Owning solar panels is a big investment, and solar panel maintenance is necessary to maintain it, ensure it keeps working hard, safely and efficiently. Here are some tips for solar panel maintenance and Mono Solar Panels cleaning.

Tips for Maintenance of Solar Panel

1.Keep solar panels out of shade as energy production becomes inefficient when they are kept from absorbing any sunlight.

2.Keep an eye on the Ground Mounted Solar Panels and make sure the inverters are flashing green lights. If they are not flashing, you are losing money by no longer compensating for your electricity use.

3.Document the day-to-day performance to improve solar panel maintenance. It is important to write down how much energy has been produced at a consistent time every day and make special note of dates where it is very cloudy. Some of the results will be inconsistent. (Your manufacturer would be able to provide you with the best monitoring system for your solar panels.)

4.Monitoring systems help you see how much you are benefiting the environment and how much CO2, you are emitting into the atmosphere. They can also help you know how much you could benefit from the feed-in tariff scheme.

5.Luckily, because solar panels have no moving parts that could be affected by rust or break down, solar power maintenance may not be needed.

Tips for Solar Panel Cleaning

1. Remember, safety first. Some panels can be reached from the ground, but others require roof access. Don’t climb onto your roof unless you have the right safety equipment.

2. Refer to your product handbook for cleaning instructions. Depending on your panels, there might be specific cleaning recommendations.

3. Avoid cleaning your panels during the day as they can become extremely hot. Attend to your panels either in the morning or late afternoon, or pick a colder day.

4. First try using your garden hose to get the job done (this is usually all that’s required). If a lot of dust and dirt has accumulated you can try soapy water as well as a squeegee with a long extension.

5. Don’t use metal objects or harsh abrasive products for removing caked on grit. If you scratch or cloud the glass on your Poly Solar Panels, their performance can be negatively impacted.

6.Unless you live in a highly pollutant/dusty area, the need to wash your solar panels is quite low. Most modern panels feature an anti-cling film that is resistant to debris. Unless you can see visible grit on the panels, water from rain will do most of the work to keep your panels clean.
