Importance of Maintenance:
Understanding the maintenance of your solar panels is important for long-lasting effectiveness. Once the correct installation is complete, there are ways that you can ensure your panels do not get damaged or lose their maximum efficiency capacity.
For anyone who has invested in solar panels in the hope of contributing positively to the climate, and for the reduction in your electricity bills; Solar maintenance should be your next priority.
Below are some of the most common damages that solar panels can sustain and prevention tips, so this does not happen to you or your product.
What is PID:
PID stands for Potential Induced Degradation. This is damage caused by fluctuation in voltage levels. If the fluctuation between the different levels of voltage from the grounded frames to the solar cells is too much, then the quality of your solar panel may start to deteriorate.

Debris and Weather Damage:
Some of the most common damages that your solar panel will go through comes from weather changes.
Hail, falling debris, rainfall, and even dust build-up can all impact the effectiveness of your solar panel, and here’s why.
Debris:
Twigs, branches, or anything that may scratch your solar panel, may reduce its overall energy output.
This is due to scratches being left on the side of the panel, that in turn reduces the amount of sunlight that reaches the cells.
To prevent this, removing low-hanging branches or anything that may further hinder or cover your panels will result in more payback from your product.
Dust build-up may seem like a small or trivial issue and one that many would not even think of.
However, through the lack of maintenance on your panels, dust will build up that results in unwanted residue causing shade.
This too will contribute to the reduction in your energy production.
At Sunvolt, we highly recommend that you hire a professional team to tend to your solar panels regularly. Their maintenance is hugely important for their optimal performance. Please call Sunvolt today to find out how we can help!
Weather:
