Case Study: Transforming Solar Efficiency with a Free Annual Health Check

At Eco Solar and Electric, we’re dedicated to ensuring our clients get the most out of their solar energy systems. Recently, we conducted a free annual health check for the Nguyen family, which highlighted the significant impact of proper maintenance on solar panel performance.

The Initial Assessment

During our comprehensive inspection, we evaluated the entire solar system:

  • Solar Panels: We found that all the solar panels were underperforming. The primary issue was soiling – a buildup of dirt, dust, and debris that was blocking sunlight and reducing efficiency.
  • Junction Box: Our inspection confirmed that the junction box was weather-resistant and in excellent condition, showing no signs of water ingress or other damage.
  • SolarEdge Inverter: The SolarEdge inverter was functioning well, efficiently converting the solar power generated into usable electricity for the home.
  • Signs of Critters: There were no signs of critters and no need to install Solar skirts to protect critter from going underneath the Solar panels.

The Solution: Optimization “Solar Scrubbing Washes”

To address the underperformance of the solar panels, we recommended and performed our specialized optimization “solar scrubbing washes.” This thorough cleaning process is designed to remove all the dirt and debris, significantly improving the panels’ ability to capture sunlight.

According to the Department of Energy, cleaning soiled panels can increase their efficiency by up to 30%, and this was evident in the Johnsons’ case. After the cleaning, we conducted performance tests which confirmed a substantial increase in the energy output of their solar system.

Results: Before and After

The difference was remarkable. The Johnson family’s solar panels were once again operating at optimal efficiency, providing the clean energy needed to power their home effectively.

Conclusion

Regular maintenance, including professional cleaning, is essential to maximizing the performance and lifespan of your solar panels. The Johnson family’s experience underscores the importance of keeping solar panels clean and well-maintained.
