In response to a growing number of businesses looking to expand their positive impact on the environment, REC Solar is excited to announce the addition of Panel Slugging to its growing portfolio of solutions and services.
Drawing inspiration from the wildly popular “skin slugging” skincare technique – which involves applying a thick layer of petroleum jelly to your face to lock in moisture – REC Solar’s Panel Slugging services will include the delivery of thousands of slugs (and, in select California locations, banana slugs) for positioning on your ground-mount solar arrays.
The slugs’ sticky, polymer-rich mucus will clean dirty panels and provide a protective layer that prevents scratches from environmental factors (like dust). As an extra benefit, the slugs will help manage vegetation by eating grass and weeds that grow beneath the solar panels.
It’s the perfect solution for customers who need extra worry-free help maintaining the efficiency and upkeep of their solar arrays after installation.

Okay, you got us – there’s no such thing as Panel Slugging. But wouldn’t you like to take advantage of a real solution that provides expert operations of your solar assets?
While we may not offer Panel Slugging services, REC Solar is here to finance your next solar project as a power purchase agreement (PPA).
With a commercial solar PPA, you pay for the energy your solar system produces so leave the operations and maintenance (and any new cleaning trends, fads and technologies) to us. You provide the site, and our dedicated team of solar experts — humans, not slugs – will handle the design, build, operations, maintenance and system optimization so your team can focus on more pressing matters (like skin slugging perhaps?).
