An Arizonan’s Guide to Solar Panel Care

Arizona may be called the “Grand Canyon State,” but it might be even more famous for its sunshine. From summer temperatures in the 100s to ASU’s mascot, the sun plays an important role for every Arizona resident. One of the biggest perks of having so much sunlight is being able to take advantage of it with solar panels. If you’re thinking of getting solar panels, these care tips can help:

Monitor Sunlight

Your solar panels should be placed in a spot where they will get as much sunlight for as long as possible. But over time, tree growth can decrease the amount of sunlight your panels get. Keep an eye on any trees around the space and trim them as needed. This will help ensure that your panels get enough sunlight so they are able to provide the most power.

Clean Panels as Needed

Rain helps remove dirt and other debris from your solar panels, but you’ll still want to inspect them regularly to see how dirty they are. Whenever necessary, use a solar panel cleaning kit to clean away any dirt or other residue that builds up on panels.

Keep Pigeons Away

You’re not the only one who will love your new solar panels—pigeons will probably love them, too. Solar panels provide an attractive place for pigeons to make their nests. These items harness the power of the sun, but for pigeons, they offer plenty of shade to help them stay cool. These rooftop additions also make it much easier for pigeons to hide from predators. This is why it’s important to work with a pigeon removal company as soon as possible. These professionals will know how to keep pigeons away from your new investment. If pigeons do ever start nesting on your solar panels, then the pigeon company will know how to properly get rid of them and protect your solar panels from damage.
