A Simple Guide to Solar Panel Maintenance

Solar panel systems are remarkably durable and require very little maintenance. However, a few simple steps can ensure your system operates at peak efficiency for its entire 25+ year lifespan.

Regular Cleaning

Over time, dust, pollen, and debris can accumulate on your panels, slightly reducing their energy output. In most areas of India, especially during the dry season, this can be significant. An occasional rinse with a garden hose (from the ground, for safety!) can make a difference. For stubborn grime, professional cleaning is recommended, especially before and after the monsoon.

System Monitoring

Modern solar systems come with monitoring software that allows you to track your energy production. It's a good idea to check your system's output periodically. A sudden, significant drop in production could indicate an issue that needs attention.

Professional Inspections

While you can do a lot on your own, having a professional inspect your system every few years is a wise investment. Technicians can check for secure connections, identify any potential issues with wiring or inverters, and ensure everything is in safe, working order.
