1. Clean the solar panels to help maintain maximum power generation.
Dust, particles and debris can collect on solar panels diminishing power production over time.
2. Periodic inspection of the solar panel system to ensure continued optimal operation.
Having seen effective maintenance and prevention techniques in motion, many costly issues have been avoided by doing a periodic inspection of any given system, whether it is a heating, cooling or electrical system. A good maintenance and inspection procedure may prevent headaches in the long run.
a. Ensure the area above and around the area of the solar panels remains free from obstructing sunlight.
b. Ensure that the panels themselves are not damaged in anyway.
c. Clear any debris from the mounting frames, including leaves, bird nests, branches and so-forth.
d. Look at all connections to be sure that there are no broken, brittle or dry rotting issues that will need replacing and make repairs as needed.
The current guaranteed life of a solar panel is currently 25 – 30 years, by performing periodic maintenance and inspection you will ensure that your power system will perform optimally during the life of the system.
