To extend the service life of solar panels, you can start from the following aspects:
First, regular cleaning and maintenance
Keep the surface clean:
The surface of the solar panel should be cleaned regularly to remove dust, bird droppings, fallen leaves and other occlusions. These occlusions can block sunlight and reduce the efficiency of the panels.
Cleaning should be carried out when the light is weak, such as morning or evening, to avoid overheating caused by direct sunlight at noon.
When cleaning should use a soft cloth or sponge, avoid using hard and sharp tools or corrosive solvents, to prevent scratching and corrosion of the solar panel.
Pay attention to clean the surface of the entire panel, especially the corners where dirt is easy to accumulate.
Regular inspection and repair:
Check the solar panel regularly for signs of damage or aging, such as cracks, deformation, loose wiring, etc.
If any problem is found, repair or replace the damaged parts in time.
Regularly check the metal bracket of the solar panel for corrosion, and regularly paint the bracket for anti-corrosion treatment.
Second, optimize the installation environment
Avoid shadow occlusion:
When installing solar panels, you should ensure that you can receive sufficient sunlight for most of the day.
Avoid panels being blocked by buildings, trees, etc., the shadow will cause the current to flow in reverse, which may overheat the panels, thereby shortening their service life.
Reasonable tilt Angle:
Depending on the latitude of the installation site and the Angle of the sun in different seasons of the year, the tilt Angle of the solar panels is adjusted to ensure that the sunlight is received at the best Angle.
Good ventilation:
When installing solar panels, the ventilation conditions around them should be considered to avoid long-term exposure to high temperatures.
Third, reasonable use and protection
Avoid overloading:
Do not overload the use of solar panels, which may cause the panels to overheat, thereby shortening their service life.
Install protective equipment:
In areas such as large sand and hail, protective facilities such as fences or shelters should be considered to protect solar panels from outside damage.
Pay attention to lightning protection grounding:
Solar panels should be equipped with lightning protection grounding devices to prevent lightning damage.
Fourth, choose high-quality products and professional installation
Choose quality products:
When purchasing solar panels, you should choose products produced by regular manufacturers to ensure that their material quality, manufacturing process and performance meet standards.
Professional installation:
The installation of solar panels should be carried out by professionals to ensure that the installation is firm, at a reasonable Angle, and in accordance with safety regulations.
Fifth, regular testing and evaluation
Photoelectric parameter detection:
Regularly check the photoelectric parameters and output power of the solar panel to ensure its normal operation.
Performance evaluation:
According to the test data, the performance of the solar panel is assessed, and potential problems are detected and dealt with in a timely manner.
By implementing the above measures, the service life of solar panels can be effectively extended and its power generation efficiency and economy can be improved.
