One of the biggest advantages of solar PV is its simplicity: Solar modules have 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.
