Frequently Asked Questions
Do Solar Panels Require Maintenance ?
A grid-tied solar panel installation may require maintenance from time to time, including:
- Reconnecting system monitoring to the internet if you change your internet provider or Wi-Fi password.
- Performing firmware updates from the inverter manufacturer to ensure access to the latest technology.
- Replacing failed components under warranty.
- Annual cleaning to remove debris such as leaves. To address these needs, Xolar offers very affordable maintenance plans alongside their 25-year product manufacturer warranties.
Will Snow Affect Solar Panels ?
