What maintenance does a solar system need?

A realistic overview of the upkeep a rooftop solar system needs after installation.

Panel cleaning

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.

Periodic inspection

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.

Inverter attention

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.

AMC plans

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