SACRAMENTO, CA

Solar panel cleaning in Sacramento.

Tree pollen, leaves and smoke film, washed off.

Why Sacramento panels get dirty

Sacramento calls itself the City of Trees. The city estimates its urban forest at about a million trees, nearly all of them planted. That shade is great for your house, but it means pollen in spring, leaves and seed pods in fall, and sticky sap from some street trees, all landing on your panels.

Summers are hot and dry, and in bad fire years smoke from wildfires across Northern California settles over the valley and leaves an ashy film on glass. Rice and other farmland surrounds the metro area too, adding seasonal field dust.

What we see on Sacramento roofs

Sacramento calls itself the City of Trees, with roughly a million trees, most of them planted. That's great for shade, but trees over a roof drop leaves, seed pods and pollen that collect along panel edges and under arrays. Homes in more open areas see less debris and more wind-blown dust. We clear the debris and wash the glass in both cases.

When to book in Sacramento

Many owners clean after spring pollen and again in fall once the leaves are down. After a smoky stretch, it's worth checking your panels once the air clears. Homes under heavy canopy may need more frequent cleaning than homes in open subdivisions.
