Solar PV Maintenance

Maximise Your Solar Investment
Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are built to last, but regular maintenance ensures they continue to perform efficiently over time.

Cleaning & Inspection

  • Frequency: Inspect panels at least twice a year.

  • Cleaning: Remove dust, bird droppings, and debris using a soft brush or hose. Avoid using abrasive materials that could damage the surface.

  • Professional Support: For hard-to-access installations, consider engaging professional cleaning services.

Performance Monitoring

  • Inverter Checks: Regularly inspect inverters for any error messages or warning lights.

  • Energy Output: Monitor system performance regularly to identify any unexpected drops in energy production, which may signal a fault.

Professional Maintenance

  • Scheduled Inspections: Arrange for a qualified technician to inspect your system every 3–5 years.

  • Component Review: Ensure that wiring, mounting systems, and connectors are secure and free from corrosion.
