In the sun-soaked Central Valley, many homeowners have turned to solar energy to save on utility bills and embrace a more sustainable lifestyle. However, one crucial aspect often overlooked is the maintenance of solar panels. Gene Salazar, owner of Clear View General Services, knows firsthand how vital it is to keep your solar panels clean to ensure they operate at peak efficiency—and save you money.
Solar panels work hard to convert sunlight into electricity, but dirt, dust, and debris can significantly hamper their effectiveness. Research suggests dirty panels can lose up to 25% of their energy production. This means that if you’re not regularly cleaning your panels, you might be paying more for electricity than you need to.
Gene emphasizes, “A clean solar panel is a more efficient solar panel. Regular maintenance not only helps your system perform better but can also extend its lifespan. That’s money back in your pocket.”
Founded three years ago, Clear View General Services has quickly become a trusted name in the Central Valley, serving areas like Modesto, Riverbank, Manteca, Turlock, Stockton, and Ripon. With a strong background in construction and sales, Gene started this venture with a vision of providing excellent service and creating jobs in the community.
What sets Clear View apart from the competition? Gene’s company offers a comprehensive suite of services beyond just cleaning solar panels. “We have an extensive network of reliable contractors, allowing us to tackle various maintenance needs. We pride ourselves on being ‘Your Favorite General Service Company’—the one call you need to make for all your home service requirements,” he explains.
Regular cleaning can lead to significant savings on your energy bills. Ensuring your panels are grime-free will maximize their output, lowering utility costs. In addition, maintaining your solar panels can prevent long-term damage that might require costly repairs.
Gene suggests scheduling a cleaning at least twice yearly for homeowners looking to maintain their solar investments. “Think of it as a routine check-up for your solar system. Just like you wouldn’t skip maintenance on your car, you shouldn’t overlook your solar panels,” he advises.
Looking ahead, Gene has ambitious plans for Clear View General Services. He aims to expand to new Sacramento and Monterey County locations within three years, helping even more homeowners save energy and reduce costs while maintaining high service standards.
“I believe that with the right maintenance, everyone can benefit from the power of solar energy,” he states. “It’s about making solar accessible and effective for all homeowners.”
