What maintenance does a solar system need?

Dust, pollen, and debris settle on panels over time and can reduce output. How often cleaning is needed depends on your location and local conditions; properties near construction sites or busier roads may need more frequent cleaning.

Wiring connections, mounting hardware, and inverter performance benefit from periodic checks to catch small issues, like a loose connection or a underperforming panel, before they become bigger problems.

Inverters are the component most likely to need servicing over the life of a system. Keeping the installation area ventilated and free of dust helps, and any unusual error codes or noises are worth having checked.

For homeowners who'd rather not track this themselves, an Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) covers scheduled visits for inspection and cleaning.
