Reduction of Energy Bill
Generating your own electricity means less dependence on the utility grid. Over time, the savings stack up — enough to pay the system off and keep rewarding you for decades.
Keep panels covered when not in use. Debris entering the frame or cells can cause damage. Covers made specifically for solar panel systems are worth the modest investment.
Store any removable panels under a covered area above your garage or on a protected path. It saves you cleaning time and prevents accidental damage from falling branches.
Invest in a dedicated solar cleaning solution like the Eco-Wash from The Eco Wand Company. These formulations are non-toxic and safe on crystalline silicon.
Every six months — or more often in dusty or pollen-heavy areas — inspect your panels for hairline cracks or corrosion. Call a pro immediately if you spot anything.
Never use tap water containing minerals, and never use a power washer. Use filtered rainwater mixed with isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber cloth — work bottom-up, and let panels dry completely before reactivating.
