We grew up under the same sun your panels do.
SoPas Solar Shine started in a South Pasadena garage in 2019, after our founder spent a decade installing solar across LA County and kept hearing the same thing from customers: "I have no idea who to call to keep these clean." So we built that company — small, local, and singularly focused on one job.
Our mission
Protect every solar investment in South Pasadena with cleaning that's safe, measurable, and routinely scheduled.
Our values
Show up on time. Treat each roof like a neighbor's roof — because it usually is. Leave it cleaner than we found it.
Our promise
If you don't see a noticeable production lift on your next bill, we'll come back and re-clean at no charge.
