Solar Panel Cleaning in New Glarus, WI
New Glarus sits in Green County, Wisconsin, about 32 miles from our Madison base. Green County's dairy belt creates a year-round agricultural soiling profile — and New Glarus installs share that profile. Whether it's a residential rooftop or a small commercial array, panels here see the kind of buildup that rain alone simply can't remove.

Questions we get from New Glarus homeowners.
How much does solar panel cleaning cost in New Glarus, WI?
Residential solar panel cleaning in New Glarus is $7 per panel (1-story, $150 minimum) or $9 per panel (2-story, $215 minimum) — we charge whichever is greater, never both. Standard mileage from our Madison base (32 miles to New Glarus) is included in the final emailed quote. Commercial and agricultural sites in Green County are custom-bid within 24 hours.
Why do solar panels in New Glarus need professional cleaning?
New Glarus panels face green county dairy and cropland drift, plus hard municipal water (15-20 grains per gallon) that leaves mineral spots if homeowners try to rinse with a garden hose. At Alliant Energy's 15.50¢/kWh residential rate, a typical 20-panel New Glarus system loses roughly $107/yr of production to soiling — recoverable in one professional cleaning.
