True Light Solar started in Lincoln, CA from a realization of a real need. Travis, an Environmental Science graduate, was looking out at a neighbor's dirty solar panels which had been installed only a couple months prior. He began to ponder the dirt and grime covering the panels and how the output of the panels was compromised from the build up.
He realized there was a real need for solar panel cleaning in his area. Coupled with his passion to see renewable energy be maximized and his entrepreneur mind, True Light Solar was established. Travis and Lindsey have been married for 16 years of their 25 year relationship. They homeschool their 3 children, ages 13, 12, and 10.

Photovoltaic solar systems are a huge investment. Just like your car needs maintenance every few thousand miles, your solar system needs to be maintained to keep it performing at its best. Dirt, bird droppings, pollen, and dust cause decreased efficiency of your panels. Cleaning and inspection on a regular basis ensures that you are maximizing your investment and generating as much electricity as possible.
We recently received some data from a customer showing the results of the solar panel cleaning done by True Light Solar. The customer was experiencing decreased power generation this year in 2017 (shown on the ORANGE line) compared to power generation in 2016 (shown on the BLUE line). True Light Solar cleaned all 16 panels on 9/20/17 resulting in a 25% increase in daily generation and a 20% increase from 2016 when the panels were almost new.*
We do our best to get an estimate out to you in 24 hours, with the exception of weekends which will be a longer turn around. Please look for an email from True Light Solar and add the email address: notifications@housecallpro.com to your contacts.
Enter the number of panels in your system, estimates will be based on customer approximation and the estimate is subject to change based on a satellite mapping count of the panels or onsite count of the panels.

We had True Light out today to install a bird barrier around our solar, spikes on the roof and to get it cleaned. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. We have been on the fence for a while to get it done and glad we went with True Light. Made the process seamless, friendly staff and it looks great.

We live in an area that gets very dusty!!!! AND there are pigeons everywhere that like to live under panels and mess them up... so we did a pre-emptive strike and installed the mesh under the panels and had the panels cleaned and inspected. It was mid-range in price -- but it was excellent service and worth every penny! Very good communication! They get booked up quickly so I had to wait almost a month for my pigeon abatement...thankfully, pigeons weren't a big problem for me. HIGHLY RECOMMEND TRUE LIGHT SOLAR! We'll be calling them again in the spring to clean our panels again.

Terrific husband and wife company that responds quickly and does a more than professional job. Attention to details every step of the way including using deionized water and thermal imaging. Years of grime removed for our solar panel cleaning and system is now producing at full capacity. Thank you for a terrific job well done.

I just had my solar panels cleaned and checked by Travis Finn from True Light Solar, and I couldn't be more pleased with the professional, thorough work! And I felt very confident even before the work was done due to the quick response to my request for a quote and the detail in contacting me with reminders and updates. Lindsey and Travis make an excellent business team, and the result of the cleaning increased my kWh by 35% immediately. Pricing is very competitive. So happy with the results and will continue to use True Light Solar!

Highly recommend Travis from True Light Solar for cleaning and testing solar panels as well as pigeon proofing. You get more solar power with clean working panels. We've used True Light Solar several times over the years and Travis is always on time, professional and courteous. He does an amazing job and prices are fair.

True Light has cleaned and inspected my panels a few times and recently installed pest abatement barriers to keep pigeons from making a mess, damaging my roof, and waking me up. Each time I have worked with Travis and Lindsey and I have been extremely impressed by them both. They are punctual, reasonable priced, communicative, fastidious, very friendly, and always do more than they promised. With all sincerity, this company is one of the absolute best I've ever had the pleasure to do business with.

I have been having huge issues with pigeons on my roof, under my solar panels and causing a huge mess in my backyard and side of my house. I called Lindsey at True Light Solar and she was fantastic. I scheduled the install of some pigeon barriers, a cleanup off all the pigeon crap, and had my solar panels cleaned. Travis showed up early and was extremely professional, knowledgeable and a hard worker. Travis completed the job early and it looked great. He even noticed another place on the roof that the pigeons might start to stay since he took away there spot and he installed a barriers

Trustworthy and dependable! When you ask a service provider, "What other services do you have that you think I need?", and the response is nothing else for now, you know that they're not out to squeeze unnecessary business out of you. Travis did an incredible job cleaning our solar panels!!! I highly recommend this service to my family and friends. Keep up the good work, True Light Solar! I will be a repeat customer.

Exceptional service! Lindsey was great in helping us set up the appointment and answered all of our questions while Travis did fantastic work cleaning the gutters and our solar panels. Every step of the process was laid out and explained to us. We will definitely be using them again in the future and recommend them wholeheartedly.
