Your investment in solar panels reflects a commitment to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future. To protect this investment, it's crucial to handle solar panel maintenance with professionalism and care.
Cleaning solar panels requires special attention. Even the smallest scratch can impact their performance. To avoid damage, use purified water (osmosis) that is free from lime. Equally important is having the right safety equipment on hand. For the utmost safety and peace of mind, we recommend outsourcing the cleaning of your solar panels. Frequent cleaning isn't necessary; your solar panels require minimal maintenance overall.
The months from April to October typically yield the highest power output from your solar panels. To ensure optimal performance, it's wise to schedule a cleaning at the onset of spring. Keeping your solar panels clean guarantees you'll enjoy the best possible return on your investment, saving significantly on your energy bill.
Implementing a monitoring system can help you detect any unusual drops in energy yield, such as unexpected soiling from birds or other factors. In addition, as part of your maintenance routine, perform visual inspections of all cables and connectors annually, checking for defects (including optimizers, if you have them). If you notice a sudden decrease in performance, swift action in identifying and rectifying the issue is key.
