Solar panel maintenance in Portobello
Premium solar panels, like those we install, require no maintenance. There are exceptions to this of course.
Generally, due to how the panels are built, rain essentially washes the solar panels.
But depending on individual circumstances, leaves, bird droppings and lichen can build up over time.
On these occasions, maintenance would be required.
The solar panels would need to be cleaned with rainwater or similar.
But generally, manufacturer guidelines tend to note no maintenance is required.
And on occasions where electrical issues arise, due to impact damage for example, we do offer solar panel maintenance services in Portobello.
