Residential Solar Maintenance
Solar system maintenance is crucial for maximizing energy production, extending the lifespan of the system, and ensuring safety. Regular maintenance can identify and address issues like shading, debris accumulation, and electrical faults that can significantly reduce efficiency.
Solar Panel Cleaning
Solar cleaning is advised at least once a year to clear out dirt or debris that covers solar panels. However, areas with high dust, pollen, or bird activity may require more frequent cleaning.
Critter Guard
Installing a critter guard protects solar panels from critters that can chew wires and damage the roof. This can also prevent critters from nesting under solar panels.
Monitoring Energy Production
Closely monitoring energy production helps to see if there is a problem with the output; it will allow early diagnosis if there's any.
Solar Inspections
Regular solar inspections are important to spot damaged wires, physical damage, and hot spots and to identify potential issues that may not be visible to the untrained eye.
Tree Trimming
Regularly trim trees and shrubs that may cast shadows on your solar panels.
