Solar Panel Maintenance

Solar panels can be a good investment, providing you with renewable energy that is cost-effective for at least the next 25 years.

How do you maintain solar panels? Do solar panels need regular maintenance like a car? Should solar panels be left alone?

Maintenance of solar panels in a nutshell:

• Solar panels are very low maintenance, especially if they’re tilted, as rain can wash away any debris.
• Solar panels should be cleaned between 2 and 4 times a year. When cleaning, use extreme caution.
• Climbing around your roof is dangerous. Use a cleaning brush with soft bristles and a non-abrasive detergent. Clean the panels in the early morning, before the sun makes them too hot. Cold water and hot panels don’t mix.
• Solar panel cleaning and maintenance are not covered by panel warranties. However, if you have damaged solar panels, they are usually covered.
