Winter maintenance and cleaning ensure optimal performance from your solar PV system, making sure you keep getting the most out of your investment. Read these top tips from your AF Renewables team to keep your PV’s producing.
Cleaning off debris helps ensure your panels work at their best, maximising energy output and giving you a head-start before generation season. It’s much easier to clean off damp dirt deposits before the weather gets better and bakes them back on.
Common resistance faults in connectors and plugs are often easier to trace this time of year due to higher humidity levels.
Only clean PVs with correct equipment (which we can procure) to avoid damaging them. Alternatively, ask us for a quote from one of our approved suppliers.
Most solar PV manufacturers insist on regular maintenance schedules to keep warranties valid.
A winter check-up by PV specialists can identify potential issues, so your panels, inverters, and other components remain guaranteed and in tiptop condition when the sun comes out.
If you’re renewing your property insurance, it’s worth noting most policies require annual checks to be carried out by a certified professional on solar PV generating equipment.
Keeping your system clean and well-maintained also reduces underwriter risks and helps keep your insurance premiums in check.
