The Sunrun advantage

Solar expertise:

Solar panels have delicate electronics and anti-reflective coatings that require specialized care. Sunrun’s certified partners have the solar-specific know-how, fall protection, and safety gear to get the job done right.

Professional quality:

Sunrun’s certified partners use pressurized deionized water and soft brushes to clear grime without leaving mineral film or scratches. A simple wash won’t cut it—increasing system output requires specialized tools built specifically for solar hardware.

One flat & predictable cost:

Unlike third parties who adjust quotes based on roof pitch, panel count, or heavy grime, Sunrun Shine offers a flat, predictable rate with zero hidden fees. Clean panels ensure you capture every kilowatt-hour your system was designed to produce.

FAQs

Rain on a solar panel is a lot like rain on a car windshield, it might wash off light dust, but it leaves behind water spots, grime, and streaks that block sunlight. Over time, stubborn buildup like pollen, bird droppings, and tree sap creates a thin film that rain simply can't remove. Sunrun Shine uses pressurized deionized water and soft brushes to clear away that film so your system can produce its full power.

Standard tap water contains heavy minerals that dry into a light-blocking film, while household soaps and chemical cleaners can scratch delicate anti-reflective coatings.
