MAINTENANCE OF SYSTEMS

Regular maintenance and cleaning are essential to ensure that your solar array operates at peak performance and continues to generate clean, renewable energy for years to come. Here are some of the maintenance and cleaning requirements of a solar array.

Regular inspection

It is important to inspect your solar array regularly to check for any damage or issues that may affect its performance. Look for cracks, chips, or other signs of damage on the solar panels, and check for loose or broken connections between panels and wiring.

Keep the panels clean

Dirt, dust, and other debris can accumulate on the surface of the solar panels, reducing their efficiency and output. To keep your panels clean, use a soft brush or sponge and warm soapy water to gently clean the surface of the panels. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that can damage the surface of the panels.

Trim surrounding trees

Trees or other vegetation can cast shadows on the solar panels, reducing their output. To avoid this, regularly trim any trees or other vegetation that may be blocking the sun from reaching your solar array.

Check the inverter

The inverter is an important component of your solar system that converts the DC energy generated by the panels into AC energy that can be used in your home or business. Check the inverter regularly to ensure that it is functioning properly and generating the expected output.

Schedule professional maintenance

It is a good idea to schedule regular professional maintenance and cleaning for your solar array. A professional technician can inspect your system, identify any issues, and provide the necessary repairs or maintenance to ensure that your solar system is operating at peak performance.

By following these maintenance and cleaning requirements, you can ensure that your solar array operates efficiently and effectively, providing clean, renewable energy for your home or business.
