How does Alpine's climate affect this service?

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..

What's an actual emergency?
Smoke, burning smell, sparks, or any sign of fire risk — call immediately and shut off the AC disconnect if you can do so safely. Zero production for 24+ hours is also urgent because most issues compound. A panel with a broken backsheet in the rain is also urgent.
