Factors like dirty solar panels due to dust, debris, bird droppings, or weather conditions can impact performance. Regular solar panels and inverter maintenance helps prevent system degradation, ensure safety, and lead to optimal efficiency.
If you’ve ever asked, “Do solar panels need maintenance?”, the answer is yes—especially if you want to ensure optimal performance and extend the life of your system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Getting started with solar
Can solar panels be installed on a flat roof?
Absolutely! Electralink offers the option to install a solar panel system on a flat roof. Additionally, if necessary, we can provide advanced solar tilt frames.
What is the typical duration of an installation?
For installations completed properly without any shortcuts:
- 1.5 kW: Approximately 3-4 Hours
- 3 kW: Approximately 5-6 Hours
- 5 kW: Approximately 7-8 Hours
Where should my panels face for optimal efficiency?
Our team of design consultants will create a layout that maximizes efficiency based on your roof’s layout and orientation. Solar power systems are adaptable to roofs facing north, east, or west. Utilizing our advanced solar inverters, our systems can also be distributed across multiple areas of the roof.
What size solar system do I need?
Every business and household will be different with their power requirements. We recommend you talk to one of our solar experts who can tell you what the most suitable system would be. Feel free to also use our simple solar energy calculator which will give you a suitable sys- tem size. A few factors to take into consideration are
- Your current consumption and the way you use electricity –
- Your future needs How many panels will fit on your roof
Do I need planning approval?
No you do not, but if you are part of a strata agreement, you may require approval from the body corporate prior to the solar panels installation.
What happens after I sign up?
What is required of me once I enroll?

Can a solar PV system be used alongside my solar hot water system?
No, a solar PV system operates independently of a solar hot water system. Solar panels generate electricity solely for electrical devices’ usage.
How it works
Will a qualified electrician install my solar system?
Yes, all our solar installers are licensed electricians who are accredited by the Clean Energy Council of Australia for the design and installation of your solar system.
The installation process
Can a solar panel system store the electricity it generates for later use?
When paired with our battery systems, your solar system can indeed store electricity. This stored energy becomes accessible for use during nighttime hours or periods of increased electricity consumption exceeding your solar system’s production capacity.
What occurs with my solar system during the night?
Solar panel systems exclusively generate electricity in the presence of UV light. As nighttime falls, electricity production ceases. During these hours, you will draw required power from the electrical grid network. However, if you have our battery system installed, you can access electricity from this source.
What happens in the event of a power blackout?
During a power blackout, your solar PV system ceases electricity production as a mandatory safety precaution to safeguard individuals working on the grid system. Once power is restored, the ability to generate electricity resumes. (You may need to reset the circuit breaker)
What occurs on cloudy days?
Cloud cover does affect solar panel performance; however, our tier 1 solar modules are engineered to function effectively in low light conditions. If solar panels don’t generate sufficient electricity due to heavy cloud cover, you’ll draw power from the electrical grid to meet your needs.
Why does my solar inverter cease operation at night?
As night falls and UV light diminishes, solar panels cannot generate power for the inverter to convert. Consequently, the solar inverter automatically shuts down during nighttime. Rest assured, it will reactivate when UV light reappears in the morning.
Maintenance
Is maintenance required for the solar system?
Solar systems are nearly maintenance-free. Periodically hosing down the solar panels to remove dirt may be necessary. Additionally, since our panels are typically installed on a tilt, they are self-cleaning when it rains.
