Solar panel cleaning in Oregon typically costs $150–$320 per visit, and every metro we track carries the same recommended cadence of 1–2× / year. That relatively light schedule is Oregon's wet season doing free work: for much of the year, steady rain rinses grime off panels before it can harden. The window that matters runs May–Sep in Eugene and Salem and Jun–Sep in the rest of our listed metros, when pollen from the Willamette Valley's grass-seed fields, dust kicked up by farm equipment, and increasingly common late-summer wildfire ash settle onto the glass with no rain to wash them away.

The metros differ more than the shared cadence suggests. Bend is the state's fastest-soiling market at rank 22 on our national grime index — high-desert dust and scant rainfall east of the Cascades leave panels dirtier than anywhere in the valley. Eugene (rank 28) and Salem (rank 30) follow, their May–Sep dust seasons opening a month earlier than the Portland area's thanks to grass-seed pollen and agricultural traffic. Hillsboro (rank 33) and Gresham (rank 36) soil slowest, but Portland-area labor shows up in the bill: Gresham runs $200–$320 and Hillsboro $175–$300, against $150–$300 in the other three metros.

Dust season: Jul–Sep (dry-season accumulation); spring pollen Apr–Jun (alder, Douglas fir) is the more visible nuisance, plus year-round moss/algae/lichen at panel edges from persistent damp; Apr–Jun (Douglas-fir/cedar pollen dominates), with a secondary Jul–Sep dry-season dust and wildfire-ash window; Jun–Sep; May–Sep; Jun–Sep (dry-season dust off the Gorge plus wildfire smoke/ash in Aug–Sep); a secondary Apr–May orchard and conifer pollen wave is often the more visible film on panels; Jul–Sep (dry-season road/ag dust plus wildfire ash); secondary Apr–May conifer/oak/grass pollen film; Apr–Jun (conifer/Douglas fir pollen dominates, yellow-green film), with a secondary Jul–Sep dry spell of dust and wildfire smoke ash; winter rains largely self-clean the array; Apr–May pollen-dominated (Douglas-fir/conifer and grass pollen), with a secondary Jul–Sep dry-season dust and wildfire-ash peak; Nov–Mar rains largely self-clean panels; Jun–Sep (dry-season dust plus late-summer wildfire ash); Douglas fir/conifer pollen dominates Apr–May; May–Sep — spring conifer and Willamette Valley grass-seed pollen (May–Jun) is the dominant soiling driver, followed by the rain-free Jul–Sep dry season with road dust and periodic wildfire ash; winter rain largely self-cleans, though damp shade promotes moss/algae at low tilt angles; Jul–Sep (summer dry spell dust + wildfire smoke/ash); heavy Douglas-fir/cedar pollen Apr–Jun often dominates the visible yellow film, plus moss/algae streaking on low-tilt arrays in the wet season
