For your trade / Pricing guide
Solar panel cleaning has the friendliest pricing math in exterior work: a per-panel rate, an access factor and a minimum. The customers are numbers people who bought solar to optimize a return, so a clear method wins them faster than a vague one.
Solar owners know exactly how many panels they have. It's in their app. That makes the per-panel rate the most frictionless quote in the trades. Set one number and let the count do the work.
Single-story walkable roofs are quick. Two stories with a steep pitch is real ladder-and-harness work. An access factor per story, or a pitch tier like roof cleaners use, keeps hard jobs from subsidizing easy ones.
Small starter arrays of 8 to 12 panels are common, and the drive plus setup costs the same as for a 40-panel roof. A firm minimum keeps the small arrays worth your morning.
Deionized water and soft brushes, no pressure washing on panels, no harsh chemistry near the seals. Putting the method next to the price answers the question every solar owner is quietly asking: will this damage my investment. The answer sells the job.
Sample walk-through with sample numbers. $12 per panel, second-story factor 1.25x, minimum $129. A 12-panel single-story array prices at $144. A 28-panel two-story system prices at 28 x 12 x 1.25, which is $420. Both quotes take ten seconds and neither needed a site visit.
The dollar figures above are sample numbers to show the method, not market-rate advice. Your market, your costs and your time set your real rates.
Everything on this page is exactly how the GleamBid quote widget prices jobs, with your numbers in place of the samples. Your customers answer the questions, your rates do the math, and finished quotes book themselves onto your calendar.
