Common Solar O&M Questions
How often should I schedule maintenance for my residential or commercial solar system?
For both residential and commercial solar systems, it’s recommended to perform preventive maintenance at least annually. Regular maintenance, including inspections and system performance evaluations, helps ensure optimal efficiency, reduce downtime, and prevent costly repairs by catching potential issues early.
What are common signs that my solar system may need repair?
Common signs include a significant drop in energy production, fault codes from the inverter, physical damage to components like panels or wiring, and increased system downtime. Monitoring systems can provide real-time data to alert you when production falls below expected levels, indicating the need for maintenance or repairs.
Is there a difference in maintenance requirements for residential and commercial solar systems?
Yes, while both types of systems benefit from routine maintenance, commercial systems tend to require more frequent and specialized O&M services due to their larger scale and more complex configurations. Commercial systems may also include additional components, such as energy storage, that require extra attention.
What tasks are included in a routine O&M service for solar systems?
Routine O&M includes tasks such as system performance monitoring, cleaning of panels to remove soiling, checking electrical connections, inspecting for physical damage, and reviewing inverter performance. Preventive maintenance aims to maximize system efficiency and prevent issues that could lead to system downtime.
