How to care for your new solar roof
Solar panels need to be clean to make the most amount of power, so that means keeping them free of dust or other debris. Since they’re made of glass, snow usually melts off once the sun comes out, but if not you may want to brush it off with a soft-bristled extended brush.
If the panels get dusty and the rain doesn’t clean them off, you can spray them with a hose (only when they’re cool) or hire a local cleaning service. This will help you maximize your electric bill savings.
Your solar panels can generate energy anytime the sun is shining all year round. If you notice any decrease in energy production while checking your smartphone monitoring app, it might mean they just need a cleaning.
