What kind of maintenance does a Solar electric system require?
Solar electric systems require very little maintenance. In our area, normal rainfall cycles do a good job of keeping the panels clean. During very dry periods, it is a good idea to hose them off with a garden hose (just don’t do it when it’s very sunny out). I good rule to live by is that if you have a lot of dust or pollen on your car, there’s likely just as much on your panels and you should hose them off.
