Solar panels are designed to be low-maintenance, but that doesn’t mean they’re maintenance-free. Just like any long-term investment, your solar system needs occasional care to perform at its best. At J and G Solar Maintenance, we help homeowners and businesses spot the warning signs early—before small issues become big problems.
Here are five clear signs your solar panels may need professional attention:
1. You’ve Noticed a Drop in Energy Output
If your electricity bills are creeping up or your monitoring system shows a dip in production, your panels could be underperforming. Common causes include dirt build-up, faulty wiring, or shading issues. A professional solar maintenance check can quickly diagnose the problem.
What to do:
Book a full system inspection and electrical test with J and G Solar Maintenance to pinpoint the issue and restore efficiency.
2. Your Panels Look Dirty or Dull
Dust, bird droppings, moss, or pollution can block sunlight from reaching the photovoltaic cells. Over time, even a thin layer of grime can reduce efficiency by 10–20% or more.
What to do:
Schedule a solar panel cleaning service. At J and G, we use eco-friendly, non-abrasive tools to safely restore your panels’ performance.
3. You Haven’t Had a Check-Up in Years
If your panels haven’t been professionally checked in over two years, it’s time. Components degrade slowly, but issues like loose connections, corrosion, or inverter faults often go unnoticed until they affect performance.
What to do:
Consider our 2-year or 5-year solar maintenance plans—they include regular inspections, cleaning, and 24/7 call-outs for peace of mind.
4. You’ve Been Visited by Pushy “Health Check” Salesmen
If you’ve been approached by someone offering a “free solar check” but walked away with a sales pitch instead, you’re not alone. We hear this story often.
What to do:
Call a trusted local specialist like J and G Solar Maintenance—we provide honest service with no pressure and no upselling. If it’s not broken, we won’t try to fix it.
5. You See Visible Damage or Hear Unusual Sounds
Cracks in the glass, burn marks, frayed wires, or odd humming sounds from the inverter are all signs of a deeper issue that should be addressed quickly to avoid electrical hazards or system failure.
What to do:
Contact our team for a prompt inspection and repair—we offer fast response times and 24-hour call-out support for all maintenance plan customers.
Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late
Regular solar panel maintenance keeps your system running safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively. Whether you need a one-off clean or a full long-term care plan, J and G Solar Maintenance is here to help.
