rescheduling (I wouldn't want to be on the roof in a thunderstorm either). Did a 5 year contract this time and got an even better deal, and if you do sell you can roll it over to the new owner (option) without a penalty. Bottom line: all around great company to work with, completely proactive and professional from the owner and office assistant to the guys doing the work. Would give 6 stars if I could! Also give military and referral discounts ;-) and both are much appreciated!!! p.s. even if you don't have trees or debris/leaves etc. blowing on your roof... you would be amazed how much bird poop and pollen (especially pollen) collects on the panels over a year, and the pollen sticks so rain does NOT wash it off. read more

They were professional in everything that they did.They work extremely hard and did a fabulous job cleaning my solar panels. Never realize what a difference cleaning can make on the performance of the unit. My power output dramatically increased after the cleaning. highly recommend Pacific Panel Cleaners. They showed up on time and were very efficient read more

They are fantastic! They come on time, courteous, and very thorough. They take the time to go over how my panels etc ate doing. I have used them yearly for the past 4 yrs and would highly recommend them!! read more

Had them clean panels years ago. They did a nice job, fast & efficient. Office personnel is pleasant & "service expectancy" is very important to me. read more

Great customer service from start to finish. Had my panels cleaned and system inspected by Pacific Panel Cleaners. Appreciated the detailed report after inspection was completed. Highly the recommend their services. read more

PPC did a great job cleaning my panels and checking out my two solar systems. Upon completion one system power increased by 25% and the other almost 35% as seen on my Envoy Monitoring System. They also initiated an RMA on a defective Micro-Inverter that they found out of service. This is handy as they monitor and work with the Manufacturer to quickly return your system to its highest efficiency. The Cleaning Technicians did a great job removing the mold, volcanic ash and road dirt from the panels and the racking system. I sincerely recommend spending the money to enjoy 100% of the potential output of your PV System. It will surely pay for itself by maximum performance and longer life of the PV Panels. read more

On my second contract with Pacific Panel Cleaners and they never seem to disappoint. After each cleaning, they provide a full report with pictures and any recommended actions for the homeowners. For your panel cleaning, highly recommend contacting Fred (owner) and Ashley who provides exceptional customer service and their crew who will get the job done! read more

Wonderful service. Fred knows more about solar panels then the guys that installed them. Super Professional and easy to work with.

The workers are very helpful in explaining and showing what they did. Service is exceptional. Got my first bill after cleaning and it went down tremendously. Great company. read more

This is a great company. Office responded quickly to inquiries. Staff techs did a great job. The report after cleans seems very thorough. We even saw a decrease in our monthly electrical after the cleaning. Highly recommend! read more

I highly recommend them! They were professional and thorough. After the cleaning, they waited to make sure the panels were clean....they were still somewhat dirty, so they cleaned them again. They took pics of the panels and all the connections, spoke to Enphase, and together they determined that our lowered production was not the result of shading, unlike what our previous installer told us. They are now checking into having some or all of our panels replaced. read more

Excellent service provided by the PPC today , cleaned out panels and checked operation of panels , inverters and optimizers Great job. See you again next time. read more

This is my second review. These guys are great! Dan went above and above and beyond! Besides the fantastic job they did cleaning my solar and pv panels and inspecting my system, I had a solar attic fan with a broken support due to rust. They repaired that for me also. Great job! Thanks again. read more

Just had PPC come out to clean our panels and am very pleased with the job they did. They were very responsive and accommodating in setting up the cleaning appointment and they did a wonderful job cleaning our very dirty panels. They went above and beyond! We signed up for the 5 year contract. Highly recommend them to anyone who has PV panels! read more

VERY PROFESSIONAL!!!! From the first call to crew showing up on time, they were great! The final report with photos before and afterward was done completely and professionally. Outstanding job! Dr. Steve read more

I contacted Pacific Panel Cleaners to clean our solar panels installed in 2012. I had no idea how filthy our panels were. This greatly affects the overall power production. Not only did we get the panels cleaned, they inspected the entire system and provided a detailed report. If you are not using this service, you're losing money. Excellent service, great staff and timely. read more

Excellent customer service. Fred and his staff are friendly, courteous, highly professional and extremely knowledgeable. The staff cleans and removes all the dirt, grime, and mold from our panels to keep our PV system working at full capacity. The staff also thoroughly inspects our panels and provides a very detailed report with before and after pictures. Last year they diagnosed and repaired an electrical fault that caused half of our panels to stop working. Thanks to Pacific Panel Cleaners our solar production has increased significantly and we are saving hundreds of dollars a month. We trust and highly recommend Pacific Panel Cleaners. read more

These folks are simply awesome! Proactive to calling me to schedule the annual routine maintenance, wrote up a descriptive report with very clear pictures of before/after and potential trouble areas. Just all around wonderful to work with. Thank you Kyle and Dan! Highly recommend to anyone looking for this kind of service. read more

I stand by my review from 2014. A very professional outfit, doing good work; on-time arrival, efficient and polite crew, fair pricing. Highly recommend. read more

Thought I did a review earlier this week but I don't see it posted so, doing it again because PPC definitely deserve my 5-star review. First off, Fred was kind enough to help us get connected back to Enphase so we could monitor our system however, they could monitor the system to see if we were having any issues. This tell me right there that they are also invested in our system to ensure it's maximum output of energy. As far as cleaning goes. Top-notch inspection and cleaning. I was home last year since I just started my contract and crew is very professional. This year, I was at work but no worries at all. You get a very detailed report with before/after pictures. Highly recommend giving them a call. Ms. Kyle will help you get started in maintain your investment. Prices are reasonable and you won't be disappointed!!! read more

Fantastic service, quality work and great customer service. Wish we could just keep the pigeons away, but short of that, a yearly cleaning by these professionals is the best alternative. We certainly see tangible drop in our electric bill after cleaning. Mahalo! read more

It's been about 5 years now that we have had Pacific Panel Cleaners come and clean our 36 PV panels and our solar water heater panels. Every time I read the report, I am impressed with their professionalism and great work. The report details what they saw, and what they cleaned with before and after photos. Last year, they noticed that the insulation in our solar water heater was coming off so they documented it and fixed it for us. Price was very very fair. I continue to highly recommend this company. If you are going to spend $15-$50k on PV panels, why not spend another $150 a year to make sure the panels are clean and accepting all the solar power it can absorb? read more

We had Pacific Panel Cleaners come to our office in Kapolei to clean our solar panels. The owner Fred was very helpful and answered all of our questions. He was very professional and even helped us trobble shoot a problem we were having with our inverters. I would use them agian in a heart beat!! Thanks Fred read more

I didn't get my panels cleaned by Pacific, but their customer service is top notch. I will definitely consider them in the future.

Need your PV panels cleaned? This is your ultimate go to! One of my neighbors had recommended them so I decided to give them try. Contacted Pacific Panel Cleaners in January and spoke to Leslie, who provided me with excellent customer service. I signed up for a 5 year contract, which involves them coming once a year for the next 5 years. Their prices are exceptionally reasonable and they even offer military discount. Due to my hectic schedule, Leslie was able to schedule me for a Saturday, which worked out perfectly! Brian arrived on time and thoroughly explained what he would be doing during the appointment. Along with the cleaning, they also do an inspection of the roof, the PV panels itself and also ensure that everything is in good working condition. A few days later, I was emailed an invoice and an inspection report which was very thorough, detailed and easy to understand. Highly recommended! You won't be disappointed! read more
