Feed-in tariffs were a huge incentive for installing #solarPV systems, but many were installed too quickly to meet demand & lacked necessary care & attention to detail. Most insurers require rooftop #solar systems to be tested annually to mitigate risks - inspection ensures your safety at all times.

Chart: See how solar is booming globally
The world installed 64% more solar in the first half of this year than it did in the first half of last year. The driving force? China.

Solar capacity is expected to triple based on new projects in the pipeline.
Total global solar capacity, including all projects in construction and planned, is expected to reach almost 3 terawatts, with 80% concentrated in just 15 countries.

The rain can clean off a lot of dirt, but #solar panels installed in a landscape orientation, with a pitch less than 30° usually need a little help with cleaning. At your annual system inspection, have the panels inspected to see if they need cleaning. If in doubt, get a drone up and take a look!

Why should you choose an alternative O&M specialist, other than your original installer, to check your installation?
It’s a bit like asking your installer to check their own homework, it makes sense to get another specialist to check for safety & efficiency. It’s amazing what they may find. #solarPV

Shading negatively affects #solarPV output. If one panel in a “string” is shaded, it reduces the output of the whole string, like a clog in a water pipe, restricting the flow of #electricity through the system & reducing the power generated. In worst-case scenarios, it can lead to panel damage.

If a #solar cell is covered by heavy soiling for any length of time (usually caused by birds or lichen), all the energy produced by the cells leading into it get dissipated into the covered cell, causing it to heat up, sometimes with pretty disastrous consequences. This is called a hotspot.
