A few minutes of seasonal care keeps your solar system performing at its best. Follow this simple checklist.
Solar systems are famously low-maintenance, but a little attention each season keeps them generating peak power for decades.
Keep an eye on output
Check your monitoring app monthly. A sudden drop in generation is the earliest sign something needs attention.
Keep panels clean
Dust, pollen and bird droppings reduce output. In most areas rain does the job, but a gentle rinse before summer helps.
- Inspect for shading from growing trees
- Look for loose mounting or damaged cabling
- Book a professional inspection every few years
