How solar panel cleaning is priced

Solar panel cleaning is almost always priced per panel. The 2026 national range is $10 to $20 per panel, with most homeowners paying $150 to $500 per visit (about $325 on average). Most pros set a minimum fee of $100 or more.

System sizeTypical cost
5 – 10 panels$50 – $200
10 – 15 panels$100 – $300
15 – 25 panels$150 – $500
25 – 35 panels$250 – $700
35 – 45+ panels$350 – $900+

A system inspection, when it isn't bundled in, typically adds $150 to $350.

Pricing tough roofs

Steep pitches, second-story roofs and panels that need extra safety setup take longer. Instead of guessing, add a percentage surcharge. Many companies use 10% to 25%, but set yours from your own job times.

Frequently asked questions

How much should I charge per solar panel?

$10 to $20 per panel is the 2026 national range. Price at the higher end for steep or tall roofs, heavy bird droppings or long travel.

Should I offer solar cleaning with window cleaning?

Yes. It uses similar pure-water equipment, and bundling it raises the value of each stop on your route.
