Cleaning and maintenance are important to ensure that your solar panels function at peak efficiency, remain free from malfunctions, and continue to serve for decades. While heavy rain, snow, dirt, and pollutants can degrade the solar panel system, you can reverse the detrimental impact by scheduling regular upkeep and repairs. Also, do not forget to find an experienced contractor for commercial solar installation in Anaheim.
Cleaning of Solar Panels
From manual to fully automated technologies, solar panels can be cleaned efficiently in no time. Follow the given details of solar panel cleaning for maximum efficiency.
- Remove Dirt, Dust, And Debris
You can clean the surface of the panels with clean water, a mild detergent, a soft brush, and a sponge without using harsh chemicals to damage your panels. Wipe out the water dry safely.
- Robotic Cleaning
Portable fully- and semi-automatic robots especially designed for efficient solar panel cleaning have become popular due to their precision in movements. It allows you to reach shed roofs and other carports without damaging the panels with high pressure.
- Hire Professionals

Solar Panel Repair
Like every other electrical appliance, solar panels are also prone to damage. However, it is easy to recognize the faults as the energy output decreases significantly. Prior knowledge of these situations can help you track the faults before a serious malfunction occurs and perform timely repairs. Common repair issues are given below.
- Micro-Cracks
Mishandling can produce cracks and microscopic rifts on the surface of the solar panel cells. These cracks will grow in size and eventually reduce the efficiency of the solar cells. Many times, installation mistakes can also lead to underperformance. However, call an expert for the repair work and clean the panels beforehand.
- Voltage Fluctuations
Frequent voltage fluctuations due to voltage differences between the panel and earthing can lead to potential induced degradation. It can lead to faster aging of solar panels and overwork caused by different voltages in the main power circuit. So, if you see a solar panel issue associated with voltage, call an expert, do not try DIY tricks.
- Faulty Wiring
Solid wiring is unparalleled in any electrical device. Similarly, even the tiniest wiring faults in solar panels can lead to failed circuits. A complete wiring loop is essential in connecting individual PV cells to your solar batteries and home inverters; any chance of breakage in this loop would result in power generation issues. Hiring experienced installers who could perform wiring assessments is the best choice.
- Module Damage
Cheap and poor quality components can lead to overtime internal damages, such as delamination, discoloration, cell staining, film browning, and burning out of the panels. External damages due to animal attacks, fire, snow, lightning, and other weather conditions can lead to solar panel damage. Contacting a technician can resolve the issues before it becomes unmanageable.
