We don’t install solar. We protect what you already own.
Top Solar Energy LLC is a dedicated solar maintenance company — not an installer offering cleaning on the side. We specialize in keeping existing PV systems clean, documented, and properly maintained through professional module washing and preventative care.

Straight answers
Do you install solar?
No. Top Solar Energy LLC is a dedicated solar maintenance company — not an installer offering cleaning on the side. We look after PV systems that are already on the roof, so nobody here is going to try to sell you a system or a battery.
When is your cleaning season?
We clean from May through October. That window covers the spring pollen load and the heavy summer build-up, and it closes with an end-of-season visit that gets your modules clear before the short winter days. Booking early in the season is the easiest way to get the date you want.
How much does a cleaning cost?
It depends on the module count, the height of the array and how much has built up, so Jesse quotes each job rather than publishing a flat rate that would be wrong for most homes. Call or text and he will give you a real number.
Do you use chemicals?
No abrasive chemicals and no detergents. We clean with pure water and solar-specific soft brush heads — purified water lifts soiling on its own and dries to a mineral-free, residue-free finish rather than leaving the spotting tap water leaves.
Will you walk on my roof?
Sometimes, yes — plenty of arrays can only be reached safely from the roof deck, and Jesse is set up to work up there. What never happens is walking on the modules themselves: the long-reach pole exists so the glass never takes any weight.
How often should I have it done?
Once during the season suits most homes around here. Twice makes sense if your array sits under trees, near open fields, or anywhere birds gather — plenty of people book an early-season and an end-of-season visit together.
What areas do you cover?
Residential cleaning runs roughly 25 miles out from Wadsworth, stretching to about 27 at the far southern edge — 69 towns across Lake County, the North Shore, the northwest suburbs and eastern McHenry County. Commercial, community solar and ground-mount work is available throughout Illinois.
