What dirties solar panels in Hudson
Direct Gulf salt spray
Hudson Beach faces open Gulf water with little buffer, and homes within a few blocks of the shoreline see some of the heaviest salt film in Pasco County.
Irrigation mineral spray
Beacon Woods' golf-course-adjacent sprinkler systems throw hard-water mineral spray onto nearby roofs, leaving spotting that is different from salt haze but just as persistent.
Golf course turf dust
Homes backing the fairways pick up fine turf and fertilizer dust after mowing days, which settles into a light film distinct from road grit.
Rural road dust on Fivay corridor
The less-developed stretch along Fivay Road still has unpaved shoulders and agricultural traffic that kick up dust onto nearby rooftops.
