Usually, when installing solar panels, the doubts are always the same: profitability, repayment terms, installation cost, what are the best panels, orientation and inclination... And questions about batteries are also frequent. For this reason, a few weeks ago we told you what to take into account when installing batteries in our publication 'Install solar battery. In parallel or in series?’.
But today we want to delve into a different topic. Many often worry aboutHow will the maintenance be carried out once the solar panels are installed?. In fact, most often think that this task will be quite complex to perform. However, the truth is that it is actually quite the opposite. So we are going to review everything you need to know about the maintenance and cleaning of photovoltaic panels.
When we talk about the maintenance of these facilities reference must be made to two key aspects: cleaning the panels and replacing defective elements. In the case of cleaning, this is usually the responsibility of the owner of the plates and it is quite simple to carry out, although we will detail how to do it later. While in the case of defective parts, everything depends on which parts are treated and what defect they present.
However, in neither case should you worry as these tasks are not very expensive. Without going any further, the cost of keeping the plates clean simply goes through spending a little water and some soap. While defective elements of the photovoltaic systems have to be changed, it is usual to resort to the guarantee. As a general rule, the guarantees are quite extensive, 10 years or more.
Another question usually has to do with solar battery maintenance, since many people do not know exactly what to do. The truth is it all depends on the type of battery in question.. For example, in most cases lithium batteries are usually installed, which do not require any type of maintenance. While if you opt for lower technology batteries, things change and it is possible that you have to perform the odd action.
Let's go to the important thing: how to clean the panels. This is what you have to worry about regarding maintenance. You should clean the panels as if they were the glass of any of the windows in your house:a little water, a sponge that does not damage the surface and they will be like new. And best of all, they do not require exhaustive cleaning, but two or three cleanings a year will suffice.
As you may have seen, the maintenance of a photovoltaic installation, be it the panels or the maintenance of solar batteries, is quite simple. In most cases everything will be limited to cleaning a couple of times a year. However, if installation errors appear, everything can be more complicated to solve. In this case, it is best to call a specialized professional, so if you find yourself in that situation, do not hesitate to contact us.
