How to Maintain a Solar Panel

Whether a solar panel system is designed to generate heat for our homes or produce electricity, a properly functioning solar panel is an obvious requirement. Luckily, a well-designed and installed solar panel system is durable and simple in concept. In fact, the only part of a solar heating system that has any moving parts requiring maintenance is the pump. Plus, while earlier versions of solar panels were relatively fragile, solar panels are now constructed from strong unbreakable materials, so a solar panel itself requires minimal maintenance to continue doing its job. Essentially the only breakable part of a solar panel is the glass covering. Maintaining a solar panel is very straightforward; here's all that's necessary.

Things you will need:

1.Ladder to get to the solar panel

2.Warm water and dishwashing soap

3.Clean soft cloths

 

Maintaining your solar panel:

 

Step1

Inspect the solar panels on a periodic basis (frequency depends on location or the manufacturer's specifications) to remove any debris and dirt and ensure all connections are tight.

 

Step2

Panels installed in dusty areas may require more frequent inspection.

 

Step3

Clean the surface of a solar panel with warm water and dishwashing soap to remove any accumulation of dirt and grime.

 

Step4

Remove any bird droppings as well since they can severely reduce the panel's energy-producing capacity.

 

Step5

Cleaning a solar panel is not cosmetic. A panel needs to be clean for it to operate at its rated capacity.
