Your Solar Panels Have Been Installed What
Happens Now?

• Congratulations! Youve made the fantastic
  decision to have a solar panel system installed
  at your home, and are now ready to reap its many
  benefits! However, can you just leave the system
  to work its magic, or is there anything you
  should do to help it along, or preserve it?
• Many homeowners wonder if having a solar system
  installed requires much effort on their part, and
  while such systems typically need very little
  maintenance thanks to the absence of any moving
  parts, there are a few things to keep in mind

• Monitor the system
• Solar systems often come with remote monitoring
  systems that enable you to easily check on their
  production, and its always a good idea to
  familiarize yourself with it so that you check on
  its performance and ensure that its functioning
  as it should.

• If your solar panel system doesnt have a remote
  monitoring system, however, its production will
  still be monitored by your local utility company.
  Theyll have a meter that closely monitors the
  energy your household consumes, and the amount of
  energy you generate. When the energy/power you
  produce exceeds the amount that your household
  needs, that excess is then sent into the electric
  utilitys grid, in the form of a credit. When
  this happens, the meter begins to run backward.

• Maintaining the system
• In most instances, a professionally installed
  solar panel system will require next to no
  maintenance or cleaning. While dust and debris
  will inevitably form on the surface of the
  panels, all it takes is a rainstorm, and theyre
  washed clean and ready to continue producing
  green energy for your home. That said, it is
  worth periodically checking the panels to make
  sure theyre not grubby, or that bird droppings
  or any other particularly stubborn stains,
  havent built up on them. If they do look dirty
  and youre concerned, you can always call up the
  company who installed them and ask them to come
  out and inspect them, and clean them if
  necessary. Depending on the position of the
  panels, accessing them without professional
  equipment can be dangerous, and its always best
  have professionals do it, safely.

• You should also check every now and then, that
  nothing is obstructing the panels and that all
  the equipment is in good working order in the
  majority of instances, this can be done through
  the solar panel monitoring system, from the
  comfort of your home.
• And thats really all there is to it! A
  professionally installed solar panel system will
  typically look after itself, and continue to
  produce clean, green energy for your home, for
  many, many years to come.
