Expert Residential Solar Maintenance Services

AES offers Residential O&M packages and one-time visits, but only for systems that we installed.

Residential solar power systems require very little O&M due to having premium monitoring systems that make it easier to detect when there’s an issue. That said, grime will build up on solar panels eventually, which is why we recommend having the solar panels cleaned and the system inspected at least once every 5 years.

Here's what is included in our O&M packages:

• Cleaning: Scrub the solar panels to remove dirt, dust, leaves, and other debris that may accumulate on the surface. This ensures that sunlight can be efficiently converted into electricity. Cleaning can be done with a hose, soft brush, or specialized solar panel cleaning equipment.
• Visual Inspections: Inspect your solar panels for any signs of damage or wear and tear, such as cracks, loose connections, squirrel nests, or damaged wiring. Early detection can prevent more significant issues.
• Trimming Vegetation: Ensure that nearby trees or vegetation don't cast excessive shade on your panels. Make recommendations to prune or remove any foliage that might obstruct sunlight.
• Monitoring System Performance: Check the online monitoring platform (if enabled) to verify system meets or exceeds its performance expectations.
• Inverter Maintenance: Check the inverter, a crucial component of the system, for any error codes or issues and perform any manufacturer recommended maintenance.
• Electrical Connections: Verify all electrical terminations within the system are torqued within specifications.

How much maintenance is required for solar panels?

Solar requires very little maintenance. In the Southeast region, cleaning the solar panels with a squeegee and water once every two to four years is sufficient. If there are overhanging trees you may want to consider more frequent cleaning to remove pine straw and leaves, especially if your panels don’t have a Leaf & Rodent Guard. It’s quite surprising how well solar panels perform even when they are covered in pollen.

The other components in the solar power system are electrical parts, which have a life expectancy of 20 to 30+ years, as long as they are installed correctly. AES puts extra care into our workmanship and we don’t cut corners, so you can rely on your solar lasting as long as possible. In fact, we stand behind our systems with an industry-leading 25-year Workmanship Warranty.
