Solar Panel Cleaning & Bird Proofing
in Southern California

I’m PJ Phillips, owner of PJ Solar Cleaning & Bird Proofing. Since 2017, my team and I have been taking care of what’s on top of your solar panels and what’s hiding underneath. If you’re looking for solar panel cleaning near me or solar panel bird proofing near me, tell me your city and what’s going on. We come to you across Southern California, with Arizona and Nevada appointments available too.

Name one thing in this world that’s maintenance-free. Your panels work on your roof every day, but too many homeowners don’t think about them until the electric bill goes up. I want you treating solar panel cleaning like your pool or landscaping: regular, scheduled maintenance. Rain doesn’t scrub your car or windshield, and it doesn’t scrub the grime off your panels.

Start with our DI-water solar panel cleaning or bird proofing with Bird-B-Gone mesh. Follow your panel manufacturer’s maintenance instructions. Here is how I got started.

Pigeons on the roof? My roof pigeon prevention guide covers ridges, ledges, nesting under solar panels and droppings cleanup.

Solar Panel Cleaning

I clean solar panels with deionized water and a soft-bristle brush, not just a rinse. Rain doesn’t scrub the grime. Let’s put your solar panel cleaning on a regular schedule, just like your pool or landscaping.

Solar Panel Bird Proofing

I fit solar panel pigeon guards and critter guards with Bird-B-Gone mesh and compatible clips. Before I quote, I check where birds are getting in, how the roof is shaped and what cleanup is needed.

View Service →

Roof Washing

I look at the roof material and the buildup before choosing the washing method. Tell me about the algae, grime or pigeon mess you need cleaned up.

View Service →

Gutters & Roof Valleys

Leaves, pine needles and pigeon debris don’t belong in your drainage path. I assess the gutters, roof valleys and accessible outlets and downspouts before cleanup.

View Service →

Bird Spikes

I use bird spikes where they fit the problem: perching on suitable ridges and ledges. Pigeons getting underneath your solar panels need a fitted bird barrier, not spikes alone.

View Service →

Solar Barrier Protection

Leaves and pine needles collect where you can’t easily see them. Ask me about solar barrier protection to help keep that debris from building up beneath your panels.

Solar Sales — The Way It Should Be

Every solar system sold through PJ Solar includes TWO YEARS of FREE solar panel cleaning and FREE bird proofing.

You deserve more than panels and a sales pitch.

Solar is an investment that needs maintenance. At PJ Solar, we put that conversation up front—and include cleaning and bird proofing with every system we sell.

Cleaning helps sunlight reach the solar cells. Bird proofing helps keep pigeons from nesting underneath your panels. Ongoing cleaning and inspections remain part of taking care of your system.

Ask every solar company this question:

“What are you including to help me maintain and protect my solar panels after the installation?”

If maintenance never comes up in the sales conversation, bring it up. Solar panels are not maintenance-free. You should know how to care for them before you sign.

Start your solar conversation with PJ

Tell us about your home, electricity use and what you want from solar. We’ll discuss your options, the included cleaning and bird proofing, and whether battery backup fits your plans.

Two years of free cleaning. Free bird proofing. This Is How It’s Supposed to Look.

Battery Backup & VPP

Battery Backup & Virtual Power Plant (VPP)

PJ Solar is working with Gary “G Money” to help homeowners explore battery backup and a virtual power plant program through a Palmetto battery lease.

Battery-only subscription

Already have solar—or just interested in battery storage? Ask about the battery-only subscription G Money describes, designed to use lower-cost electricity and reduce how much power you buy during expensive peak hours.

Charge during the day. Use stored power at night.

In G Money’s explanation, the battery charges during the day, then supplies power in the evening and overnight. The goal is to shift electricity use away from higher on-peak utility rates while adding backup power for outages.

Potential savings: up to 40% annually

G Money’s video presents potential annual savings of up to 40%, using an example of roughly 10,000 kWh of electricity use. He describes a possible reduction from about 40¢ to 19¢ per kWh under the program. These are the program examples discussed in his video; your home’s proposal determines your actual rate, subscription cost and estimated savings.

What does “virtual power plant” mean?

A virtual power plant connects participating home batteries into a coordinated network. Ask PJ and G Money how participation works for your utility and how the battery is managed for daily use and backup.

Backup when the power goes out

The battery also provides an opportunity to keep selected household loads powered during an outage. The equipment and system design determine what can run and for how long.

Find out what fits your home

Contact PJ with your city, electric utility, recent power bill and whether you already have solar. PJ and G Money can discuss the Palmetto lease, battery-only options and a proposal for your home.

The Right Bird-Proofing Materials Matter

PJ Solar uses genuine Bird-B-Gone mesh and compatible clips—not unverified generic Amazon mesh. Inferior alternatives can corrode, loosen, and let birds return. Unapproved materials may affect warranty coverage depending on the manufacturer's terms.

REAL PJ SOLAR CLEANUP

28 bags. Approximately 1,400 pounds removed.

These photos show the scale of a real PJ Solar cleanup: heavy pigeon droppings and nesting debris exposed beneath lifted solar panels, followed by the bags of waste removed from the property. What is hidden beneath the panels matters just as much as what you can see on top.

ASK PJ • SOLAR CARE FAQ

Your solar questions, answered.

Get straight answers about cleaning prices, rain, pigeon prevention and keeping your bird-proofing warranty in place.

PJ Solar’s standard cleaning is $150 for 1–15 panels. For more than 15 panels, the price is $10 per panel: 20 panels are $200 and 30 panels are $300. Heavy buildup, overspray removal and applicable travel are quoted separately.

See cleaning prices.

PJ recommends cleaning about every six months, adjusted to the dust, bird activity, trees and other conditions at your property. We use DI water only on the panel glass. Your manufacturer’s care instructions also matter.

Rain does not scrub stuck-on bird droppings or grime off the panel glass. Look at the condition of your panels after the rain instead of assuming a rainstorm replaced cleaning.

PJ Solar uses genuine Bird-B-Gone mesh and clips, not generic off-brand mesh. Thin or poorly secured alternatives can rust or loosen and allow birds back under panels. Unapproved materials may affect warranty coverage. Existing nesting material and droppings require assessment and cleanup as part of the job.

Learn about solar panel bird proofing.

An on-site inspection is needed before PJ Solar gives a bird-proofing price. Each home is different: array layout, perimeter measurements, roof access, existing barriers and the amount of pigeon mess affect the scope and quote.

Yes. Cleaning the panel glass and inspecting the barrier serve different purposes. Annual cleaning and inspection are required to maintain PJ Solar’s five-year labor warranty. Tell us if roof or solar work has disturbed the mesh.

Read what comes after bird proofing.

A fitted barrier can help reduce leaves and pine needles collecting beneath the panels. It still needs regular checks and maintenance; debris can also collect around the outside of the array.
