One of the biggest advantages of solar PV is its simplicity: no moving parts, minimal wear, and very few maintenance demands. However, like any commercial asset, periodic attention is key to ensuring optimal performance over the full system lifespan.
Typical Maintenance Items:
| Task | Frequency | Responsibility |
| Inverter Inspection | Annual | Owner or Melink Solar O&M team |
| System Check (visual + electrical) | Annual | Owner or Melink Solar |
| Inverter Replacement | Every 10–15 years | Owner (planned capital expense) |
| Panel Cleaning | Optional/as needed | Owner or 3rd-party contractor |
| Monitoring Review | Ongoing | Owner or Melink Solar (if enrolled) |
In most climates, rainfall is sufficient to clean panels. However, sites near highways, agriculture, or heavy pollen may benefit from occasional manual cleaning.
Melink Solar offers optional O&M service plans to help ensure your system stays safe, clean, and producing at its full potential.
