As renewable energy becomes increasingly vital in our pursuit of sustainability, solar panels have gained popularity among homeowners and businesses alike. However, like any technology, solar panels can be affected by environmental factors, particularly severe weather events that we see on the Sunshine Coast and Queensland.
After a storm, it’s crucial to assess your solar panel system to ensure its efficiency and safety. Here are several reasons why having your solar panel system checked after a storm is a wise decision.
1. Identify Potential Damage
Strong winds, heavy rains, and hail can all cause physical damage to solar panels.
Cracks, dents, or even a complete dislodgment from their mounts can significantly affect performance and safety of your solar panel system. A professional inspection from Circuit Alert Electrical Solar will help identify any visible or hidden damages that could hinder the system’s efficiency.
2. Safety First
Storms can lead to electrical hazards. If your solar panels sustain damage, there is a risk of electric shock or fire if not addressed immediately.
