Your solar panels should last 25 years or more. But if you have a solar inverter, you need to replace this after around 12 years. Some inverters have online monitoring functions and can warn you by email if the system fails
A typical system usually covers between 10 to 20m2 of roof surface area, using between six and 12 panels.
The ideal place to install solar panels is on a sloping roof. If you can’t do that, you can also install solar panels on top of flat roofs, out buildings and sheds and in your garden.
Solar panels require very little maintenance. The main thing is to keep nearby trees well-trimmed to minimise shading where possible.
In the UK, rain will clean your panels if they’re tilted at 15 degrees or more. Debris is more likely to build up if you have ground-mounted panels, or if you live in an area with more dust in the air. In these cases, you might need to have the panels cleaned occasionally.
