Why is photovoltaic maintenance essential?
Although solar panels are designed to withstand external factors, dust, plant debris, and even pollution can reduce their efficiency over time. Here’s why professional annual maintenance is essential:
Maximizing performance
Clean and well-maintained solar panels capture more light, ensuring optimal energy production. Annual cleaning is particularly important to boost performance in areas exposed to dust or vegetation.
Extending lifespan
Regular maintenance helps detect small anomalies before they become problematic: loose fastenings, overheating points, or faulty connections. The result: your solar panels remain efficient over time, sometimes lasting more than 30 years.
Securing the installation
A poorly maintained photovoltaic installation can pose electrical risks or overheating issues. Our thorough inspections – remote supervision, on-site electrical and thermographic checks – guarantee the long-term safety and reliability of your system.
Preventing breakdowns
Unexpected failures can be costly to repair and cause production losses. With our maintenance and monitoring program, issues are anticipated and corrected before they impact your installation. You benefit from proactive oversight for stable and profitable performance.

5 questions / answers to learn more about solar panel maintenance
How often should I maintain my solar panels?
To extend the lifespan of your solar panels and optimize their efficiency, it is recommended to check their condition regularly and also carry out a full professional cleaning once a year.
How to clean a solar panel without damaging it?
To clean your solar panels effectively and safely, follow these tips:
- Choose the right time, early in the morning or late in the evening, to avoid thermal shock.
- Use clean water to remove dust and dirt.
- Opt for a soft brush or a non-abrasive cloth to avoid scratching the surface.
- Avoid chemical products that could damage the coating.
- Ensure your safety by using proper equipment when panels are installed on the roof.
What mistakes should be avoided when maintaining your panels?
Here are the most common mistakes to avoid:
- Using aggressive chemical products
- Cleaning under direct sunlight
- Using high-pressure water jets or hard brushes
- Neglecting additional professional inspections
Is it better to hire a professional or can the maintenance be done by yourself?
Hiring a professional for solar panel maintenance is generally preferable. A certified installer has the proper tools and equipment to carry out deep cleaning without risking damage to the panels. They can also check the entire installation to detect potential malfunctions or signs of wear (micro-cracks, inverter issues, electrical connections, etc.).
That being said, for simple and regular cleanings, you can do it yourself as long as you follow best practices: use clean water and a soft brush, and don’t forget safety equipment when working at heights.
What are the costs associated with solar panel maintenance?
For professional cleaning and a complete annual inspection, Edmond Solutions maintenance contracts start at 295 € and vary depending on the size of your installation. These costs include the annual inspection, remote monitoring, and repairs if needed — essential interventions to ensure optimal performance of your solar panels.
