Maintenance of Solar Panel?

We Answered:

I don't know if the guy is right about cells burning out if they are covered. You should look on the Internet for insolation tables for your area to see the effective hours of sunlight. Then guesstimate the percentage of time the panels will be shaded. Those trees may make the solar thing a poor idea.

He is right about the trees reducing you efficiency. If a panel is shaded about 10 percent, its output drops to close to zero.

My panels are five years old, and I have washed them twice. There as been no noticeable dropoff in output.
