Solar energy systems require periodic inspections and routine maintenance to keep them operating efficiently. Also, from time to time, components may need repair or replacement. You should also take steps to prevent scaling, corrosion, and freezing.

You might be able to handle some of the inspections and maintenance tasks on your own, but others may require a qualified technician. Ask for a cost estimate in writing before having any work done. For some systems, it may be more cost effective to replace, shut off, or remove the solar system than to have it repaired.

PERIODIC INSPECTION LIST
Here are some suggested inspections of solar system components. Also read your owner’s manual for a suggested maintenance schedule.

  1. Collector shading
  2. Collector soiling
  3. Collector glazing and seals
  4. Plumbing, ductwork, and wiring connections
  5. Piping, duct, and wiring insulation
  6. Roof penetrations
  7. Support structures
  8. Pressure relief valve (on liquid solar heating collectors)
  9. Dampers (in solar air heating systems)
  10. Pumps or blowers
  11. Heat transfer fluids
  12. Storage systems

PREVENTING SCALING AND CORROSION
Two major factors affecting the performance of properly sited and installed solar water heating systems include scaling (in liquid or hydronic-based systems) and corrosion (in hydronic and air systems).

  1. SCALING
  2. CORROSION
  3. FREEZE PROTECTION
  4. USING AN ANTIFREEZE SOLUTION
  5. DRAINING THE COLLECTOR AND PIPING
