When you start checking out the solar panels, you will see that most of the sellers harp one thing – that these panels are "maintenance free". With no moving parts, the overall wear and tear is less. As such almost all the manufacturers seem to highlight this part. It is true that a solar pane once installed lasts for nearly 20 to 25 years. In addition, you will find that the sellers offer workmanship warranties on the panels, thereby making these items a lucrative one. If you consider all these aspects, the solar panels do look maintenance free, but in reality is that so? Well, we all know that no matter what one says, there is hardly any product in the market that does not require maintenance. Some are easy to maintain, some are difficult. Some goes kaput quite early while others last for several seasons. Thus, we thought of discussing top three areas that are related to maintenance issues and you are bound to face problems with them once installed.

  • To start with, you should pay attention to the solar panel cleaning. With the passage of time, dirt, dust, pollen and other debris starts to accumulate on the panel there by preventing the sunrays to enter the PV system. Since the sunrays are not fully absorbed by the panels, the energy generated by the panels will reduce over time. This will affect your monthly solar savings. Thus it is a good idea to clean the panel by spraying water using a hosepipe. But don’t forget that when you are using untreated water, there is a high chance that the grime and residue will be left behind. Moreover, you will experience streaking issues – which is quite similar to what you experience when you wash windows. And yes, you can clean the panels only on days when the weather is not too hot. And to make sure that you can carry out the cleaning process properly, you have to be on the roof or use a ladder, which will make your job easier.
  • Make sure that you take note of the internal malfunctions like glitchy panels, faulty wiring system and poor quality inverters that lowers the performance of the panels. To ensure that all these aspects are taken care off you need to hire professionals who offer LA Local Solar Panel Cleaning.

This type of damage generally does not fall under warranty. And there is no alternative but to depend on Solar Panel Cleaners in Southern California to get the panel fixed.
