Expert Residential Solar Maintenance Services

AES offers Residential O&M packages and one-time visits, but only for systems that we installed.

Residential solar power systems require very little O&M due to having premium monitoring systems that make it easier to detect when there’s an issue. That said, grime will build up on solar panels eventually, which is why we recommend having the solar panels cleaned and the system inspected at least once every 5 years.

Here's what is included in our O&M packages:

  • Cleaning: Scrub the solar panels to remove dirt, dust, leaves, and other debris that may accumulate on the surface. This ensures that sunlight can be efficiently converted into electricity. Cleaning can be done with a hose, soft brush, or specialized solar panel cleaning equipment.
  • Visual Inspections: Inspect your solar panels for any signs of damage or wear and tear, such as cracks, loose connections, squirrel nests, or damaged wiring. Early detection can prevent more significant issues.
  • Trimming Vegetation: Ensure that nearby trees or vegetation don't cast excessive shade on your panels. Make recommendations to prune or remove any foliage that might obstruct sunlight.
  • Monitoring System Performance: Check the online monitoring platform (if enabled) to verify system meets or exceeds its performance expectations.
  • Inverter Maintenance: Check the inverter, a crucial component of the system, for any error codes or issues and perform any manufacturer recommended maintenance.
  • Electrical Connections: Verify all electrical terminations within the system are torqued within specifications.

    "We were completely satisfied with the work AES has done for us."
    Alternative Energy Southeast (AES) did an excellent job installing our 15 panels in one day and cleaned up after themselves... and now we are enjoying days with less than 50% of our power coming from the grid!... We were completely satisfied with the work AES has done for us. AES is an honest, knowledgeable and efficient company that is a pleasure to do business with. Highly recommend them as a choice for a well designed and properly installed solar system.
