Why Manteca panels get dirty
Manteca grew up as a farm town in south San Joaquin County, and farmland still surrounds it on most sides. Fields, orchards and dairies turn up fine dust through much of the year, and that dust settles on roofs across town. Dust that sits on the glass blocks sunlight and lowers what your panels produce.
Manteca also sits on Highway 120 between Interstate 5 and Highway 99. Steady car and truck traffic on those routes leaves a thin, oily film on nearby glass. That film catches dust, so panels near the freeways can turn hazy faster than the rest of the roof suggests.
What we see on Manteca roofs
Manteca has been one of the faster growing cities in the state, so many neighborhoods have newer homes with panels on more than one roof face. Rain rarely falls in summer, so dirt builds up for months and collects along the lower edge of each panel. We clean every roof face and that bottom edge, not just the easy middle.
When to book in Manteca
Summer is when your system works hardest and when dry, dusty weather lasts the longest. Many owners clean in late spring and again in fall. Homes next to open fields, orchards or the freeways may need it more often. If your panels don't need a wash yet, we'll tell you.
