There are some good reasons why you need to stay on top of solar panel maintenance

The power of the sun: If you want to keep taking advantage of solar power, it's important to make sure your panels are working at their best. Maintenance is key!


Regular inspections of your solar panels is a necessary, but sometimes overlooked part of maintaining them.


By ensuring regular routine maintenance is undertaken, you can be confident your solar panel system working for you. Routine maintenance will also allow the performance of your power system to stay where its supposed to be so that long-term savings are maximised. DRC Electrical are your reliable team when it comes to solar panel system maintenance in Springfield Lakes and beyond.


How often do I need to maintain my solar panel system?


This is dependant on the specifications outlined by the manufacturer or installer. Keep all original documentation handy!


Who can undertake routine maintenance on my solar panel system?


Not you! Unless you are a licenced electrician or registered installer. Unlike standard electrical products, turning a solar panel system ‘off’ at the switch does not mean that the system no longer poses an electrical hazard. With roof mounted systems, some maintenance tasks may need to be conducted on the actual roof which can present additional risks and height safety requirements.


It is recommended that solar panel systems should only be inspected and maintained by a licenced electrician.
