Common Solar Panel Service Questions

You can rinse your solar panels in some cases. For example, periodically rinsing your solar panels can remove light debris if you live in an agricultural or dusty area. Light dust and dirt won’t affect efficiency much, but they can build up and mix with other debris like animal droppings, leaves, and small sticks. 

DIY is not recommended due to safety risks. Professional services ensure proper diagnostics and warranty compliance.

In most cases, installing solar panels will not void your roof warranty. To keep roof warranties intact, check your written warranty or call the manufacturer to ask about clauses regarding roof penetrations. You can also protect yourself by getting written approval or a modified warranty that specifically allows the solar installation type you’re planning. Then, hire a professional solar installer that follows roofing manufacturer instructions and protects the roof during installation.

Installing solar panels involves drilling small holes in your roof to secure the solar panel mounting brackets. These brackets hold the solar panels in place and must withstand strong weather conditions so they’re secured into your roof. However, holes and screws are sealed to prevent leaking and further damage.

Solar panel removal and reinstallation are often more affordable than purchasing a brand-new solar energy system, depending on whether you qualify for a tax credit. You can expect to spend $200 to $500 per panel on removal, with some contractors charging an additional $500 base fee. Some companies have a $3,000 minimum for the job.
