Solar Panel Cleaning in Herndon, VA

Clearly Amazing cleans solar panels on homes and commercial buildings in the Town of Herndon, working from our Northern Virginia office in Sterling. We rinse with deionized water, brush softly, use eco-friendly products and apply no pressure, and nobody on our crews ever stands on a panel. The estimate is free, and we make it at the building. Our crews are our own employees and are covered by general liability and workers’ compensation insurance.

If your building is in the Historic District

In its Historic District Reference Guide, which was last updated on August 15, 2024, the Town lists solar panels by location. Street-facing locations, and sides of a building that do not face a street, are marked as staff-approved certificate items, and a rear location that does not face a street is marked exempt. The guide adds a general note that an improvement not visible from any street is exempt from review.

Those entries are about where panels go. The Town’s Historic District FAQ and board pages do not mention solar, and the 2020 overlay guidelines have no solar section, so the reference guide is where the Town says it. Routine cleaning is not on the guide’s list. We will not tell you cleaning panels is exempt or that it needs approval; owners inside the district can put the question to Town staff. The guide and the review are the Town of Herndon’s, not Fairfax County’s, and they apply only inside the district.

The Town’s solar tax-exemption form

The Town of Herndon’s Building Inspections office lists a Solar Energy Tax Exemption form among its permit forms. It asks the Town to certify installed equipment under section 58.1-3661 of the Code of Virginia, with plans, a narrative and the installed cost, and the Town certifies that the equipment has been inspected for compliance with the Uniform Statewide Building Code. It is the Town’s paperwork and has nothing to do with cleaning.

Questions Herndon customers ask

Are solar panels exempt from review in Herndon’s Historic District?
The Town’s reference guide lists them by location, and only for properties inside the district. Those entries concern where panels go, not cleaning them.

Does the Town’s tax-exemption form cover cleaning?
It is a certification request for installed equipment, and it is the Town’s paperwork rather than ours.

Do you clean commercial arrays?
Yes. Arrays on commercial buildings are part of the work, next to residential ones.
