More sunshine, warmer weather, and an opportunity to refresh your home. Those are three great things about spring! And when you make your to-do list for spring, make sure to add solar panel maintenance. This ensures that your solar energy system operates at peak efficiency and maximizes your energy production. And best of all—all that’s required of you is a phone call or email to OC Solar.
Here are five ways OC Solar helps you keep your solar panels in top condition this spring:
- Cleaning your panels: Solar panels can accumulate debris, pollen, and dust. This might reduce their efficiency. Spring is pollen season—which means it’s important that your panels get a good cleaning. Our experienced professionals can make sure your system is shined up and ready to capture all that California sun!
- Trim Trees: Spring showers and sunlight mean more tree and plant growth. Overhanging branches or tall vegetation may block sunlight. We can show you areas on your property that might cause shading on your roof and affect your system’s performance. Trimming overgrowth helps you capture maximum sunlight and boost energy production.
- Check for Damage: We can conduct a comprehensive assessment of your entire solar energy system. This includes a thorough visual inspection of your panels and mountings for signs of damage or wear. Cracks, loose connections, or other issues that might affect performance can be repaired. This offers peace of mind that your system is operating at its peak.
- Monitor Energy Production: We can analyze your energy production and use. This includes comparing your usage and production from last year. Regular monitoring helps you make sure your solar panels generate clean, renewable energy efficiently.
- Consider energy storage: Spring is also storm season. Our Tesla Powerwall 3 is ideal for storing energy to use during storms, at night, and during power outages. Let’s discuss how you can take your energy independence to the next level.
With these tips, you can rest easy. Proper maintenance improves the performance of your solar energy system and keeps your investment in renewable energy safe all year long.
