3.3 Preventive Maintenance and Service

Obstructions

Obstructions (including tree branches) must not shade the solar panel(s). Check for and

Solar panels can get very hot when the sun is out. It is advisable to clean solar
panels during the early morning hours.

1.

Using a non-streaking window cleaner and a soft cloth, thoroughly wipe down
the solar panel(s) to remove any dirt and grime that may have accumulate. A
plastic scraper may also be needed for removing bird droppings.

2.

Dry the solar panel(s) with a soft clean cloth.

3.

Repeat Steps 1 and 2, if necessary, until all dirt and grime have been removed.
