Qualified Clean Energy Solar Electricians – We Know How to Get Your Solar Panels Working at Peak Power

When was the last time you had your solar panels looked at by a professional? Solar panel maintenance is really important not only to extend the life of your solar investment but make sure you are saving the most from every bill. If your solar panels aren’t working properly you are paying more than you should.

At Max Power, we are guided by the Australian Government’s Clean Energy Regulator (CER) advice on what should be included in solar panel maintenance as it is more than just a clean of the panels. Our experience as qualified Clean Energy Solar Electricians means we know exactly how solar panels work and exactly how they should be maintained.

To work at maximum efficiency solar panels need to be clean, free of debris, have secure cabling, inverter display working and check that access to the isolator switches hasn’t been impeded. There is more involved but these are some examples of what we check and why it’s more than just a brush and wash of the solar panel.
