Repair, reinstall, or clean, by system size. A real range before a specialist visits.
Estimate my costPollen, valley dust, and wildfire ash by month, and when a clean actually pays off.
See the calendarMost directories stop at cleaning. Your panels need more than that over a 25-year life. We match you with the right vetted specialist for the actual problem, a licensed C-46 solar contractor for electrical faults and reinstalls, a warranty-safe cleaner for soiling.
Production dropped and cleaning didn't fix it? The fault is usually electrical, a dead microinverter, optimizer, or connector. Diagnosed and repaired by a C-46 pro.
Re-roofing under an array means every panel and rail comes off first, then goes back on re-sealed and re-commissioned. Coordinated so both warranties stay intact.
A once-a-year diagnostic that catches small failures before they cost a season: connector corrosion, microcracks, inverter health, mounting and flashing integrity.
Soft-brush + softened water, never pressure washing. The entry service, see the seasonal calendar below for exactly when Sacramento Valley panels need it.
Cleaning is the service most homeowners need most often, so here is the whole year of it. Every month, something different lands on your panels, pollen in March, Central Valley dust in July, wildfire ash in September. This is when each season starts, and when to clean. Every partner cleaner uses warranty-safe methods, never pressure washing.
A directory, not the contractor. Free to get matched with a local pro.
When you sign up for the seasonal plan, we match you with a vetted local cleaner whose schedule aligns with the calendar. Same cleaner each visit. Quarterly billing. Cancel anytime.
Wipes off the sticky almond film before the heat bakes it into a varnish.
Catches the dust before it stacks. Production typically recovers 7 to 10% on the first sunny day after.
Same-week. Network specialists prioritize plan customers for emergency post-fire scope.
Bird buildup, rain streaks, plus a microcrack/connector inspection before the low-sun months.
Solar cleaning is the wild west of the solar industry, some operators pressure-wash, some use streak-leaving detergent, some don't carry roof-work insurance. We don't onboard cleaners we wouldn't put on our own roof. The checklist below is the floor, not the ceiling.
C-46 (Solar) or C-39 (Roofing) or business license appropriate to scope. License number disclosed before scheduling.
Soft-bristle telescoping brush + softened deionized water. No pressure washing, it voids panel warranties.
Cleaning practices verified against Panasonic, REC, Q CELLS, LG, and SunPower warranty terms.
Current certificate with roof-work coverage. Your home named as additional insured for the visit.
OSHA-compliant fall-arrest setup. Workers' comp current. Required for any roof access.
Pre-clean and post-clean kWh reading recorded from your monitoring app. You see the lift in writing.
Plain softened water + soft brush. No soap, no streaks, no residue. Manufacturer-approved technique.
Flat per-visit price. No surprise upcharges for panel count or roof pitch. Quoted before the truck leaves.
Pick what your system needs. These are honest local ranges for Sacramento Valley homes, built to give you a real number before anyone sets foot on the roof. We are a referral directory, so the figure below is guidance, not a quote. The vetted specialist confirms the final price after they see the system.
Cleaning dollar figures use PG&E E-TOU-C rates (peak roughly $0.34 / kWh for about 30% of generation, off-peak for the rest). Repair and reinstall ranges are typical local job costs and move with roof access, parts, and system size. Every figure is confirmed by the vetted specialist on site. Conservative estimates.
The industry sold hundreds of thousands of Sacramento-area homeowners a rooftop system and then largely walked away. Nobody tells you that panels get soiled and lose production, that microinverters and optimizers fail years before the panels do, or that when your roof needs replacing the entire array has to come off first and go back on afterward. Most owners find out the hard way, a monitoring app running 15% low, an inverter throwing an error code, or a roofer who refuses to touch the panels.
NorCal Solar Care exists to cover the whole life of the system, not just the easy part. We match you with a licensed CSLB C-46 solar contractor for repair, diagnostics, and roof-replacement remove-and-reinstall, and with a warranty-safe cleaner for soiling. Every partner is vetted for license, insurance, and manufacturer-warranty-compatible practice, no pressure washing, no handyman electrical work, no shortcuts that cost you a $4,000 warranty.
We're new, and we lead with the truth: when to clean, when to skip, when the problem is dirt and when it's a real fault, and what each job should actually cost. The seasonal calendar above is where that honest conversation starts.
Repair, roof-replacement remove-and-reinstall, an annual health check, or a warranty-safe clean, describe the job and we match you with the right vetted specialist. Most match within one business day.
Free and quick.
