Which Other Parts of a Solar System Need Maintained?
Severe weather, including hail and debris-carrying wind, can also cause damage to solar panels, leaving large cracks in the tempered glass face. Additionally, debris can cause micro scratches that reduce a solar panel’s efficiency over time by preventing sunlight from shining directly onto the cells. If a solar panel is visibly damaged even from the ground, it needs to be replaced to restore the system’s efficiency. Other parts of the system that may need repair or replacement include but are not limited to:
- The inverter
- Battery banks
- Mounting racks
- Power meter
How do micro cracks effect solar panels?
Each solar panel on your house is made of tiny silicon cells that are all connected together. This extremely thin wafer material made for the cells is flexible and strong, but it is prone to cracking from severe stress, especially if not installed properly.
- Microcracks can expand & contract w/ weather
- Water penetration can cause solar cells to fail
- Degrade ability to store energy on the panel
- Cracked panels will not absorb light efficiently
