# Solar Maintenance

Routine maintenance keeps your system producing at peak efficiency and preserves manufacturer warranty coverage.

## What's included in a maintenance visit

- Visual panel inspection and cleaning
- Mounting and racking torque checks
- Electrical connection and conductor inspection
- Inverter and optimizer diagnostics
- Inverter firmware updates as available
- Monitoring portal review and alert configuration
- Ground-fault and arc-fault testing
- Written report with findings and recommendations

## Recommended cadence

- **Semi-annual** for most homes, spring (after pollen) and fall (after leaf drop).
- **Annual** for systems in low-soiling environments without nearby trees.

## Why it matters

Manufacturer warranties typically require periodic professional inspection. Skipping maintenance can void coverage on panels, inverters, and microinverters. Soiled panels can lose 5-15% of production; loose connections create fire risk and can disable strings of panels.

## Service across PA and Ohio

We maintain systems across our service areas regardless of original installer. If you bought your system from a company that's no longer in business, we can take over service.
