The panels do require maintenance. If there is dirt/bird poop/bad connection, their energy output goes down. You can measure performance with a Solar Charge Controller (tells you how all of the panels are doing) or a digital multimeter (you can measure one panel at a time). To clean the panels, you can use a mop to spread a soap/water mixture then squeegee it. If you don't feel safe doing that or are willing to spend more money, you can hire a professional.Andrew Polichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14336649235964309069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131767233320425188.post-19622626552222630262015-01-19T07:05:19.823-08:002015-01-19T07:05:19.823-08:00This is a great blog.
