Solar Panel Maintenance Guide: Keep Your Panels Clean
Solar panels don’t require a lot of upkeep, but there are some things you can do to keep them powering your home for decades to come.

There’s a lot to love about installing solar panels for your home. For starters, they’re a great way to save money on your energy bill. Plus, they reduce your home’s carbon footprint. And while solar panels aren’t exactly inexpensive, they can last about 25 to 30 years.
Do solar panels need to be maintained?
The good news is that panel maintenance is minimal.
“Unlike a car, where you drive it every day and there’s moving parts and a much higher chance of something happening, solar panels don’t have any moving parts,” said Zain Jan, co-founder and CEO of Better Earth, a California-based solar installer. “Of course, there are issues that happen just like with any product, but for the most part, there aren’t many issues that happen.”
Can you monitor the health of your solar panels?
To monitor the health of your panels, check them periodically for dirt and debris buildup, which could hamper the solar panel’s performance. Over time it’s natural for your home solar panels to decrease in performance, but if they’re underperforming it might be a good idea to see if they need a good cleaning.
How do you maintain solar panels?
As the buildup of dust or debris can affect the production of renewable energy, maintaining your solar panels might just require grabbing a hose or bucket of water and spraying off your panels. “That’s the only self-maintenance you need,” Jan said. “You can hire someone to do it super cheaply.”For any other issues, you can request an inspection from your solar installer. They can determine if there’s any other maintenance that can be done.
