If you’ve chosen to invest in solar panels as your renewable energy source, you’ll want to ensure that you’re taking good care of them. Thankfully, they don’t require a lot of maintenance, so you won’t need to commit too much time to them. Read on to find out more about solar panel servicing and maintenance.
How Often Should You Get Solar Panel Servicing?
We recommend booking a service at least once per year. This ensures that any debris is carefully removed and potential issues are spotted early. They’ll also perform more efficiently, as obstructions and damage can impact the amount of energy they produce. During periods of extreme weather, we would recommend that you keep a close eye on your panels and book in for solar panel servicing once the poor weather has passed.
When Should You Get Solar Panel Servicing?
If you haven’t had your panels serviced or checked in a while, there’s no better time than now. Get your clean energy system tidied up and performing at its best. We usually recommend booking your solar panel servicing in the lead-up to summer, when the weather conditions are good. This means that you’ll get the best performance from your panels in the season where the most clean energy is available.
How Often Should You Clean Your Panels?
Most solar panels need a gentle wash two to four times a year. You may need to wash them more often if there’s a lot of trees around or animal activity near the panels. Sometimes you can use a leaf blower to blast away debris, and other times a spray down with a garden hose will help. For a more intensive clean, you may need to get up onto the panels to wash them manually.
Whichever process you choose, be sure to use equipment that won’t damage the panels. If you’re washing them manually, only use a soft cloth and gentle cleaning products. Using the wrong things can result in damage and scratches, which will reduce the effectiveness of your panels.
