Why San Jose panels get dirty
San Jose has a Mediterranean climate: most of the rain falls from November to March, and May through October is very dry. That means about half the year with nothing to rinse your panels, while dust, pollen and traffic grime keep landing on them.
The city is crisscrossed by Highways 101, 280, 880, 680 and 87, and traffic on them never really stops. Homes near freeways tend to get a fine, sticky film that holds dust.
What we see on San Jose roofs
San Jose has a wide mix of homes, from older houses under street trees to newer builds, plus plenty of flat-roof and carport arrays at townhomes and businesses. Homes near the foothills can pick up dust and, in fire season, ash. Under street trees we usually find leaves and pollen too. Whatever the roof, we plan safe footing before we start.
When to book in San Jose
A good rhythm for many owners is late spring, after pollen and before the dry summer, and again in early fall before the rains return. After a smoky week, check your panels once the air clears.
