$500 threshold triggers CSLB licensing requirements for solar maintenance work in California (California Contractors State License Board, cslb.ca.gov). Any contractor performing solar panel cleaning or maintenance work valued over $500 must hold a valid CSLB license. Steven Park holds CSLB B General Building Contractor License #1052876, Active, verifiable at cslb.ca.gov. Hiring an unlicensed contractor for solar work above $500 is illegal under California law and voids most manufacturer warranties.
0 warranty claims have resulted from our cleaning methods in 8+ years of service. We exclusively use manufacturer-approved deionized water and soft wash squeegee techniques.
