Protect Performance in Coastal Conditions

Solar efficiency challenges in San Jose are often caused by urban air pollution, dust buildup, seasonal smog, and frequent cloud cover from the marine layer, which can limit sunlight exposure. High summer temperatures may reduce panel output, while pollen, bird droppings, and debris can accumulate on panel surfaces and block solar absorption. In addition, shading from nearby buildings and trees, aging equipment, and inverter inefficiencies can further impact system performance. Regular solar panel cleaning, routine inspections, and system optimization are essential to maintain high efficiency and maximize long-term energy savings in San Jose.
