When installing a solar energy system, it is important to take into consideration the local climate and sunlight availability, as well as the size and type of panel needed. Additionally, proper maintenance is necessary in order to maximize efficiency and ensure that panels are operating correctly. Regularly inspect panels for damage or disconnected wiring, clean panels regularly to remove dirt or debris which can decrease efficiency, and use protective covers or adjust panel angles seasonally to gain optimum output. Annual testing by an authorized technician can also help ensure your system is working properly.

The best practices for installing and maintaining a solar energy system are to use high-quality components that have been sized appropriately for the area’s average sunlight levels, locate the panels on a south-facing roof or an angle that captures maximum sun exposure, properly connect the panels to an energy storage device and inverter, insulate the panel connections from elements such as water or animals, inspect components regularly to ensure they remain in good working order and perform yearly maintenance checkups.
