Professional Solar Panel Cleaning in Camarillo, CA
Expert Moss & Lichen Removal | Santa Rosa Valley & Somis Service
Why Camarillo Solar Panels Face Unique Challenges
Camarillo, Santa Rosa Valley, and Somis present distinct solar panel maintenance challenges due to mature oak trees, agricultural operations, and seasonal weather patterns that create the perfect conditions for moss, lichen, and debris accumulation. We live here and are experts in Solar Panel Cleaning Camarillo and the surrounding areas.
🌳 Oak Tree & Pine Debris
Camarillo’s beautiful mature oak and pine trees drop pollen, sap, and organic matter that bonds to solar panels. This creates ideal conditions for moss and lichen growth, especially in shaded areas.
🍃 Moss & Lichen Growth
The combination of tree shade, morning dew, and Camarillo’s mild climate creates perfect growing conditions for moss and lichen on solar panels – reducing efficiency by up to 35%.
🚜 Agricultural Dust & Pollen
Oxnard Plain, Santa Rosa Valley, and Somis farming and ranching operations contribute fine dust particles that mix with moisture to create stubborn films on panel surfaces.

Camarillo Homeowner Success Story
The Challenge: A central Camarillo homeowner’s panels were covered in moss and lichen even after the homeowner hosing down his panels. It had been two years since his last clean, during which time production had decreased by 34% despite Camarillo’s excellent sun exposure. The main issue was his proximity to a park with very large Ponderosa Pines and other trees.
The Solution: Our gentle lichen and moss removal process safely eliminated all organic growth without scratching the panel glass. We do not use harsh chemicals like bleach or fungicides.
The Result: an Immediate 17% increase in production that afternoon from the owner, and it was increasing as they sent me the text.

How do you remove moss without damaging panels?
We use specialized soft-bristle brushes and organic-safe solutions that dissolve moss and lichen at the root level without scratching the glass surface.
