Where to Install Your Home Solar Panels

As you prepare for your new home solar panels, you should carefully consider where to install them on your property. By taking some important factors into account, you can maximize your system’s efficiency and effectiveness.

Monitor the amount of direct sunlight that hits your property. Ideally, home solar panels should be installed on a south-facing roof or a space that experiences minimal shading throughout the day. Maximizing the sunlight exposure that your panels receive will optimize the amount of energy they produce. Finally, you’ll need to analyze your roof’s pitch to gauge whether the panels will be tilted at the optimal angle to capture enough sunlight. If your roof isn’t suited for solar panels, consult with our team. The professionals at POCO Solar Energy, Inc. will be happy to help you analyze your property and determine where the most suitable place to install your new solar system will be.

How to Care for Home Solar Panels

Taking proper care of your home solar panels is necessary if you want to keep them working properly for as long as possible. Here are some go-to tips to help you effectively maintain your solar panels:

  • Regular Cleaning: Over time, dirt, dust, leaves, or debris may accumulate on the surface of your home solar panels. Keep them clean with a soft brush or sponge with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, as these can damage your panels.
  • Monitor for Shading: Regularly check your panels to see if any brush, vegetation, or objects are casting shade or shadows. Even partial shade can impact your energy production. Trim any overhanging branches or remove any obstructions that might be blocking sunlight from reaching your home solar panels.
  • Inspect for Damage: You should get into the habit of periodically inspecting your solar panels for any signs of damage. Check for cracks, loose connections, or water leakage. If you notice any issues, contact POCO Solar Energy, Inc. We can act promptly to assess and repair the damage.
  • Check Inverter Performance: Your solar system’s inverter is a crucial component that should always be working properly. Monitor its performance regularly to check for any error messages or unusual behavior. Our team can provide additional insight if necessary.
  • Monitor Energy Production: When we install your home solar panels, we will also show you how to check the monitoring system. Keep regular track of your system’s energy production; if you notice any significant drops in performance that you can’t explain, you can take steps to address them.
  • Regular Maintenance: Scheduling periodic maintenance visits with our professionals can help put your mind at ease and keep your system functioning optimally for years to come. We can thoroughly inspect your system, clean the panels, and ensure all components are working as expected.
