Cleaning & Maintenance
Cleaning of Solar Panels
As time passes, the surface of Solar Panels will collect all types of debris, including dust, bird droppings, pollen, soot, and dirt. This layer creates a barrier to solar energy which decreases how much sunlight reaches within the Photovoltaic Cells.
What We Do When Cleaning Panels Is:
● Clean the panels using a gentle and safe wash with de-ionized water
● Use a soft-bristled brush or low-abrasion tool
● Remove any hard deposits or foreign objects, while preserving the integrity of the solar panels surfaces
● Clean the area underneath the frames and around the edges
● All of this ensures your solar panels are operating as effectively as possible, close to their original efficiency levels.
Conducting a Site Survey and Assessment
Over time, mounting hardware can corrode or deteriorate, resulting in a loose connection or loose bolts. In addition, over time, mounting hardware can corrode, or deteriorate, resulting in loose connections and the potential for structural failure.
Our technicians provide:
● A complete inspection of mounting hardware
● Tightening of mounting hardware fasteners as necessary
● Visual checks of corrosion and the structural integrity of the structure
● Ensuring that the panels remain securely mounted.
● A stable mounting structure will maintain consistent performance of the solar system, and provide a safe environment.
Check Your Electrical Wiring and Connections
Loose electrical connections, excessive corrosion and poor insulation can all lead to decreased efficiency of the solar panel system, and a potential safety hazard.
Our technicians check:
● A set of DC and AC cable connections
● All terminal blocks and junction boxes
● The inverter connection.
● All earthing and grounding systems.
● By conducting these checks, the potential for electrical faults, loss of energy, and safety hazards, will be minimized.
Solar Inverter/Controller Services
The solar inverter is the “brains” of the solar system converting the DC energy generated by the solar panels into usable AC power.
We provide:
● A visual and operational inspection of the inverter
● New firmware/Flash updates (if applicable)
● Error Reports for your inverter.
Performance Testing and Analysis of Energy Use
Performance checks are part of our maintenance service. A comparison of the current output and the expected production from the system.
Our inspection process includes:
● The identification of panels that were not performing as expected.
● Identifying if there is shading or other environmental impacts limiting the panel 0output.
● Identification of other issues such as needing repairs or component replacement.
● This information allows you to maximize the efficiency and life of your solar investment.
