Why’s it Important to have Professional Solar System Maintenance?
Regular maintenance of solar panels is vital for their efficiency and safety. As solar maintenance specialists, we stress the importance of professional servicing. This prevents performance decline and ensures system longevity. Our team offers detailed maintenance services, including inspections and cleaning, to enhance energy output and avoid expensive repairs.
The Impact of Regular Maintenance on System Efficiency
Professional maintenance boosts a solar panel system’s efficiency by 15-25%. Routine checks can spot problems early, averting repair costs that can reach £1,000 to £3,000. Investing in servicing ensures your system’s efficiency and safety, cutting failure risks by up to 50%.
Long-term Benefits of Professional Servicing
A well-maintained solar PV system can last 25-30 years, outlasting the 20-year average without upkeep. Professional care also minimises failure risks and electrical safety hazards. Choosing our maintenance services guarantees long-term benefits like increased energy production and lower upkeep costs.
Key Components Requiring Regular Attention
Components like solar panels, inverters, wiring and mounting systems all benefit from regular checks. Cleaning and inspections prevent major issues, ensuring the system’s peak performance. Professional maintenance ensures your system’s efficiency, safety, and longevity, while also reducing environmental impact.
Common Solar Panel Issues and Their Solutions
Many homeowners worry about solar panel issues. Our team of experts is here to help, ensuring your system works well and safely. Regular checks and maintenance can save you up to £500 a year.
Performance problems can arise from various sources. For example, power loss due to PID (Potential Induced Degradation) can reach 50%. Dirt, seasonal shading or wiring issues can also contribute to loss of performance.
Routine maintenance can help you avoid these issues. This includes cleaning and inspections to keep your panels in top shape.
Depending on your system, we typically suggest a visit to check your panels every year, particularly if you’re unable to do any preventative maintenance and inspections yourself. This can add 10-15 years to their life and boost energy output by 20%.
However, if you are able, cleaning your panels every six months to remove dirt and visually inspecting them for damage or wear is a good way to head off problems before they begin. More on this below.
Preventative Maintenance Strategies for Solar Systems
You can contribute to optimising the lifespan and efficiency of your solar PV system yourself quite easily.
Firstly, keeping an eye on performance metrics like energy production, voltage, and current output is very helpful and sudden or unusual variances in these may indicate an issue.
We employ SolarEdge’s monitoring tools for real-time tracking, aiding in quick issue resolution.
Regular visual inspections are also helpful to detect early damage such as cracks, chips, and discolouration on panels, alongside corrosion on mounting hardware.
Some essential preventative maintenance strategies for solar systems include:
- Biannual cleaning of solar panels to remove dirt, bird droppings, pollen and snail trails
- Trimming vegetation that casts shadows on panels annually to prevent shading issues
- Conducting inspections after severe weather events to check for physical damage or performance drops
- Regular monitoring of energy production using tools like the mySolarEdge app to identify irregularities
Investing in professional maintenance and servicing for solar systems is wise. It ensures compliance with warranties and boosts system reliability. Our team is dedicated to providing preventative maintenance strategies. We aim to ensure the efficiency and safety of solar systems, recommending regular maintenance to preserve their lifespan and ensure efficient operation.
