Do solar panels need maintenance?
Short answer yeas, solar panels need service to be able to function, so typically they can just be left alone. Various particles like dirt, leaves, etc. can obstruct the sunlight from getting through.
Maintenance is the only real difference between ground-mounted and rooftop solar power systems. Ground panels are easier to access and, as a result, easier to keep clean. Investing in a snow rake can help you clear snow off the top of ground-mounted solar panels. It’s a smart idea to consider this if you have a ground-mounted system.
While the benefits of solar panels are numerous, they require regular maintenance and service to function optimally. Here are some reasons why solar panels need maintenance:
1. Dirt and debris – Dust, leaves, and other debris can accumulate on the panels, reducing their efficiency. Regular cleaning is necessary to keep the panels functioning at peak performance.
2. Weather damage – Temperature changes, rain, and hail can cause solar panel damage. Any panel damage must be repaired promptly to prevent further problems.
Solar panels may experience electrical or mechanical issues. These can include problems with wiring, inverters, and other components. Regular servicing can detect and fix these issues before they become major problems.
Battery systems may need maintenance and replacement over time. This is essential for the system to keep working properly.
Keeping your solar energy system well-maintained will help it work better and last longer. This means you will save money over time and help the environment by reducing your carbon footprint.

Matthew McCormick ★★★★★ This is the second time we've used Dollens, first being when they upgraded the wiring to the entire house. This time they installed an isolated circuit in our garage and some can lighting. Even though it was a smaller job, they treated it just as importantly as the bigger job.They answered all our questions, let us know and talk through our options and didn't do any additional work without letting us know and approve the price difference for our requests, rather than telling us at the end of the job.A+ work!Response from the ownerThanks Mathew.

Whenever I again need electrical assistance Dollens is the one I'll call.Response from the ownerThank you Lynn. Dennise Carter ★★★★★ Response from the ownerThank you Denise. It is always a pleasure to work with you. Maggie Brady ★★★★★ Update 9/2020 - Upgraded some thermostat wiring for me with a difficult routing. Professional and quick.Update - Jason and Josh again came through for me. In the midst of a heat wave, they were able to come to the other end of the county and fix an electrical problem at my mother's house. Got the outlets for the portable AC and lift chair back working and made the wiring safer to boot.Original - Could not ask for better. Jason installed a new 40 amp circuit and an EVo charger for our car. (No more slow 110 charging. Yeah!) While working in our breaker panel he noted a dangerous situation left by a previous contractor who upgraded our air conditioning.(Side note kind of disappointing the inspector didn't notice that the other contractor put in a bigger breaker on a wire that was too small. Luckily the wire insulation had just started to bubble and it didn't catch fire.)Within a week they were able to fit us in to replace the faulty circuit as well as rewire our garage lighting to eliminate some creative but scary runs of extension cords and re-purposed outlets. Now I have bright lights and when I look up, I don't see wires draped everywhere.We connected with Jason of Dollens Electric through our equally excellent general contractor Dan Mackey. (Who by the way had nothing to do with the faulty circuit or the creative garage lighting.)Lastly a thank you to Jason's son Josh who got to do the crawling under the house.Response from the ownerWe could not ask for better customers. We are looking forward to their next project!!!Thanks Maggie and Jim!!! Dana Asaro ★★★★★ Response from the ownerThank you Dana, we appreciate you and your feed back. Cyndie Tomlinson ★★★★★ I've had a few projects done by Dollens..would highly recommend them...very trustworthy & professionalResponse from the ownerThanks Cyndie! Call us anytime, you're a great customer! I hope you and your Neighbor Dave's Work we completed last you two a long time! Good Job with the lights BTW. Lindsay Deauville ★★★★★ Jason always does a great job, thanksResponse from the ownerThank you Lindsay. It’s always great to see you. Matt Dobilas ★★★★★ I had Dollens come out to bid on installing a standby generator and they were friendly, on time, and professional. They walked me through options, explained what they were looking out and why and asked lots of follow up questions to make sure i was getting a bid for everything i wanted and needed.Public Brady ★★★★★ These guys are the best. Very knowledgeable when troubleshooting old problems from less capable electricians who were here for prior owners. Installed a new outlet in my hardwood floor that looks beautiful along with solving our "where to put the lamp" problem. Lastly wired up a cat6 network allowing us to move our router/hub into a closet off my desk.Call/use them; you won't be sorry.Hide/Gayle ★★★★★ Lee Wong ★★★★★ On time, explains the work so you will understand what was done and why.Amy Tamura ★★★★★ Jason, Josh, and Elijah were prompt, considerate, professional, trustworthy, and kind. The work for our recessed lighting project was done quickly and with care, precision, and high quality. Jason was very thorough in explaining what they had done and why. I would have no reservations with them and highly recommend them!Steve Longerbeam ★★★★★ Response from the ownerThank you Steve. We appreciate the feed back. It was a pleasure. Kofoworola Orojo-Oke ★★★★★ Kofoworola Oluwole-Orojo ★★★★★ Very knowledgeable team, friendly and with a great sense of humor. Thank you so much for a job very well done!
