Tips On Extending The Life Of Your Solar Panels

Solar panels are enjoying more mainstream popularity these days due to their increased efficiency and longevity. But much like other devices or appliances, solar panels do still have a limited service life. On average, solar panels can last for 25 years or more depending on various factors.

In this post, HVAC repair and solar panel installation expert Green Air Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. shares some tips to help you maximize the life span of your solar panels.

Clean And Inspect The Panels Regularly

Keep the solar panels clean and invest in preventive maintenance so that you can avoid or minimize damage to the panels. By getting rid of leaves and dust on your panels, you can prevent sun rays from being blocked and help foster better energy conversion. Also, if there is a large bird population in your area, you might want to consider installing bird barriers. Apart from preventing birds from nesting under the panels, you can also prevent bird droppings, which can cause chemical damage to the panels.

Of course, don’t forget to have your solar panels inspected regularly as well. HVAC contractors are trained and experienced in spotting defects and potential problems, so it’s best to have them carry out this task. Typically, they look out for cracks, loose racks, exposed wirings and damaged panels.

Use A Backup Battery

A backup battery can reduce the load of the solar panels and enable you to use more than one device at a time. Examples of these solar-powered systems are umbrellas and lamps, which are typically designed with a storage system where the energy is saved. This saved energy can be used at night so that you can get more savings on your energy bills.

Make Sure The Panels Are Angled Correctly

Ensure that the solar panels are installed at the right angle. The best angle is the one where the panels can receive the most amount of sunlight all year round. Solar installation experts are usually well-versed in this aspect, so you should consult them regarding this matter.

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.
