Solar Panel Maintenance Tips For Fall
Solar Panel Maintenance Tips For Fall
Solar panels are now more efficient, economical, and popular than ever before. In fact, their price has dropped more than 60% in the past years, making them a more affordable option. As the price plunged, the solar power industry’s revenue, on the other hand, has skyrocketed, from $42 million in 2007 to $270 million in 2017. This only shows that many people are shifting to this alternative energy solution for sustainable living.
Read on as Green Air Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc., a premier solar panel company in the area, shares some maintenance tips to optimize your solar panels’ efficiency.
Why It’s Necessary to Maintain Your Solar Panels
Similar to other components of your home, solar panels require regular maintenance to stay in good shape. Solar panels can lose 15 to 25% of their efficiency when not maintained. Clean solar panels, on the other hand, can generate 3.5 to 5.1% more electricity. To maximize their benefits, consider cleaning them at least twice a year.
How to Clean Your Solar Panels
Make time to clean your solar panels this fall. Remember to check first the manufacturer’s maintenance instructions before cleaning the panels. You may also want to clean your solar panels in the morning or on a relatively cool day. That’s because the panels tend to become hot when exposed to sunlight.
To remove dust and dirt, use your garden hose and wash the surface. You may also use a soft cloth or sponge soaked in warm water and soap to clean the surface. Note that there’s no need to clean the wiring underneath.

Customer Testimonials
Our clients love the energy solutions we provide!
Nick is very well educated on the products industry. He has been in the industry for years now and knows more than anyone else I have spoken to. Its very refreshing to have the owner of the company come out to talk to you about your options compared to a door to door sales guy who cant even answer the most basic questions. Im very happy with the service and attention to detail.

These guys actually know what they are doing and do what they say they are going to do. They are capable in many areas including installing solar panels, Tesla batteries and also HVAC. They complete the whole job with their own employees rather than using outside contractors. We were really pleased with the results on three separate jobs. Thanks.

Nick and Green Air installed our Solar One year ago, it has exceeded its projected output and works great! The work was started and completed on time and Green Air completed all the extra work such as getting permits from the city of Benicia. Green Air employees cleaned up their work site daily and they were a pleasure to work with. I love the fact that we have shrunk our carbon footprint.

Our solar was installed on our house earlier this year. I found Nick and Green Air to be extremely professional, responsive to questions and started and completed the job on time. Nick has a very strong work ethic and was competitive in his pricing as compared to other companies. It’s also nice to know that PG & E is now my customer!
