Solar energy has gained popularity in California since the mid-to-late 2000s. It means that many systems are aging and require regular maintenance to continue producing electricity.
In Pasadena, homes are also exposed to pollen from trees growing in nearby wooded areas, as well as dust from the San Gabriel Mountains and Arroyo Seco. The buildup forms a film on the surface of your panel, limiting performance and accelerating corrosion.
Wildlife, smoke from wildfires, and particles from pollution drifting from LA can also affect solar panel performance.
