Solar panels can help homeowners reduce their energy bills by capturing energy directly from the sun. Tesla Solar Panels Colorado has a 25-year performance guarantee and a 12.5-year inverter warranty.
However, one question customers often ask us is how much maintenance these solar panels require. Sometimes, people worry that such a tech-driven roof system will require extensive maintenance and care—but this is not the case at all! Tesla Solar Roofs are surprisingly easy to maintain.
Tesla Solar panels' low-maintenance aspect is one of their key selling points. However, that doesn’t mean they’re maintenance-free.
Why is regular maintenance essential for Tesla Solar Panels Colorado?
If dust, dirt, and grime build up on the photovoltaic panels, this reduces the amount of sunlight that comes through them. Your electrical output then decreases. Luckily, your roof will let you know if build-up becomes an issue. The Tesla Solar Roof panels carefully track how much power they are producing. If one or more panels experience a decrease in production, you’ll receive a notification. Following a few simple procedures can enhance their functionality and prolong their lifespan.
Word of caution: it is safer to hire experts, such as The Solar Revolution - licensed Tesla Solar Panels Colorado installer, for recurring inspections
However, if you plan to handle the maintenance task yourself, use the appropriate safety equipment and follow the procedure below:
Safety is paramount when cleaning solar panels. Ensure ladder stability, wear non-slip shoes
Turn off the solar panel system
Spray down the panels and roof
Apply cleaning solution
Wipe down with a soft brush or sponge
Rinse thoroughly
It’s advisable to clean the solar panels during cooler times of the day, such as early morning or late afternoon, to prevent the cleaning solution from evaporating quickly and to reduce the risk of thermal shock to the panels.
While homeowners can handle many maintenance tasks, we recommend scheduling annual inspections to ensure everything functions as it should. We inspect the wiring, check connections, assess the condition of the panels, and ensure that the inverter and monitoring systems are operating correctly.
While Tesla solar panels in Colorado are designed for durability, proper care can help avoid unnecessary repairs and ensure that the solar panels function at their best. For more information, contact us.
