Solar system maintenance
How to maintain your solar and battery system including monitoring and cleaning.
Preventing faults
By maintaining your solar system you’re more likely to prevent faults, and ensure your system is operating efficiently and safely.
Solar maintenance schedules
When having your solar installed, ask your accredited installer what state regulations apply to you when it comes to inspections and maintenance. Your installer should also provide you with a schedule of regular maintenance.
If you don't know when your last inspection was, we recommend organising an inspection of your system with a Clean Energy Council-accredited solar panel system installer.
Under the Renewable Energy Target, the Clean Energy Regulator can conduct random inspections of solar systems with small-scale technology certificates. If this happens to you, there’s no cost.
Monitoring your solar system
Beyond regular cleaning and technician health checks, monitoring your system can be a good way to check the health of your solar system and ensure its output is what you expect.
If you have a smart meter, you can check My Account or your AGL app for a feature called Solar Status. Solar Status is a service that monitors your solar system’s performance and helps identify potential issues that could decrease your energy generation and savings. Learn more about Solar Status.
For information on how to check your solar system’s status and performance in the AGL app, visit Using the AGL app.
