When Do Solar Panels Require Maintenance?

Solar panels are built to last, but like any technology, they benefit from regular upkeep to stay efficient. Most systems should be inspected at least once a year to check for dirt buildup, shading issues, wiring wear, or weather-related damage. You might also need maintenance if you notice a drop in energy production, unexpected system alerts, or visible damage to panels or mounting equipment. Catching small issues early can help prevent bigger, more costly problems down the road.

Solar Panel Maintenance FAQs

Mother nature will take care of your system, and a good rain clears the debris collected over time between rains. That means that in normal circumstances, there is almost never a reason to clean your solar array unless it’s at least ten years old and has a very noticeable material buildup that does not get washed off by the rain.

There are occasions where you could improve the performance, such as if pollen has covered your panels. However, it may not be worth the risk if you need to get up the roof. If buildup has become significant on an older system, hiring a professional with the correct equipment and experience may be worth it to clean the system properly. If that gets done once every 15 years or so on a system with significant pollen or moss buildup, the increased performance will likely more than pay for the service.

Over winter, you will notice a decline in the productivity of your solar panels. This decrease is mostly due to shorter daylight. Other factors, such as snow and ice, will only affect the efficiency for a few days. Cleaning snow off your solar panels is usually quite dangerous, and we do not recommend doing that.

The cost of solar panel maintenance can vary depending on the size of your system and the type of service needed. Basic inspections and cleanings typically start around $150 to $300, while more involved repairs may cost more depending on the issue. At Belmont Solar, we provide transparent pricing and only recommend the services your system truly needs. Keeping your panels in good shape helps prevent costly problems down the line, making maintenance a smart investment in long-term energy savings.
