How to Maintain Solar Panels?

Dust and bird droppings adhering to the surfaces of solar panels in the outdoor environment for a long time reduce the efficiency of the solar panel.

We should perform periodic maintenance on solar panels so that our energy production efficiency does not decrease.

• We should choose the time for maintenance well. Generally, low light or cloudy days should be preferred to avoid losses in energy production.
• To avoid accidents such as electric shock, we must check the panel for any damage by looking at the connecting wires and related components.
• When wiping the solar panel; hard, sharp, corrosive solvents and alkaline organic solvents should not be used. Soft tools such as sponges and cotton towels should be preferred to prevent scratches and corrosion of the solar panel.
• To avoid load resistance due to localized shadowing, attention should be paid to the cleanliness of edges and corners that affect power generation efficiency.
• Due to prolonged exposure to factors such as wind, sun or rain, it is important to regularly check screws for corrosion and rust.
