GUIDELINES IN MAINTAINING SOLAR PANELS

Solar panel maintenance

First of all what is a solar panel? A solar panel is a device which has the ability to convert sunlight into electricity by using photovoltaic (PV).

You can also say that a solar panel is a device when exposed to the sun has the ability to absorb the sun’s ray and convert it into electricity or heat.

Since the solar panel is an electrical device maintenance is required in order to ensure maximum efficiency,

durability, and increase your overall energy cost savings.

Here we are going to be showing you the ways in which, you can maintain your solar panels both at homes, business centers and industries.

WHY SOLAR PANELS DO NEED MAINTENANCE!

Solar panel maintenance Just like running a car you can ensure you get the most out of your solar system

through ongoing maintenance.

While your solar systems are built to be effective, your panels live outside and are exposed constantly to all weather conditions.

Constant exposure to these conditions can cause damage to the parts.  

WAYS IN WHICH YOU CAN MAINTAIN YOUR SOLAR PANELS!

1. By cleaning: it is important that you clean your solar panel at least twice a year due to the accumulation of dust and dirt on the surface. In practice dust must be removed from the surface of solar PV panels in order to ensure an effective performance. Do you know that! “solar energy power association notes that dirty solar panels can lose 20% of energy output”.

The best way in cleaning your solar panel is by using a mild soap and warm water; mix a solution of water and mild soap to cleanse the panel and avoid chemical damage use a gentle scrubber to wash the panels do not use any hard materials to avoid damage, then perform a gentle rinse. Remove excess water with a squeegee then the sun will finish the job.

• By regular servicing: servicing of solar systems has proven to be an effective way to maintain and improve the efficiency of solar panels. To achieve this hire an electrician to conduct an electrical inspection to confirm that all the strings of your solar array are operating effectively. Interior inspection of all devices, boxes, inverters, switches, etc. battery maintenance and/or detailed inspection, if applicable. Infrared inspections of electrical connections looking for loose connections and hotspots. There are two ways in which you can maintain your solar system;

Scheduled maintenance: this is planned and aims to prevent failures, extend the life of the systems and maximize the generation.

Unscheduled maintenance: this is performed after failure and damage occurs.

• By installing solar monitoring system: a solar monitoring system allow you to keep track of the output of your solar panels. Monitoring helps to know if the equipment is running properly, allowing solar technicians to identify and trouble shoot issues.

The solar monitoring system helps you to monitor parameters like voltage, temperature, light intensity and current which are important to the solar panel to make it more effective.
