Do solar panels require maintenance?

Solar Panels require little maintenance most of the time to operate properly.

How do you monitor your solar panels?

Check your solar panels daily and make sure the inverters are flashing green lights. Doing this keeps track of your energy consumption. If the green lights are not flashing, it means you are losing money because your utility grid is being used instead of solar energy.
Keep a daily record of your system’s performance via an app. This helps improve solar power output by being aware of how much energy has been produced at a consistent time every day. Although, most modern inverters have their monitoring software that automatically records this for you. It’s best to always check with your manufacturer.
If your panel’s energy output starts to diminish, it may be a sign that your panel needs to be checked because it may be obstructed by debris, grime, etc which prevents the generation of your typical electricity amount.

How do you maintain your solar system?

Keep solar panels out of shade as they can become inefficient because they are hindered from absorbing sunlight which is the main source of energy production.
Always check the cleanliness of the panels for any accumulation of dust and debris under and around the PV array.
Implementing a general performance check of the system by evaluating the daily performance data to detect any major changes in energy output.
Have your solar panel checked by professionals yearly for any scratches, corrosion, fractures, and moisture that may have penetrated the panels.
Cabling should be checked if organized to ensure its security and the voltage of strings is within the specified and required area.
Ensure that the mounting hardware is in good condition.
Check the junction boxes and make sure there is no water accumulation and that the integrity of lid seals, clamping devices, and connections is intact.
Verify that the isolation devices are working correctly and the breakers do not have any damage.
Check the fuse box for water damage and resistive joints on connections for safety purposes.
Properly inspect inverters to ensure there’s no damage, checking on resistive joints on connections to verify the DC voltage is coming through the inverter.
You can install automated cleaners that work like sprinkler systems to maintain your solar panels.
