You have made the best decision by embarking on the renewable energy journey through solar system. Your solar panels, inverters, batteries, wires, etc, are all setup and running but to maximise your investment, reap the expected benefits and keep your equipment in top shape, regular maintenance is required.

The beauty about solar maintenance is that it demands little effort but yields high rewards. Here are some tips that ensure your home, business or office are kept running every day with clean energy.

1. Keep your solar panels clean

Solar panels are prone to dust, dirt and debris, hence, they need to be cleaned regularly. With most solar panels installed on a roof, adopting the use of water sprinklers is a way to automate the cleaning process. Having well-cleaned solar panels improves their ability to receive and absorb light, therefore increasing their efficiency.

2. Check for obstructions and shading

Solar panels need a clear path to receive sunlight. It’s always advisable to ensure that they are positioned at an angle void of any obstructions such as shadows, trees or buildings. These obstructions affect the light transmitted to the panels and impede the absorption rate.

3. Monitor your inverter and battery health and performance

Inverters and batteries play important roles in your solar system. Ensuring that they both perform optimally and are in pristine health condition. Inspect them thoroughly to ensure that there are no leakages, burnt wires, damages or faulty connections. Also, endeavour to monitor the load capacity to avoid draining the batteries frequently which affects their lifespan.

4. Perform regular professional inspection

Engage the services of professionals to inspect your entire solar system and esnure that its operating safely, optimally and efficiently.

Solar energy keeps your light on but requires little care. By applying these tips, you will keep your system running optimally, save money and stay off the grid.
