Why is solar panel maintenance so important?

Whether they are on the roof of your home, a commercial building or on the ground solar panels face daily weather, dust, bird droppings and sometimes even minor damage. Without regular maintenance, this can lead to yield losses and even permanent damage. Consider, for example, 'hotspots', places where dirt accumulates and can cause local overheating.

In addition, maintenance checks help you detect any defects early. This prevents small problems from turning into costly repairs. By scheduling solar panel maintenance periodically, the quality of your system remains high and you can count on stable energy yields.

How often is maintenance required?

The ideal frequency depends on several factors, such as location and environmental influences. In densely built-up urban areas or along busy roads, fine dust can contaminate the panels faster. If you live in a rural area, pollen and fertilisers may play a role. In general, you can think of a maintenance check once a year or once every two years. In exceptional circumstances such as a severe storm or prolonged heatwave, it is wise to consider an extra check.

How do we proceed at Solarco?

Thorough inspection

During solar panel maintenance, we take a close look at the entire installation. We check the panels themselves for cracks, discolouration or other signs of wear and tear. We also look at the cabling, the fasteners and the inverter, to make sure everything is still functioning optimally.

Professional cleaning

An important part of maintenance is cleaning the panels. For this, we use osmosis water and robotic cleaners, so no chemicals are needed. This method removes dirt and deposits while keeping your panels scratch-free. A clean panel surface immediately improves light transmission and energy production.

Reporting and advice

After the inspection and cleaning, you will receive a clear report with our findings. We will also advise you on any follow-up steps, such as replacement of parts or additional checks. So you know exactly what the status of your installation is and how to keep it in top condition.
