Solar System Maintenance Guide
Simple and practical maintenance steps to help your solar system stay efficient, safe, and long-lasting — for you and the planet.
1. Monthly Health Check
- Monitor daily energy generation using your solar app or inverter display, especially on sunny days.
- Check inverter screen for any warning or error codes.
- Inspect visible wiring and junction boxes for wear, loose connections, or animal interference.
- If you have batteries, monitor voltage and state-of-health indicators.
2. Panel Cleaning
Dust, bird droppings, and pollution can reduce efficiency by up to 25%. Clean panels every 2–3 months or when visible dust appears. Use soft water and a microfiber cloth — never use soap, harsh brushes, or during peak sunlight hours.
3. Battery Care
Modern lithium-ion batteries are largely maintenance-free, but ensure proper ventilation around the unit. Keep the area dry, clean, and shaded from direct sunlight. Ideal operating temperature is between 15°C and 30°C.
4. Inverter Maintenance
Your inverter is the brain of the solar system. Keep it dust-free and ensure open airflow. Clean air vents monthly. If you notice unusual noises, flickering lights, or frequent shutdowns — call a technician immediately.
5. Electrical Safety
Never open or touch any live electrical part. Turn off the system during heavy rain, lightning, or maintenance work. Check earthing points annually — proper grounding is essential for both safety and performance.
6. Annual Professional Check-up
A professional inspection once a year helps ensure your system runs efficiently. Technicians verify wiring, insulation, inverter calibration, and system output. Regular servicing prevents long-term damage and maintains your warranty.
