Solar panels, like any other piece of equipment, require maintenance and cleaning. However, the question is why, when acquiring them, do we take it for granted that they are an option that does not require it?
It may be because we are very excited to enjoy the benefits of having installed our solar panels and the great savings that these will bring to our pocket or could it be that since the energy of the sun is unlimited and that solar panels with the rain is more than enough?
The truth is that the benefits of having our solar panels installed are extensive and that is why we must take care of our investment and avoid performance losses due to things like "soiling" or, in other words, dirt on the solar panels. So le's consider it a "natural loss" in efficiency of anywhere from 2% to a whopping 38% loss in efficiency.
But then, how often should I clean my solar panels? This answer could be answered as simply as saying that they should be done at least twice a year, but the truth is that the recommended cleaning will depend on the circumstances in which they are installed, for example, if the place is near areas of construction, it is very likely that the panels will be filled with dust more frequently than usual so once every three months will help keep your panels with the desired efficiency.
Not only is cleaning the panels necessary, it is important to review and, if necessary, maintain the components, such as panels, inverters, general panels, pickups, cables, protection devices, fuses, among other things. .
Another essential activity is the review of the state of the structure, and although many installers use certified structures and manufactured to resist, other installers usually use non-certified structures that eventually, in the face of a strong wind, can detach.
