Importance of Maintaining Your Solar Panels
When you purchased your solar panels, you probably wanted to lower your electric bill and become more energy independent, and solar panels are a great way to achieve those goals. However, solar panels, while low maintenance, are not no maintenance. You’ll still have to keep them clean in order to maximize their efficiency and longevity. You’ll also need maintenance records in order to keep your warranty valid.
Solar Maintenance FAQ
Here are some of the most common questions we receive about maintaining solar panels.
Solar panels can be damaged by hail and debris that is blown across the panels by high winds. They may also be damaged by falling branches.
Hot spots occur when part of the solar panel is in the shade. The cells that are shaded do not create electricity at the same rate as the other cells on the panel. To make matters worse, the current cannot flow around the weaker producing cells. This causes the current to collect in only a few of the cells on the panel, and as a result, they will overheat and melt. The overheated cells are known as hot spots.
Rain will wash away loose dirt, debris, and pollen, but if any of that has been left to settle on your panels, a simple rainstorm will not clean them. For this reason, you need to have your panels professionally cleaned in order to maintain their efficiency.
We recommend that you have your system inspected, cleaned, and maintained every 12 months.
