Commercial · Alpine, CA

Commercial in Alpine, CA.

Commercial for Alpine homes, done by licensed San Diego County technicians. Commercial arrays soil faster and lose more revenue per percent of production drop than residential. We service warehouses, distribution centers, schools, churches, ag facilities, and multi-acre ground mounts.

Alpine: East County summers bring desert dust from the I-8 corridor and Anza-Borrego pull-throughs. Alpine arrays pick up heavy soiling fast — production drops of 20-25% are not unusual without quarterly cleaning. Hard-water spotting from sprinkler overspray is also common here.
