What We're Usually Asked
How often should I clean my solar panels?
Most homes do well with 2–4 cleanings per year, plus an extra rinse after heavy pollen, dust, ash, or nearby construction; pair this with a yearly Sunlution inspection for peak performance.
Do I really need annual inspections?
Yes—an annual check lets us verify wiring and mounting hardware, test inverter health, apply firmware updates, and catch small issues before they affect production.
Can I clean panels myself, and what’s the safe way to do it?
If they’re safely accessible, clean early morning with a soft brush/squeegee and plain or deionized water; avoid abrasives, soap residue, and pressure washers—when in doubt (steep roofs, two stories), book Sunlution’s pro cleaning.
Does maintenance affect my warranty?
Proper upkeep helps keep warranties in good standing—use approved methods, don’t open sealed components, and keep service records (Sunlution’s professional service is designed with warranty protection in mind).
How do I preserve my home battery?
Keep firmware up to date, maintain good ventilation and moderate temps, avoid frequent deep discharges, set a reserve state-of-charge in the app, and schedule periodic health checks.
How will I know if something needs service?
Watch for monitoring alerts, a sudden production drop, inverter warning lights, tripped breakers, unusual noises, or visible wear—if you see any of these, contact Sunlution and we’ll diagnose and tune things up.
What maintenance is required, and how often?
Review your monitoring monthly; do light cleanings 2–4×/year (or after ash/pollen); schedule a yearly Sunlution inspection with inverter firmware + battery health check.
What if my system underperforms—when should I call support?
DIY is fine on 1‑story, ≤6:12 slope roofs using a soft brush + DI/soft water when panels are cool; hire a pro for steep/two‑story roofs, heavy soiling, tricky access, or to protect roof/panel warranties.
What are the costs associated with maintenance?
Call if production drops ≥15–20% for 3+ clear days, you see inverter/battery alerts or offline status, or there’s new shade/damage—even after a rinse.
Is there a seasonal maintenance checklist?
Typical annual inspection + wash: $150–$350 (more for 2‑story/large arrays); Sunlution’s Care Plan includes the annual visit, firmware updates, and a battery check—add‑ons like critter guard, IR scans, and storm reports are optional.
How long do batteries last, and when should they be replaced?
Spring: rinse pollen, check seals; Fall: clear leaves/trim shade; After storms/smoke: ground visual + app check, gentle rinse—book service if anything looks loose, cracked, or offline.
Does cleaning my panels use water? What kind of water or method?
Most lithium home batteries last ~10–15 years to 70–80% capacity; plan replacement when runtime no longer meets your needs or faults increase.
What are the signs of damage I should look for?
Expect ~1–3 gallons per panel for a careful rinse; use deionized/distilled or soft water with a soft brush/squeegee and clean when panels are cool—avoid pressure washers or harsh detergents.
