# Solar Alchemist

> Professional solar panel cleaning services for residential, commercial, and government customers across Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. Owner-operated, OSHA-certified, fully insured. We help solar owners recover lost production caused by dust, pollen, bird droppings, and seasonal grime — protecting the ROI and warranty of their solar investment.

Solar Alchemist is led by founder Marquis Mason, a U.S. Army veteran based in Beloit, Wisconsin. We serve homeowners, businesses, farms, and government facilities — including a documented case study on the Wisconsin State Capitol rooftop. Residential pricing is transparent with published floor minimums ($135 1-story, $215 2-story) and a free instant calculator on the website. Commercial, agricultural, and government sites are custom-priced — Marquis personally reviews each facility and emails a written bid with a firm price within 24 hours. We do not guarantee specific performance percentages; we frame results as recovering lost production due to soiling.

## Pricing

- **Residential** (free instant calculator on /pricing):
  - 1-story floor: $135 for systems up to 20 panels

  - One-Time / Annual (5% off) / Bi-Annual (10% off) plan discounts

## Quick FAQ

- **Does rain clean solar panels?** No — rain leaves pollen, mineral film, and hard-water residue. A documented customer testimony on /our-work confirms this directly.
- **How much does residential cleaning cost?** Starts at $135 (1-story) or $215 (2-story) for ≤20 panels. Use the free calculator at /pricing.
- **How much does commercial cleaning cost?** Every commercial site is custom-bid. Submit a quick intake on /pricing → Commercial tab and Marquis personally emails a written bid with a firm price within 24 hours.
- **Is there a way to try the service before committing?** Yes — first-time customer specials are available, and every commercial relationship can start with a one-time clean before committing to an annual or bi-annual contract.
- **How often?** Most Wisconsin homes benefit from 1–2 cleanings per year. Agricultural / pollen-heavy zones may need bi-annual.
- **Will cleaning void my warranty?** No — we follow manufacturer-approved protocols (soft brush, biodegradable soap, deionized water rinse, no walking on panels).
- **Are you insured?** Yes. Certificate of Insurance available on request for commercial and government clients. Net-30 invoicing available.
