Solar panels are designed to withstand most of the elements and typical UK weather conditions. However, from time to time they may suffer damage, therefore requiring repairs. We’re going to share with you a few of the reasons you may call for solar panel repairs.
Damaged & Broken Solar Panels
Due to their positioning, solar panels are somewhat vulnerable to damage. Animal activity, storms and extreme weather conditions like hailstones can scratch or shatter the surface of your panels. A damaged solar panel won’t work in the most efficient way possible, so it’s important to seek solar panel repairs quickly to ensure you don’t lose out on your green energy. Even minor damages can reduce the effectiveness of a solar panel, so don’t underestimate even the smallest of scratches.
Damaged & Broken Solar Panels
Over time, your solar panels will build up with dirt and organic matter. Moss, mould, dust, bird droppings, leaves and more can cling to the surface of your panels. Anything that covers the surface of your solar panels will prevent the absorption of sun energy, therefore reducing the amount of clean electricity you generate. It’s important to ensure your solar panels are cleaned regularly.
With that being said, it’s also important to make sure that your solar panels are cleaned properly. Using abrasive cleaning agents or cloths could damage the surface, causing micro scratches that require expensive repairs.
Electrical Issues
Your solar panels are designed to produce clean energy and feed it into your home. However, electrical issues can occur which prevent this from happening properly. If you notice a significant reduction in the amount of electricity your panels are producing, you may need to seek solar panel repairs. Be sure to employ an electrician with knowledge of solar panels if this is the case, as their complex systems require specialist knowledge to fault find and fix.
