Coastal Summers Demand Smarter Solar Care

Summer solar performance isn’t just about sunshine—it’s about upkeep. Coastal states like New Jersey, New York, and California expose your system to unique environmental stressors that necessitate proactive maintenance.

Here’s how to keep your panels running at full capacity in June.

What Makes Coastal Summers Challenging

From the fog of San Francisco to the humidity of New Jersey, coastal homeowners deal with issues like salt air, urban grime, bird activity, and shaded rooftops. These can all reduce solar panel efficiency if left unchecked.

June Solar Tips for NJ, NY & CA Homeowners

1. Remove Salt or Smog Film

In coastal areas or big cities, grime builds up quickly. A soft hose rinse early in the day can improve production by up to 20%.

2. Monitor for Bird Activity

Seagulls and pigeons love rooftops. Bird droppings can reduce panel efficiency and corrode surface materials. Consider bird deterrents or a light wash.

3. Clear Gutter & Roof Debris

Leaves and debris can blow in during June’s gusty coastal winds. These can clog drainage and add shade to panels.

4. Check for Heat Island Effects

Urban dwellers in NYC and LA should check rooftop temps and ensure proper ventilation to avoid overheating inverters and panels.
