Modern solar set-ups are often accompanied with some sort of smart tracking technology such as an app so that you can see how much energy your system is producing. In the event of any issues with your solar PV system, you’ll very quickly be aware of any issues.

On older solar PV systems, when you want to see that instant feedback, you’ll have to keep an eye on your generation meter which is usually to be found by your fuse board. Additionally, the company that installed your solar system should have provided you with an MCS certificate showing you an estimated annual generation figure for your solar panel system. If your yearly figures are falling far short of that figure because your panels aren’t generating as much energy as they used to, this might indicate an issue in your system and that repair services may be required.

Contact ESE Group if you think your solar panels need maintenance or repair.

While you might think that a lack of moving parts in your solar panel system means that maintenance is not required, for a system to operate at its maximum, and therefore bring you the savings you are expecting year-on-year, regular maintenance is recommended – although it’s true that solar panels offer a low maintenance renewable energy solution, some maintenance is still required.

Keeping your solar system in tip-top condition ensures that it is working effectively, without any downtime, so that you save money without interruption. Regular maintenance, perhaps at least an annual service, will identify any issues with your system, ensuring you are not missing out on savings, and before any issue becomes more costly to repair.

Most solar panels these days are coated with a hydrophobic coating, which effectively makes them self-cleaning. Any rainfall will fail to stick to the surface of the solar panels and will run off, taking with it any dirt and debris.

There may be occasions where it may be necessary to clean your solar panels, such as if you live in a dusty or sandy area, or if your panels are overly affected by bird droppings. Our advice is to employ the services of a specialist solar panel cleaning company to return your solar panels to their high-performing state.
