Tips For Year-Round Solar System Maintenance
The Importance of Regular Solar System Maintenance
Just like any other equipment, your solar system needs regular maintenance to ensure it is running efficiently. Regular solar system maintenance can help identify and address any issues before they become major problems. It can also help extend the lifespan of your system and save you money in the long run.
Spring Cleaning for Your Solar Energy System
After the winter months, your panels may have accumulated dirt and debris from Northern California’s winter rains. Use a gentle cleaning solution and a soft cloth to wipe down your panels. Also make sure to trim any nearby trees or shrubs that may be casting shade on your panels.
Summer Maintenance for Optimal Production
Summer is the peak season for solar energy production, so it's important to make sure your system is in top shape. Check for any signs of wear and tear on your panels, mounting system, and wiring. Make sure all connections are secure and there are no loose or damaged parts.
Fall and Winter Preparations for Enhanced Protection
As the colder months approach, it's important to prepare your solar system for the harsh weather. Make sure to clear any debris off your panels, as it can block sunlight and decrease efficiency. It's also a good idea to have a professional inspection before winter to identify any potential issues and make necessary repairs.
