FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Solar Maintenance FAQs
We recommend professional maintenance at least once a year for most residential systems. Commercial systems or those in areas with heavy pollen, dust, wildfire smoke, or bird activity may benefit from service 2-4 times per year.
While simple hosing can help, professional cleaning uses specialized equipment and purified water that leaves no residue. Additionally, working on rooftop systems without proper safety equipment poses significant risks. Our maintenance also includes electrical inspections that identify issues beyond just dirty panels.
Our maintenance plans start at $250 for basic residential systems. The exact cost depends on system size, roof complexity, and service frequency. Many customers find that increased production after maintenance pays for the service within months.
No. Most monitoring systems only track overall production. They can miss panel-level issues, gradual efficiency losses, and many electrical problems. Professional inspection catches problems your monitoring won't detect.
Decreased energy production, higher than expected utility bills, error messages on your inverter, or monitoring system alerts are all signs your system may need professional attention.
