Soiling is costing you money right now

Commercial arrays lose 5–15% of production to soiling

That's $550–$8,400/yr on a 200–1,000 panel facility — $8K–$23K/yr on a 1 MW system. NREL field data shows a US median ~5% loss with up to 15%+ in agricultural and industrial zones. One cleaning recovers a year's worth of losses on day one.

1,000-Panel Site

1 MW Facility

~$8K–$23K/yr

lost to soiling

Math: panels × ~430 kWh/yr (NREL PVWatts, Madison WI) × $0.131/kWh (EIA WI commercial avg) × 5–15% soiling loss (NREL 2024 Soiling Study, IEA-PVPS). All figures conservative.

Case Study · Government

Wisconsin State Capitol — +16.7% production lift

We restored production on the Capitol's 16-year-old rooftop array using the same warranty-safe pole-fed deionized water rig + soft-rotary brush we'd use on your facility. No foot traffic on glass. No harsh chemicals. Before-and-after monitoring confirmed a measured +16.7% efficiency jump in a single visit.
