Description
A solar system has few moving parts, but that doesn't mean it needs no care. Dust, salt air, leaves and bird droppings on the panels cut production; sun and rain take a toll on connectors and wiring; and the batteries and inverter need someone to check their settings every so often.
During maintenance we clean the panels with water and products that won't damage the glass, inspect the racking, the anchors and the roof sealing, check connectors, combiner boxes and wiring, and measure that each string of panels is producing as expected. On the inverter we review alarms, history and settings; on the batteries, the state of charge and the temperature where they're installed.
After hurricane season or a strong storm, we recommend an inspection of the racking and anchors. We service systems installed by us or by other companies, and you get a report of what we found and what should be corrected.

Frequently asked questions
How often should the panels be cleaned?
It depends on the dust, salt air and rainfall in your area. If the app shows production has dropped for no clear reason, it's a good time for a cleaning.
Can I clean the panels myself?
Getting on the roof is risky, and some products or brushes damage the glass. We recommend having a technician do it with the proper safety equipment.
