How do I maintain my solar panels as a homeowner?

A SolarWise Team Answered by

Maintaining your solar panels is relatively straightforward. Regularly check for dirt, leaves, and debris that can obstruct sunlight and reduce efficiency. Cleaning them with water and a soft brush can help; however, avoid harsh chemicals. It's also a good idea to have a professional inspection every few years to ensure everything is functioning correctly. For specific maintenance advice tailored to your system, consult your installer or refer to resources on energy.gov.au.
