C.5. Maintenance and Weather

What are the maintenance requirements?

There is almost no maintenance required for a rooftop PV solar system.

Rain will keep the panels clean and there are no moving parts to break down.







How does weather affect the panels?

Panels are generally quite durable and built to resist the elements.

Hail should not have an impact on your system.

In the winter, the panels may get covered in snow.
The panels will heat up during daytime sunlight creating a water slick that will cause the snow to slide off the panels.


You may need to brush off the panels after a very heavy snowfall.
