Whitewater sits in Walworth County, Wisconsin, about 50 miles from our Madison base. Walworth County lakefront homes face a unique mineral-spray soiling profile — and Whitewater installs share that profile. Whether it's a residential rooftop or a small commercial array, panels here see the kind of buildup that rain alone simply can't remove.
Every city has its own soiling profile. Here's what your panels in Whitewater face that generic “just let the rain handle it” advice can't solve:
Walworth County lake-effect humidity (Lake Geneva, Delavan, Como)
Heavy seasonal-tourist traffic increasing atmospheric particulate
Mineral-rich lakeshore spray on lakefront installs
Agricultural drift from surrounding farmland

We Energies charges 17.20¢/kWh to residential customers in Whitewater. A typical 20-panel system produces about 8,600 kWh/year — a conservative 8% soiling loss means you're paying $118 per year for electricity your own panels should have made.
