How we can help you with solar system repairs in Adelaide
If you have noticed an issue with your solar panels, contact DQ Electrical and Solar. We will book a date and inform you of the inspection/call-out fee.

On the day we will inspect the solar system and identify the fault. We will then discuss with you the path forward.

In case of the need for spare parts not covered by warranties, we will give you a repair cost estimate before we proceed.

Sometimes, in the case of older systems, small capacity PV systems or extremely poor-quality component systems (cheap solar), the repair is not economically viable, and in this instance, a system replacement might be recommended.

Cleaning Solar Panels

Cleaning or inspecting solar panels is really a job for the professionals because of the system’s complexity, and the potential danger involved in roof work.

Our specialist teams prefer partly cloudy days, especially for cleaning work, because the cleaning water evaporates quickly and can stain the panels in sunny weather.

To begin, they use a soft brush to remove the dust that has accumulated on the panels.

The professional then will gently clean the panels with clean water and a sponge in circular motions, avoiding pressure on the panel, which in extreme cases could lead to micro-cracks in the panel cells.

DQ staff when cleaning panels will always avoid using harsh detergents, chemicals, or abrasive materials like steel wool because they can leave scratches and reduce the system’s efficiency.

Then professionals clean the panel with a dry, soft cloth to ensure that no minerals settle and cause damage to the panels.

Finally, once the unit is completely dry, they turn the solar panel system back on.

Long term solar system health via output monitoring
Many problems with solar panel effectiveness are related to power generation, which is why DQ Electrical and Solar suggests monitoring the output of your system.

If your electricity consumption has remained unchanged and you find yourself purchasing more electricity from the grid, we recommend you schedule a maintenance inspection to determine what is causing the decreased performance.

Solar inverters usually also have monitor options, so it will be worthwhile to compare annual outputs in kWh of electricity generated, to see if there is a marked reduction year by year.

A decrease in output from your solar system
This could be due to vegetation growth near the solar system throwing shadows over the panels in the early or late hours of the day.

Another reason for decreased solar system performance could be a faster degradation of the panels than manufacturer specifications or delamination of solar panels.

Could indicate inverter issues, meaning the whole system is down, so you lose valuable renewable electricity generation.

Sometimes customers ask DQ for a system check after they got an unusually high electricity bill only to realise their solar power system has been down for more than a few months.

One golden rule about solar system maintenance
Get a solid and reliable monitor solution and check it regularly.

There are also safety devices such as fuses, which are exposed to wind, rain, and hot sunlight all day. They can be subject to deterioration and failure.

Regular maintenance will ensure that your solar panel system operates safely, correctly, and efficiently.
