Compared to other mechanical components in your home, solar panels are relatively maintenance-free. But much like your furnace filter or clothes dryer exhaust, they do need occasional TLC to maximize their efficiency.

Snow-covered solar panels? Don’t worry—alerts about production issues are normal and should clear once the snow melts. Your system is designed to handle seasonal changes, so there’s no need to remove snow yourself. If production issues persist after full sun exposure, contact us, and we’ll be happy to investigate.

While your solar system will last 40+ years, you may not be the owner for the entire life of the system. Solar is a substantial investment and any homeowner should make sure they benefit from their investment when the time comes to refinance or sell their home.

Are you thinking of selling your solar home? How do you find a knowledgeable real estate agent with experience selling solar homes? What can you do to help market your solar system to buyers?

If you’ve been working on spring cleaning around the house, it’s a good time to think about applying the same to your system. Just as you clean your gutters regularly to keep debris from accumulating, the same goes for your solar panels.
