Do Solar Panels Need a Lot of Maintenance?

Investing in solar panels is a big step. While the promise of having control over your utility bills is tantalizing, the last thing you want is a massive maintenance job on your hands. So what’s the hard-hitting truth? Will solar panels require a lot of maintenance once you get a system installed?

Generally speaking, you can expect very minimal maintenance requirements for a home solar panel system. With the average lifespan of a system ranging between 25 and 30 years, panels are designed to be very durable and resilient against the elements.

To enhance the performance of your solar panels, you can expect to simply wash and clean off any dirt / dust several times a year. By taking small steps, you can ensure that your panels are able to capitalize on the power of the sun as much as possible to power your energy needs.

Tips for Keeping Your Panels Clean

  • Clear any large debris, such as leaves or branches, as soon as possible to avoid damage
  • Remove dust and dirt from panel faces with a garden hose
  • Aim to clean panels in early morning or late afternoon, when panels are least hot – spraying cool water onto the panels when at high temperatures could result in damage
  • Consider installing a cleaning system to ensure regular cleaning (similar to yard sprinklers)
  • Schedule a solar panel cleaning with your solar panel provider or a local expert if areas are too high / dangerous to reach
