You want to make sure you get the best out of your investment in panels for home. These are some ways to ensure your solar panels last.

1. Cleaning And Upkeep

Solar panels that are clean will absorb more sunlight. Some solar panels require weekly cleanings while others can be cleaned every other month. Depending on where you live, the frequency of cleaning your panels will vary.

2. Regular Maintenance And Servicing

Your panels last longer if they are maintained well. The same applies to panels. Your installed solar panels that aren’t regularly maintained or cleaned are more likely not to last.

3. Installation

The panel’s installation, the racking system used and the location of the panels on your roof all contribute to its degradation. It is important to pay attention to panel installation and other potential dangers, such as low tree branches.

What Is The Best Time To Replace Solar?

If your panels don’t produce enough electricity to pay your electric bill, it is an indicator that it is time to replace them. In recent years, the panel’s degradation rate has been decreasing. An older model may have degraded quicker than the industry standard.

An app or physical tracker can be used to check how much electricity your panels produce. This can help you identify the rate at which they are declining. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you should replace your panels, even if it is lower than before. However, it might be a good idea to save up for future ones.

Most homeowners don’t want to spend too much on solar panels. You can make panels last for many decades by doing your research on their lifespan and following simple maintenance steps.
