"Typical Solar Panel Maintenance"

Common Solar Panel Types:

• ▸ Monocrystalline: Made from a single crystal, these panels are highly efficient and are a popular choice for their sleek, uniform appearance.
• ▸ Polycrystalline: Made from multiple silicon crystals, these are slightly less efficient than monocrystalline but are more cost-effective.

Maintenance from Manufacturers:

• ▸ Regular Cleaning: Most manufacturers recommend regular cleaning to remove dust, dirt, bird droppings, and other debris that can reduce power output.
• ▸ Washing Method: Manufacturers advise against using high-pressure washers, abrasive sponges, or harsh chemicals. It's recommended to use a soft brush or squeegee with a bucket of plain water.
• ▸ Seasonal Maintenance: Each season introduces new risks that require maintenance adjustments:
  • Summer: Look out for dust, ash, and heat. Clean panels and check their power output.
  • Autumn: Clear leaf buildup and inspect gutters.
  • Winter: Inspect for storm damage and water pooling.
  • Spring: Clean surfaces of bird droppings and pollen. Prune any nearby trees.
• ▸ Inspection: It's important to periodically inspect panels for any physical damage, such as cracks, chips, or loose wiring. Any damage should be addressed by a qualified professional to avoid safety risks and maintain the warranty.
• ▸ Warranty: Many warranties are contingent upon regular maintenance and cleaning, so it is crucial to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure your warranty remains valid.
