Swell Solar panel maintenance involves regular cleaning to remove debris and periodic inspections to ensure components are secure and functioning, with professional services recommended for thorough checks and repairs.
CLEANING:
Why: Dirt, dust, pollen, bird droppings, and other debris can reduce the efficiency of solar panels by blocking sunlight.
How: Rainwater often cleans panels adequately, but you may need to clean them manually, especially if debris accumulates.
Frequency: The frequency of cleaning depends on the location and environmental conditions, but general recommendations suggest cleaning at least twice a year.
Method: Use a soft brush or sponge with mild soapy water to gently remove grime. Avoid high-pressure water or abrasive cleaning products.
INSPECTIONS:
Why: Regular inspections help identify potential issues early, such as loose connections, corrosion, or damage to wiring or mounting systems.
What we check: Panels: We ensure panels are clean, secure, and free of defects.
Connections: We check wiring and connections for security and signs of corrosion or wear.
Mounting systems: We inspect the condition of the mounting structure.
