Complete Guide to Solar System Maintenance in Pakistan

Solar energy systems are one of the most radical and transformative objects of the 21st century; from their ability to provide clean, green energy to consumers across sectors, to its ability to evolve and adapt to newer technologies and increased energy needs, it’s the humble solar energy system that is positioning itself to become the face of renewable energy in the future. As such, it utilises the most cutting edge and forward looking technology, and all aspects of a solar energy system utilise said technology, whether its solar panels, solar inverters or solar batteries, all are part of this reign of technology.

However, with great power comes great responsibility, and as owners of incredibly powerful and efficient solar energy systems, consumers need to understand that much like everything else today, solar energy solutions are machines, and like every machine, they require upkeep and maintenance. Which not just helps with performance and efficiency, but also keeps your investment in the solar energy system safe. So, in this blog post, we will walk you through the complete guide to solar energy system maintenance in Pakistan, from the occasional aspects to minimal maintenance that needs to be done regularly.

Solar energy solution maintenance: the particulars

For the sake of simplicity and understanding the role that maintenance plays in the functioning of a solar energy system, we will divide solar energy system maintenance in two parts; one is the frequent maintenance, processes of upkeep that need to be done regularly, and the second part, which would allude to maintenance that is done occasionally, but then needs specialised crews and personnel for it to be carried out.

Lets start by looking at the regular maintenance, which, as you might have guessed, can be done by you, the owner of the solar energy solution.

Regular solar energy system maintenance

For the regular maintenance, its as simple as a wipedown. This is what you might have heard, and while it is true, its also incomplete. See, maintenance that needs to be done regularly encompasses so much more than just taking a damp cloth and wiping down the solar panels. It includes a simple check of the wiring; to ensure that the connections aren’t getting loose, and to ensure that any security hazard does not arise from the system. Aside from a wipe down, it also includes general maintenance like cleaning and upkeep, which can be done by anybody really. And it makes it easy for people to experience performance and efficiency throughout time without resorting to much more expensive and complicated processes of upkeep and maintenance, especially if the consumer is located in a place where maintenance might be more frequently required.

Specialised solar energy system maintenance

Specialised solar energy system maintenance alludes to the maintenance and upkeep processes that are much more complex, much more crucial, and more importantly, require specialised staff or personnel to carry out. This is what maintenance means when companies and solution providers talk about maintenance; they are referring to the ‘major maintenance’, like inverter maintenance, solar panel maintenance, battery upkeep and other processes that might be too complex, or too dangerous for consumers to carry out themselves. And the reason is very simple; safety of the consumer, and for the optimal functioning of the system itself. If anybody other than the authorised personnel might attempt to do that, it could result in either grave danger to the person, or to the system itself, which is why, things like inverter maintenance, solar panel repair or maintenance and battery maintenance and technical maintenance is usually left for the authorised personnel.
