How to Maintain Solar Panels?

Maintaining solar panels is important to ensure optimal performance and extend their lifespan. Here are some steps you can take to maintain your solar panels:

1. Keep the panels clean of dust, dirt, leaves, and other debris. This will reduce their efficiency. Clean the panels regularly with a microfiber cloth and water. Yes, it’s that easy.

2. Inspect the panels regularly for cracks, chips, or other types of damage.

3. Keep track of the energy production of your solar panels using a monitoring system or app. If you notice a decrease in performance, it could indicate a problem that needs attention.

4. Trees and other obstructions can cast shade on your solar panels, reducing their efficiency. Keep nearby vegetation/trees trimmed to prevent shading.

By following these steps, you can help ensure that your solar panels operate at peak efficiency and last for many years.

Pros and Cons of Installing Tilt Mounts for Solar Panels

Tilt mounts for solar panels can be a great addition to your solar panel system, but like any other technology, they come with their own set of pros and cons. Here are some of the pros and cons of using tilt mounts for solar panels:

Pros:

1. Increased Efficiency: Tilt mounts can increase the efficiency of your solar panel system by allowing them to capture more sunlight throughout the day. This is especially true in areas where the sun's angle changes dramatically throughout the year.

2. Easier Maintenance: Tilt mounts make maintenance and cleaning of solar panels easier as they provide easy access to the solar panels.

Cons:

1. Additional Weight: Tilt mounts can add additional weight to your system making installation somewhat difficult.

2. Vulnerable to Wind Damage: Tilt mounts increase the surface area exposed to wind, making them more susceptible to damage during strong winds or storms.

Overall, tilt mounts can greatly improve the efficiency and maintenance difficulty of your solar panel system. We offer many options of tilt-mount. Head on over to our “Mounts” category and find the one that works for you.
