Those clear skies give your solar panels plenty of work to do, but it takes regular upkeep to capture all that energy effectively. SC Solar provides comprehensive maintenance to combat the effects of Mount Holly’s environment on your panels. We’ll climb up to carefully clean off any dust or dirt and remove debris like leaves or pine needles that might accumulate (especially in our fall season). We also pay attention to what’s happening under your panels – it’s not uncommon for squirrels or birds in Mount Holly to try nesting beneath solar arrays. Our team can install critter guards to keep wildlife out and protect your wiring. Another big factor in the greater Charlotte area is pollen. Each spring, a film of yellow pollen can settle on everything. Without intervention, a layer of pollen will stick to solar panels and not fully rinse off in the rain. This can lead to a noticeable dip in your system’s power output. In fact, we know from regional research that heavy pollen buildup can reduce panel efficiency by up to 15% if left alone. That’s why our Mount Holly maintenance always includes washing the panels to remove pollen and grime. By keeping your solar array pristine, SC Solar makes sure you’re getting the maximum energy (and savings) from the abundant sunshine in Mount Holly.
