Florida Solar Panel Service

Although solar panels are generally made of tempered glass, they are designed to withstand dry and wet, cold and warm weather. Thus, it can be said that they can withstand hail. Aside from the tracking mount portion of the solar panels, there are no other movable parts in the solar electric system. In line with this, there is a significant reduction in the possibility of problems in the system or its parts. However, solar panel users should be prudent enough to know that it still needs maintenance.

What kind of maintenance practices should be performed with your Florida solar panels?

Solar electric system maintenance can be performed by companies which offer solar panel services. This may include but not limited to the following:

• Solar panel manufacturing
• Solar electric system installation
• Solar panel maintenance and repair

Solar panels should be inspected even for a few times a year in order to check and clear possible collection of debris and dirt. Even if this can be done by homeowners themselves, many still prefer availing the mentioned services for safety purposes. This is reasonable given that most solar panels are installed on the roof.

Solar panel cleaning may be done manually or automatically. For the former, an individual may use a ladder and a garden hose which will be needed in washing the surface of the panels. On the other hand, for the latter, automated cleaners can be programmed to clean your panels like sprinklers.

Warranties for Solar Panels

Solar panel service providers often offer warranties to match their panel installation. While you can maintain your solar panels all you want, there are events which are simply uncontrollable. Such can cause damage to your solar electric systems. But you should not worry because many companies provide warranties for a long period of time. It includes support or replacement of the unit if necessary.

Guarantees are often connected to the power output of the panels. Replacements and services happen only when necessary or the power output guarantee was not reached or met. For example, a company may give a warranty with the guarantee that peak power output of the solar panel would not be less than 85 percent of its capacity for the next 10 years. If this is not met, the consumer may demand a replacement or free services to put it back in shape.
To end, solar panel users in Florida should be proactive in cleaning and maintaining their own systems. Other than this, users should also make it a point to identify and address issues with their solar electric system in order to avoid higher costs of buying a completely new system.
