Solar Farm Grounds Maintenance

[su_row][su_column size=”1/2″ center=”no” class=””]
Solar panels function by allowing light into the solar cells. The more light that hits a panel, the more power it will generate. Any obstruction either on or near the panels can adversely affect the panel’s ability to perform efficiently. It is important to have a clean, unobstructed area around the solar panels in order to protect and maintain the efficiency of your solar farm.

Fields containing solar farms must be maintained through the use of a well-planned solar farm grounds maintenance strategy. If not, plants can grow high to overlook the panels and blow debris onto them thus reducing electrical output.
