What kind of maintenance does a PV system require ?
A fixed PV system is solid state and has no moving parts, making it the single most reliable form of commercial electricity generation, with very little maintenance required. In areas where it does not rain for many months at a time, solar panels can accumulate dust and dirt. Washing systems a few times a year during the summer months is recommended in dry climates. Performance impacts from soiling are marginal, particularly in climates where it rains at least once a month.
