When most people think about solar systems, they undoubtedly think about the shiny glass solar panels up on the roof. Solar panels are, after all, what produce the electricity for us, right?

True, but solar panels produce DC electricity and, conversely — to power your air conditioner, refrigerator, lights, televisions and most everything else in our homes and businesses — we use AC power. Whether it sits on the garage wall, 100 feet from the house on a ground mounted solar system or underneath your solar panels, the inverter is the real “workhorse” of your solar system, faithfully converting DC electricity to AC so we can use it for all the things we love to power in our homes. Our inverters do so much work for us but are oftentimes under appreciated.
Do inverters require maintenance?
The short answer is “not really.” Typically inverters require little to no maintenance; however, being a piece of electronics with fans and a few moving parts, there are a few things that can be done to help keep your inverter in top shape.

For one, cleaning out any vents or other parts that might prevent airflow from getting through your inverter and keeping it cool, is a good idea. Blowing off leaves on or around your solar system can help properly ventilate the area and keep your inverters cool. Also, sometimes after years or decades of faithful solar production, your inverter’s connections can begin to loosen. Having a professional come out and “kick the tires,” check connections, measure critical voltages and keep everything clean is a good way to ensure your inverter will be as useful as it can be for as long as possible.
As a general rule, working on any part of your solar system could be potentially dangerous to you or people around you and could even void the warranty. When in doubt, just find the experts that wil carry out the job perfectly without any damage on solar panels and to the people around.
