Salt Air and Sea Spray
Close to the Gulf and the bay, a thin film of salt settles on everything, including panel glass. It's nearly invisible, but it scatters sunlight before it reaches the cells, and rain alone doesn't clear it. Salt air can also be hard on frames and mounting hardware over time, so we keep an eye on their condition while we're on the roof.
Pollen Season
Spring pollen from oaks, pines and other trees coats panels in a yellow-green film. Mixed with morning dew it turns sticky, and baked on by the sun it takes more than a garden hose to lift. A cleaning timed before or after pollen season gives panels a clean start.
Storms and Residue
Florida's rainy season leaves mineral residue and debris behind as the water dries. Organic residue is the other regular problem. It blocks light from part of a panel and can bake on, so it's worth removing sooner rather than later.
How Often to Clean
Many Sarasota homeowners clean before pollen season and again after storm season. Homes close to the water or under heavy tree cover may want more. We'll suggest a schedule when we quote.
