Operación y Mantenimiento de su sistema solar

Operation and Maintenance of your solar system

Keeping solar panels clean is essential to ensure maximum efficiency and extend their lifespan. The accumulation of dust, leaves, and other debris can reduce the amount of energy captured from the sun, thereby decreasing the energy supplied to your home. Below are some key recommendations for cleaning the panels safely and effectively.

Recommendations for Safe and Effective Cleaning

Use LED bulbs: Use unpressurized water: Let water run over the panels without applying direct pressure to avoid damaging the surface.

Use specialized cleaning products: Use only cleaners specifically formulated for solar panels; avoid abrasive products.

Use soft brushes: Soft-bristled brushes are ideal for cleaning without damaging the glass or panel components.

Avoid very hot days: Do the cleaning on cool days or early in the early mornings.

Recommended Cleaning Frequency

Clean your solar panels every 12 months or depending on dirt accumulation. If your energy production is not being affected, you will not need to clean your solar panels.

For Complete and Safe Maintenance

Contact the company that installed your solar system to arrange for proper maintenance.

If your system is covered by a maintenance contract with the installer, avoid hiring third parties to perform this work, as it could affect your warranty.

Your safety comes first; avoid climbing onto your roof—leave that to an expert.
