Fast, Reliable Solar Panel Cleaning Across Hurst
Solar panel cleaning in Hurst typically costs between $150 and $325 for a standard residential array, and we can usually be at your home within 24 to 48 hours of your call. If you live in Hurst, you already know what spring storm season does to your roof, your gutters, and yes, your solar panels. We’re Gus’s Solar, and our crews work Hurst neighborhoods every week, from the ranch homes off Bellaire Drive to the cul-de-sacs of 76054. Call (877) 550-6892 and a live person answers, day or night.
Why Gus’s Solar Is Hurst’s Preferred Solar Panel Cleaning Company
Gus Petrakis started this company in 2011 with a simple rule: his name goes on the truck, so the work better be right. That still holds. When we send a crew to clean panels in Hurst, those are background-checked, uniformed technicians who work for Gus, not a subcontractor we’ve never met. You’ll know who’s on your roof before they set foot on it.
Hurst homeowners keep calling us back because we understand what this specific city throws at a solar array. We know that the 1972 ranch on a low-pitch gable roof collects pollen and bird droppings faster than a newer two-story in Colleyville. We know that after a hailstorm rolls through Tarrant County, you need someone who can tell the difference between surface soiling and actual impact damage. And we know the neighborhoods: the mid-century cul-de-sacs where every third house still has the original 100-amp Federal Pacific panel feeding it. That local knowledge saves you time and money.
We answer the phone. A live person, 24/7. No voicemail tree, no ticket system. You call (877) 550-6892, you get a human who can schedule your Hurst panel cleaning on the spot.
Our Solar Panel Cleaning Services in Hurst
Residential Panel Cleaning
A standard residential panel cleaning in Hurst runs $150 to $280 for most arrays. Our crew uses deionized water and soft-bristle brushes so nothing scratches the glass or voids your manufacturer’s warranty. On Hurst’s ranch homes, where panels sit at a shallow angle, we’re typically done in under two hours, and you’ll see the difference on your next Oncor bill.

Commercial Array Cleaning
Hurst has its share of commercial rooftops with PV arrays, from retail off Grapevine Highway to offices near the Northeast Mall. Commercial cleaning jobs in Hurst usually start around $400 and scale with array size and roof access. We work after hours or on weekends when it makes sense, so you don’t have to close up shop for us to do the work.

Bird & Critter Guard Installation
Pigeons love the space under a solar array. They nest there, and in Hurst’s older ranch neighborhoods, one nesting pair can become a flock in a single season. We install galvanized mesh critter guards around the entire perimeter of your array, sealing the gap between the panel edge and the roof deck. A typical critter guard installation in Hurst runs $300 to $600 depending on array size, and it keeps the birds out for good.

Debris & Soiling Removal
After a Tarrant County spring storm, we see arrays covered in pulverized leaves, shingle grit, and wind-blown dirt. Debris and soiling removal in Hurst typically runs $175 to $300. We also clear tree litter, cottonwood fluff, and construction dust if you’ve had roofing or foundation crews kicking up mess nearby. If you’re in the middle of a remodel, we can schedule a cleanup before and after the heavy work.

Post-Storm Panel Cleaning in Hurst’s Hail Corridor
Here’s what makes Hurst different from almost anywhere else in Texas. The city sits squarely in Tarrant County’s hail-active corridor, where spring and early-summer storm cells regularly produce golf-ball-sized hail. That means every panel on a Hurst roof needs to be IEC 61215 impact-rated, because the alternative, a cracked PV module left uncleaned, traps moisture and debris in its micro-fractures and degrades faster than it should. It also voids the manufacturer’s impact warranty.
After a spring hail cell moved through Hurst’s 76054 last year, our crew pulled onto a 1972 ranch street off Bellaire Drive. The original Zinsco panel had already been swapped for 200-amp service, which was good, but the array was a mess. PV modules were covered in pulverized leaf debris, and one hail-cracked panel was bypassing power entirely. We removed the soiling, documented the panel’s production loss against its pre-storm inverter logs, and replaced the cracked module under its IEC 61215 impact-rated warranty. The inverter’s dip in output had already cost the homeowner part of that month’s net metering credit. That’s the kind of loss that doesn’t show up until you look at the statement.
This is why we push post-storm panel cleaning in Hurst harder than we do in drier West Texas markets. Hail damage doesn’t always announce itself. A microinverter on one panel can fail silently and drag down the entire string’s production. The only way to catch it is to get on the roof and look.
Trusted Brands We Service in Hurst
We clean and maintain arrays built on Panasonic, Canadian Solar, and JinkoSolar modules, among others. Our Hurst customers with FranklinWH battery storage get the same careful handling on the panel side, because a dirty array feeding a battery means the battery charges slower and stores less. If your system uses Enphase microinverters or SolarEdge optimizers, we check those during every cleaning visit, because a hail-damaged microinverter on a Hurst roof is not rare, and it’s not something you can spot from the ground. Our crews carry the cleaning supplies and testing equipment needed for all these brands, so we don’t have to reschedule you for a second visit.
Common Solar Panel Cleaning Problems We See in Hurst Homes
- Hail-cracked panels left uncleaned. Hurst roofs take impact damage during spring storms, and a cracked panel that sits with soiling in the fracture lines degrades faster than one that’s inspected and addressed. We document the damage, check your production logs, and help you file the warranty claim.
- Bird droppings on low-pitch ranch roofs. On those 1960s and 1970s homes with shallow panel tilt, pigeon droppings and pollen don’t wash off with rain. They bake on and cut your kWh offset by double digits between cleanings.
- Pollen and cottonwood buildup in 76053 and 76054. Spring in Hurst means heavy pollen, and if you’re near any of the older tree-lined streets, cottonwood fluff lands on your panels and sticks there. A mid-spring cleaning restores the production you’ve been losing all season.
- Post-storm microinverter failures. One hail-damaged microinverter on a string can reduce the entire array’s output, and you won’t know until your true-up statement shows a lower credit. We test each panel’s output during cleaning so you know exactly what’s working.
Pricing for Solar Panel Cleaning in Hurst, TX
Here’s the honest math for Hurst. A single-story residential array under 20 panels typically costs $150 to $280 to clean. Two-story homes with steeper roof access run $225 to $350. Commercial arrays start at $400 and go up from there based on square footage and access. Critter guard installation runs $300 to $600 for most Hurst homes. Post-storm inspection and cleaning, where we check for hail impact and test panel output, runs $200 to $375. Every quote is upfront, there’s no trip charge inside our own county, and we never ask you to sign anything tonight. Take two weeks. Think about it. The price will be the same.

FAQs - Solar Panel Cleaning in Hurst
Hurst homeowners should have panels inspected after every significant hail event, and cleaned at least twice a year, once after spring pollen and once after fall leaf drop. The hail corridor means damage can happen suddenly, and cleaning is when we spot it. Call (877) 550-6892 to schedule a post-storm inspection; it’s a lot cheaper than a full panel replacement.
Yes, cleaning your panels doesn’t require an electrical panel upgrade. But if we find damage or if you’re planning to expand your array, the 100-amp Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel is a bottleneck we’ll flag. Oncor’s interconnection rules effectively require 200-amp service for new solar work, and in Hurst’s 1960s and 1970s housing stock, that upgrade is the norm before any array expansion can be permitted. We’ll tell you honestly if it’s needed, and we don’t upsell it when it isn’t.
Yes. In Hurst, spring pollen and cottonwood can cut panel output by 10 to 25 percent depending on accumulation. A thorough cleaning restores that production immediately, and you’ll see it on your next bill. If your panels haven’t been cleaned in a year or more, the difference is usually noticeable the first week.
Yes, we can. We’ll remove the nesting material, clean the panels, and install galvanized critter guards around the array perimeter in one trip. Pigeon nesting is common under solar panels on Hurst’s ranch homes, and we’d rather solve it once than have you call us back in three months. Call (877) 550-6892 for same-visit scheduling.
Not necessarily. A one-day dip can mean the system was shut down by a utility event, or it can indicate a hail-damaged microinverter or cracked panel. The only way to know is a physical inspection. We check each panel’s output, compare it against the pre-storm logs, and document anything that needs a warranty claim. In Hurst’s hail corridor, that inspection is worth doing after every storm.
