Do solar panels need to be maintained?
Solar panels generally require very little maintenance in order to function, so yes, you can usually just let them be. The only thing most solar panels need is a periodic light cleaning to make sure dirt, leaves, and other debris aren’t obstructing the sun’s rays. You may also want to check underneath the panels for debris or signs of animals, and potentially spring for solar critter guards if this becomes an issue.
If your panels’ energy output starts to decrease, you can monitor it via an app. Lower energy output could be a sign that your panels are obstructed by something, like debris, and cannot generate their typical electricity amount.
If your panels are tilted, you’re in luck: rainfall will actually clear away debris that’s accumulated on them. However, during the dry season or extended periods without rain, it’s important to clean them manually. Solar panels are designed to be durable. Top-quality solar panel installations allow PV systems to withstand all kinds of weather, from wind and rain to snow and more
