Do solar panels need a lot of maintenance?

Solar panels are fairly low-maintenance, but they do need occasional attention. A quick wash a couple of times a year and a yearly professional inspection help maintain efficiency. Watch for cracked glass, loose wiring, or hail damage; small fixes cost far less than waiting until output drops. If a panel is badly shattered, replacement—handled by a licensed pro—is often the smarter call.

How often do I need to replace my solar panels?

Most panels last 25 to 50 years, so replacement is rare. Swap them out only when output drops noticeably, the warranty has run its course, or storm damage makes repairs impractical. Track your production data; if efficiency continues to slip even after minor fixes, it’s time to consult a solar installation professional and consider replacing a panel.

Who is responsible for solar panel repairs?

Homeowners are accountable for solar panel repairs unless their system is under a leasing agreement. Warranty coverage may reduce repair expenses for specific components. Warranty protection covers repairs when panels fail due to installation errors or unexplained issues. However, if a unit cracks due to an impact, the homeowner is responsible. Always contact your installer and review your warranty before initiating repairs. Many manufacturers offer warranties ranging from 10 to 20 years. Inverters have a 10-year warranty, panels carry a minimum five-year workmanship warranty, and the overall system is protected for 25 years.

"The previous company I used, which had installed my solar panels, had become totally unreliable. After more than a month I could not get an appointment scheduled to repair a poor connection on pool panels they had previously repaired, so the pool solar was unusable. I submitted a request for a solar repair company on Thursday, was called by Danny of Gulf Coast Solar on Friday, and an appointment was made for Monday. He arrived exactly on time, checked the solar panels and immediately found the bad connection point(s). The solar for the pool was up and running in minutes. He then took time to label the pump equipment parts for me to make it all easier to understand. And since no parts had to be replaced, the charge was a reasonable ?service call? amount Gulf Coast Solar is the company I will rely on for all service on my solar system in future as well as some other electrical and other related repairs my house can benefit from. The company deserves all possible gold stars!"

"Absolutely appalled by the unprofessional manner of this company. We called this company as a second opinion for an issue with our AC. After the first quote we had a general idea of the issue but being naive to this matter we thought it best to get a second opinion. The technician- ISMEAL SAMANO- absolutely tried to take advantage of the fact that only myself was here (female,29) and not my husband. After getting the feeling this was happening - I followed my gut and called my husband to have him speak with the tech directly (all of which was on speaker, I was able to hear everything). This tech spoke of many issues - suggested a whole new AC UNIT, and then casually let my husband know he would be "rinsing off the coil, probably won't do much, but may help for now". At the time of payment, I received a total of $221.30. The original price of the quote was $89. Confused I asked the technician to please explain the additional cost. He seemed lost.. Could only say that "I normally HAVE to charge close to $300 for that rinse service, I dont feel comfortable doing to that you. So I charged you the least I could." - Which was around $130.00 for a rinse... of our water. I made sure to ask if this was proper procedure for their technicians to performs tasks on a unit that cost money to the homeowners, without their knowledge. No reply. Before the technician left, my husband and I made sure to ask what exactly that rinse did, are we able to run the unit now at least? This technician told us yes. Although the technician from days prior from COOL TODAY made sure to tell us to try to leave it off as much as possible due to overheating. Scared of what can happen in that instance I made sure to be clear to ask this technician again that it is safe to keep on. He said yes again, just as the unit shut off and can very audibly hear it attempting to kick back on (causing it to overheat). I pointed this out to him and he attempted to say it was because our thermostat was set to that temperature, that is why it cut off. I immediately went to set it lower to show him that is not the case, that it won't kick back on and stay. But instead, this technician absolutely knew we were skeptical of him and his request for payment and that his "rinse" for $130 did absolutely nothing. He nearly ran out the door. After going through all of this I attempted right away to call customer service to inquire if this is proper procedure for their technicians to do this without homeowner approval. Her response was "No, but it sounds like there may have been things said I don't know about, so wait for 12 hours and well get back to you". Absolutely appalled. I greatly pride myself on my involvement with my community and close-knit relationship with my mom groups online. I am happy I am at least able to spread this awareness so all my other Mama's can avoid being targeted by despicable company. Be safe and aware Mama's, ladies, and everyone without proper knowledge!"

"I had a disaster on my hands when I was standing on my breakfast bar to try to change a recessed light bulb. My foot slipped into the sink. The sink collapsed into the cabinet below and messed up some of the pipes. I got the referral to Phillip's Plumbing from Angi. It was a great experience. Bob who took the call, said Don would be out first thing this morning. Don calmed my nerves from all the nonsense I was hearing from other plumbing companies. Don and Kevin did an awesome job. They were efficient, cleaned up the area, did great work and at a fair price. To top it off Kevin went above and beyond and changed the light bulb?I could not be more pleased❣ I highly recommend Phillip's Plumbing."
