Why Solar Maintenance is Critical in Mijas
Mijas receives 6-8 Sahara dust events yearly, reducing solar efficiency by up to 35%. Professional cleaning is essential.
Proximity to sea causes salt deposits that corrode connections and reduce light transmission. Requires specialized cleaning.
Regular maintenance detects issues early: loose cables, hot spots, degradation. Prevents costly failures.

Frequently Asked Questions - Solar Maintenance Mijas
How often should solar panels be cleaned in Mijas?
In Mijas, solar panels should be cleaned 3-4 times per year due to Sahara dust, pollen from surrounding hills, and coastal salt deposits. Properties near golf courses may need more frequent cleaning due to grass clippings and irrigation spray.
What is the cost of solar panel maintenance in Mijas?
Annual solar panel maintenance contracts in Mijas range from €280-450 for residential systems (3-10kW). This includes quarterly cleaning, annual electrical inspection, and performance monitoring. Individual cleaning services cost €80-150 per visit.
Can dirty solar panels damage the system?
While dirt primarily reduces efficiency (up to 35% in Mijas due to dust), prolonged neglect can cause hot spots, delamination, and premature inverter failure. Regular maintenance extends system life by 5-10 years.
Do you provide emergency solar repair services in Mijas?
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency solar repair services throughout Mijas, including La Cala, Mijas Pueblo, and coastal areas. Response time is typically 2-4 hours for urgent issues affecting power supply.
What maintenance is required for battery storage systems?
Battery systems require annual firmware updates, connection checks, ventilation cleaning, and capacity testing. In Mijas' climate, proper cooling system maintenance is crucial for battery longevity.
How much power do dirty solar panels lose in Mijas?
Unmaintained solar panels in Mijas typically lose 20-35% efficiency due to Sahara dust events (6-8 times yearly), pine pollen (spring), and coastal salt. Golf course properties see additional losses from irrigation mineral deposits.
