MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING OF PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS
All types of photovoltaic systems require frequent cleaning and maintenance to ensure optimal operation of the entire facility. Maintenance and cleaning services also serve to ensure that photovoltaic panels can work safely, avoiding unpleasant incidents that can even lead to fire. For this reason, it is necessary to subject the facility, on time, to certain interventions.
Cleaning photovoltaic panels is a necessary procedure to ensure optimal absorption of solar radiation. Dust or any agent covering the solar module limits its exposure to irradiation, so it is advisable to carry out routine cleaning, usually seasonally, which will serve to clean and clear the panel of accumulated dirt.
Maintenance work on a photovoltaic system is divided into:
- control of inverters through indicator LEDs to ensure efficiency in operation;
- Checking cable connections, remote monitoring systems, switches, fuses, and battery chargers;
In the case of stand-alone photovoltaic systems action is needed to check the state of the batteries by checking the charge from the system after isolating them from the system. The state of charge and the battery are in an optimal situation if the measured voltage is not less than the rated voltage.
Next we proceed with:
- the cleaning of components;
- visual inspection for internal deterioration to the watertight seal of the panel;
- checking wiring and electrical connections;
- voltage control;
- checking the antifreeze liquid.
It is essential that, any maintenance work and on any type of system be carried out by trained personnel who are familiar with the electrical processes of the entire system and the safety measures required to initiate the work.
For this reason, it is essential to rely on experts in the field. Active in the renewable energy sector for years, we practice maintenance and cleaning services for photovoltaic systems. Contact us for a quote!
