Why is solar panel maintenance so important?

Solar panels are exposed day in, day out to a variety of weather conditions and environmental factors. Think dust, bird droppings, leaves, but also intense sunlight, wind or hail. If you never have your panels checked or maintained, small damages or accumulated dirt can go unnoticed. This not only leads to yield loss, but can also cause permanent damage over time.

By performing periodic solar panel maintenance, you prevent small problems from growing into major repairs. This will not only extend the life of your installation, but also get more power from every ray of sunshine. The result? Lower energy bills and a responsible, green energy supply that you can enjoy for years to come.

How often is maintenance required?

The frequency of solar panel maintenance depends on your specific situation. Do you live in an area with a lot of dust or pollen? Or perhaps close to the coast where salt and sand accumulate? In that case, it may be wise to have your panels checked at least once a year. In less polluted environments, one thorough check once every two years will suffice.

Moreover, it is smart to have an extra check on the panels after extreme weather conditions such as severe storms or prolonged heat waves. This way, you avoid nasty surprises and are assured of constant and safe energy production.

Thorough inspection

With every solar panel maintenance, our team starts with a visual check of the installation. We pay attention to visible damage, loose wiring, broken terminals and signs of overheating (hotspots). This way, we detect defects early before they escalate.

Testing and measuring

After the inspection and any cleaning, we perform measurements to make sure your system is functioning optimally. In doing so, we check the inverter, the cabling and the yield data. We address any anomalies immediately or report them with clear advice.

Advice and follow-up

Transparency is paramount at Solarco. After every maintenance visit, we provide you with a clear report containing all findings, plus recommendations for any follow-up steps. So you know exactly what the status of your installation is and what you can consider in the future.
