• Cleaning: Over time, panels accumulate dirt, leaves, bird droppings, and other debris, which can reduce their efficiency. Regular cleaning helps to maintain the solar panels' energy production.
• Inspection: This includes checking for any visual defects, cracks, discoloration, or malfunctioning components, as well as monitoring the system's overall performance to ensure it aligns with its expected output.
• Performance Monitoring: Using software tools and monitoring systems to keep an eye on how much energy the panels produce, and if there are any unexpected drops in performance.
• Inverter Checking: The inverter is a vital component that turns the DC power from panels into AC power for home use. Periodic checks ensure its optimum performance.
• Tightening Hardware: Over time, the fixtures holding panels can become loose due to weather conditions. Regular tightening ensures safety and stability.
• Snow Removal: Regular snow removal is essential to keep solar panels functioning at their best. Proper removal techniques ensure that the panels are cleared without causing damage. Specialized tools, often soft and non-abrasive, are used to prevent scratching or harming the panels.
• Wiring Inspection: Checking the wiring for wear, tear, or rodent damage, and ensuring that all connections are secure.
• Update Software/Firmware: Modern solar systems may have software/firmware that needs updating from time to time to maintain performance or add new features.
• Seasonal Adjustments: The sun's angle changes with the seasons. Adjusting the tilt of adjustable solar panels during different times of the year can help in capturing more sunlight.
• Battery Maintenance (for systems with storage): Checking the health of batteries, ensuring they charge and discharge correctly, and replacing them when their performance starts to degrade.
