Solar panels (also known as photovoltaic panels or PV) are great for the environment, and if you’ve had them installed at home or even at work, you will know what a saving they can help you make on your electricity bill.
And as they become a more popular choice for both homes and businesses across the UK, it’s really important that people understand how to maintain them to continue getting the most benefit.
As with anything electrical, solar panels come with potential risks.
For example, solar panels can’t be switched off, so a small electrical fault can easily turn into a big problem. And while rare, this could even be caused by something as small as a leaf getting stuck underneath a panel.
Most panels don’t have an automatic fire detection system either. That means if a fire should break out, it can spread quickly, and because of where panels are positioned, they aren’t always the most accessible.
For these reasons, solar panels should be tested and cleaned once every 12 months.
