Why Solar Maintenance Is Important

Tap to explore how professional solar maintenance protects your system and your investment.

  • Example loss: 10% on ~9,000 kWh/year is ~900 kWh/year.
  • At $0.14/kWh, that’s ~$126/year; at 20% it’s ~$252/year.
  • That lost production repeats every year until cleaned (rates vary by utility and usage).

Estimates shown are examples; actual production and costs depend on system size, shading, local rates, and condition.

  • A single troubleshooting trip or electrician visit commonly runs ~$150–$300+.
  • Replacing a damaged panel can be ~$250–$500+ for the part, plus labor and time.
  • Protecting components helps your system reach its intended 25–30 year life.

Estimates shown are examples; actual production and costs depend on system size, shading, local rates, and condition.

  • Electrical diagnostics or repairs can cost ~$200–$600+ depending on access and parts.
  • A roof leak or damaged flashing repair can be ~$300–$1,500+.
  • Regular maintenance reduces the chance of small issues turning into expensive ones.

Estimates shown are examples; actual production and costs depend on system size, shading, local rates, and condition.

  • Birds often nest under solar panels because the space is sheltered, elevated, and protected from weather.
  • Solar panel bird proofing uses professional critter guard materials to block access beneath the array.
  • Critter guard helps reduce nesting, droppings, and debris while protecting wiring and other system components.

The right protection helps keep your solar array cleaner, quieter, and easier to maintain over time.

  • If you’re losing ~$150–$300/year in production, that’s ~$750–$1,500 over 5 years.
  • Cleaning often costs less than one year of avoidable production loss (home size varies).
  • Keeping output high improves payback and protects your investment.

Estimates shown are examples; actual production and costs depend on system size, shading, local rates, and condition.

  • Etching can’t always be restored with cleaning—replacement is sometimes the only fix.
  • Even one panel replacement can total ~$400–$900+ installed depending on access.
  • Regular washes prevent buildup from becoming irreversible damage.

Estimates shown are examples; actual production and costs depend on system size, shading, local rates, and condition.

"Mile High Solar Care offers a new and valuable service for us solar customers. The Before and After photos tell me what I long suspected. Those panels do get reeeeally marred and dusty. Now, they sparkle! With their infectious 'can do' attitude and positivity, Jeremy and Meryl make quick work of the cleaning. I look forward to their return to keep my solar panels in tip-top shape."

"Mile High Solar Care did an amazing job cleaning our panels. From the ground they looked fine, but up close there was a noticeable layer of dust and buildup. They were professional, explained everything clearly, and handled our steep roof safely. Panels look crystal clear now and we’ve already seen improved performance. We’ll definitely have them back in the next 6–12 months!"

Who We Are

Jeremy and Meral Runnels, founders of Mile High Solar Care
Read Our Story ▾

Mile High Solar Care was built from lived experience, hard lessons, and a deep conviction that people deserve better.

Before starting this company with my wife, Meral, I spent over six years in corporate America. I began at the very bottom—answering phones—and worked my way up to collaborating directly with executive leadership and CEOs. Along the way, I learned a great deal about innovation, problem-solving, and how large organizations operate.

But I also learned something else.

I saw firsthand how often people are treated as expendable. How loyalty is praised—until it’s inconvenient. How “values” look good on a wall, but don’t always show up when people need them most.

After a layoff and a transition into healthcare, I believed I had found something different. I thought working in a hospital system would mean helping people in a more direct, meaningful way. But over time, it became clear that many of the same corporate priorities still existed—metrics over people, systems over compassion.

Then everything changed.

When Meral was diagnosed with an extremely aggressive form of breast cancer, we experienced those systems from the other side—at our most vulnerable. Watching how she was treated, even as an employee, removed any remaining illusion. It became painfully clear how easily people can be reduced to numbers, schedules, or policies.

That season clarified everything.

We realized that if we wanted to build something rooted in integrity, care, and accountability, we had to build it ourselves.

Mile High Solar Care exists because we believe work should honor people—not exploit them. That trust is earned, not assumed. And that when someone invites you to work on their home, you owe them honesty, excellence, and respect.

We’re not interested in cutting corners or chasing volume. We’re here to do things the right way—show up when we say we will, communicate clearly, stand behind our work, and treat every customer like a neighbor.

This business is also about freedom—the freedom to choose integrity over pressure, family over burnout, and long-term impact over short-term gain. The American Dream was never about working endlessly for someone else’s bottom line. It was about building something meaningful, with the people you love, that serves others well.

We’re grateful for the road that led us here, for the faith that guides us, and for every customer who trusts us with their home.

That trust is not something we take lightly.

— Jeremy & Meral Runnels Founders, Mile High Solar Care
