Essential Maintenance Tips

  1. Solar Panels
    • Cleaning
      • Frequency:Clean your solar panels at least twice a year. If you live in a dusty or pollen-heavy area, consider cleaning them more frequently.
      • Method:Use a soft cloth or sponge with water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive materials and harsh chemicals.
      • Safety:Clean from the ground with a long-handled tool. Do not stand on the structure or panels.
    • Routine Checks
      • Visual Inspection:Regularly check for debris like leaves or bird droppings.
      • Performance Monitoring:Use your gateway monitoring device to ensure optimal performance. A performance drop might indicate the need for cleaning or further inspection.
  2. Shade Structure
    • Cleaning
      • Frequency:Clean every few months.
      • Method:Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly.
      • Avoid:Do not use power washers, as they can damage the wood and panels.
    • Restaining Wood
      • Frequency:Restain every 2-3 years, depending on your climate.
      • Method:Lightly sand the surface, then apply a new coat of high-quality stain or sealant.
  3. Electrical Components
