Solar Panel Maintenance Tips – Keep Your System Working for 25+ Years
Solar systems require very low maintenance, but a few simple steps can keep your panels running at peak performance for 25 years.
1. Clean Panels Every 15–20 Days
Dust reduces efficiency by 20–30%.
Use:
✔ Soft brush
✔ RO water
✔ Microfiber cloth
Avoid:
❌ Hard water
❌ High-pressure jets
2. Clean After Dust Storms
North India sees dust storms in summer. Clean immediately after.
3. Let Rain Do the Cleaning
Rain naturally cleans panels — less effort during monsoon.
4. Annual Inspection
Ask your installer to check:
- MC4 connectors
- AC/DC wiring
- Earthing
- Inverter health
5. Check Generation Monthly
Use app monitoring to compare generation:
✔ Month-on-month
✔ Season-wise
✔ Unit trends
If production drops suddenly, call Apna Solar.
6. Avoid walking on panels
This can crack glass or damage cells.
