All One Solar Shine cleans all types of solar panels for residential and commercial clients in Santa Clara and Sacramento Counties. In addition to helping its customers enhance the energy output of their solar power systems, the company has the in-house capabilities to clean gutters, wash windows, provide customized birdproofing solutions and more.
Owner Steve Soriano credits much of All One Solar Shine’s success to its customer-oriented business practices. “Our clients appreciate that we don’t push them—we simply explain why our services are beneficial and provide the information they need to make informed decisions,” he says. “When they come to us, they know they’re choosing a company that genuinely cares about improving the performance of their solar systems.”
All One Solar Shine prioritizes transparency in every aspect of its work, which Mr. Soriano says is important for establishing trust with its clients. “We believe in going the extra mile for our customers, so while we’re cleaning their solar panels, we also check for issues like cracked roof tiles and provide ‘before and after’ photos of our work. This allows them to see exactly what we’ve done, even if they aren’t home during the service.”
“We understand that solar is a significant investment, so we’re committed to providing our clients with thorough, detail-oriented cleaning services that preserve, enhance, and safeguard their systems. Whether we’re working on five panels or 5,000 panels, we utilize our top-tier equipment and highly skilled technicians to ensure the best possible results.”
Make the most of your solar investment by having your panels routinely cleaned by a professional.
California homeowners spend thousands of dollars to outfit their homes with solar power, but only a small percentage make the comparably minute investment to keep their systems performing optimally with routine solar panel cleanings.
“Most people who own solar systems don’t even realize the panels need to be cleaned,” says Steve Soriano, owner of All One Solar Shine in Gilroy. “Solar panels build up dirt over time, which inhibits sunlight absorption and makes them less efficient. If you paid a certain amount of money for your system and expect a certain level of power production, you’re essentially losing money when your panels are dirty. Having them cleaned on a regular basis is a great way to protect your investment.”
When hiring someone to clean your solar panels, Mr. Soriano strongly recommends choosing a company that exhibits traits of professionalism. “Anyone with a squeegee and a ladder can offer solar cleaning services, but you don’t want to hire just anyone,” he warns. “Not only can you expose yourself to liability if an injury occurs, but you also want to make sure the work is being done to a high standard. An amateur cleaner may not know the proper way to clean solar panels, and worse still, they could potentially damage your solar array and you wouldn’t even realize it until long after the fact.”
Mr. Soriano says a professional company will use the right tools and methods, such as deionized water that doesn’t leave behind mineral deposits and hydraulic-driven brushes that clean thoroughly without damaging panels. “It’s definitely worth the additional investment to hire a solar panel cleaner that provides peace of mind and quality service.”
Solar system cleaning companies are always looking for ways to differentiate themselves from their competition, and those that have earned Diamond Certified are already several steps ahead. In addition to its Diamond Certified status, All One Solar Shine strives to set itself apart by being a vanguard of professionalism in a growing industry. “We aren’t just a couple of guys with squeegees—we’re properly trained and we use commercial-grade equipment like hydraulic brushes and water filtration systems,” says owner Steve Soriano. “We believe these professional attributes add significant value to the services we offer.”
All One Solar Shine has been cleaning solar panels for residential and commercial clients in Santa Clara and Sacramento Counties since 2021. In addition to helping people improve the efficiency of their solar systems, the company has the training and equipment to wash windows, clean gutters, provide birdproofing solutions, and more.
Unlike less experienced solar panel cleaning companies that lack proper insurance, All One Solar Shine takes measures to shield its customers from legal liability. “Hiring an uninsured service provider to work on your home is risky, especially if they’re working on your roof,” says Mr. Soriano. “In addition to training our technicians on rooftop safety precautions, we carry general liability and workers’ compensation insurance to ensure everyone is covered in the event of an on-the-job injury.”
Another distinguishing aspect of All One Solar Shine is its transparent approach to quality assurance. “Since our customers generally don’t come up on the roof to view the work, we take pictures before and after the job so they can see what was done,” explains Mr. Soriano. “Ultimately, we want them to feel confident that they got their money’s worth.”
