It’s been about a year since I put solar on my house and there has been some discussion recently about the value of residential solar O&M.

So my next step is to figure out a way to clean my panels (and troubleshoot the two underperforming panels). Solar is my entire career, so this should be easy for me but imagine how this impacts the everyday homeowner. O&M is crucial and is surely more than 20 years of repairs…
