Once we have our photovoltaic installation working, the question arises of what is the necessary maintenance?, especially in regions such as Lanzarote, where suspended dust is common.

The correct one Solar panel maintenance in Lanzarote is essential to ensure that they continue to operate at full capacity.

In the Canary Islands, airborne dust can reduce the efficiency of solar panels. If your panels are in the garden or in an accessible area, you can use a hose to remove any accumulated mud due to dew and dust. 🧼💧

However, when the panels are located in hard-to-reach places, such as the roof, it can be more complicated.

En estos casos, te recomendamos 3 enfoques:

Fixed date for cleaning

Establish a regular schedule, depending on the time of year and weather conditions.

You will need to hire a maintenance professional (no special training required) to come up with a ladder, water, or a hose connected to a water supply.

Performance Monitoring:

Use the Huawei FUSION SOLAR photovoltaic installation monitoring app. We will teach you how to use it so that you can obtain the necessary measurements and information.

If you notice a decrease in performance compared to when the panels were first installed or after a rain, they probably need cleaning. 📊🔧

Adjustment of anchors and fixings

We include in the assessment of your installation a section intended to review the tightening of the metal structures and the fixing staples of the panels.

Why?, because with the wind in Lanzarote the panels are cimbred and vibrate by the constant wind in Lanzarote, causing the screws and nuts to loosen over time.

It is important to keep an eye on your system's performance. When your panels are clean, you will notice increased energy production.

But, if you see that the production decreases significantly, it is a sign that it is time to clean them. This will ensure that the panels operate at their maximum capacity. ☀️🔋

Special promotion for installation of solar panels in Lanzarote Single family homes

If you need a company to install solar panels on the island of Lanzarote, in order to IMPROVE THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY of your home here you have your place of trust.

Our company specialises in the installation of solar energy systems for both single-family homes and collective self-consumption projects

The installation of solar panels is an excellent option to improve the energy rating of your home and reduce the electricity bill.

In this guide, we show you a practical example of how the installation of a photovoltaic system was carried out in a single-family house in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote.

Features of the installation

The project consisted of the installation of 6 solar panels of 580W peak each, totalling 3,480W of installed capacity.

These panels were mounted on the roof of the house, on prefabricated concrete blocks with an inclination of 10 degrees, which ensures optimal capture of solar radiation in this area of Lanzarote.

The inverter, the heart of the installation

For the conversion of solar energy into useable electrical energy, a 5000W Huawei SUN 2000 5KTL inverter was used, a key component that allows the generated energy to be compatible with the house's power grid.

This investor also manages the compensation of surpluses, which means that the owner can sell unused energy to Endesa's electricity grid.

Installation process

The installation process was fast and efficient, carried out over 3 days including the installation, commissioning and configuration of the control app and security checks of the photovoltaic production.

The key steps are described below:

Previous study: 

An analysis of the electricity consumption of the house and the space available on the roof was carried out to determine the feasibility of the project and the number of panels necessary to lead to the greatest possible savings.

We have also taken into account the current configuration of housing and its consumption as well as future extensions to maximise the consumption demand of housing

System design:

The arrangement of the panels was planned according to the aesthetic-practical preferences of the owners and the appropriate components were selected to maximise the efficiency of the system as well as its long-term safety.

This study is delivered free of charge and prior to the preparation of the budget of the installation and its procedures. In this way we inform the client of the different possibilities before deciding on a company

Physical installation:

First we installed the inverter on the roof, then we did the wiring to the main panel and installation of the smart metre in the panel.

Later the DC fuses, then we place the blocks to the corresponding measures according to the previous design. Finally, the panels were installed and connected to the inverter.

Connection and commissioning:

The system was connected to the electrical network of the house and tests were carried out to ensure its correct operation and we checked if the production fits the peak power of the panels

Huawei's Fusion solar app was configured, which serves to monitor the installation and its productivity in real time, and the customer was explained how to use it.

The installation of this solar panel system in Playa Blanca not only improves the energy rating of the house, but also offers numerous additional benefits:

Savings on the electricity bill:

Thanks to the solar energy generated, housing significantly reduces its dependence on the electricity grid, which translates into lower energy costs.

The energy not consumed is poured into the electricity grid, generating an economic compensation that helps to amortise the investment in a shorter time.

Increase in property value

Homes with solar installations usually have a higher energy rating, which increases their value in the real estate market.

Not to mention that if the house is intended for holiday rental, it will be necessary to improve the energy rating in order to continue exercising its activity

Carbon footprint reduction and energy efficiency certificate

By using solar energy, the house reduces its environmental impact, so the energy efficiency certificate would be improved from category G to category A or B depending on the case.

Soon it will be a requirement for existing vacation rental homes to be able to continue exercising their activity

Our company expands electrical installation in Lanzarote, in an optics that had saturated the electrical panel

On many occasions, a local, with the passage of time, expands the circuits by installing new machinery, so it is important to make reforms that avoid the saturation of the electrical panel and avoid problems all types.

In this type of action in which the premises are in use, it is important carry out coordination con la propiedad para, que los elementos que actualmente tienen energía se queden sin servicio for the shortest time possible.

It can also happen that, in addition to the aforementioned, we start from the base of a saturated installation of origin.

Panels of few dimensions, which go to the limit in space for their protections and wiring. Bridges made with cables, incorrect dimensions and labeling failures. incorrect dimensions and mislabeling.

Our company makes electrical panels following standards of quality, order and aesthetics. quality, order and aesthetics.

How do we solve the problem?

The electrical panel is very important in an electrical installation... in fact is the core. It is for this reason that it has to be clearly labeling, organized, and with technical consistency.

In this example that you can see in the video, we have an initial starting point, and at the end how the painting will look.

One of the elements that provide greater clarity and technical security is an installation of approved combs in the upper part of the protections to provide a flawless connection, and bring clarity to the whole. 

an electrical panel completely crammed with wires already in itself, that it also has the classic cables above the protections to jump from one to another, attached to a scant space of the original frame, make the electrical panel a place where look for a fault, perform maintenance, or make a expansion of facilities, it becomes a handicap.

Legal aspect

Regarding the legal aspect (issuance of an installation certificate), in this particular case, as the client does not increase the power, and do not make a major change (more than 50% of the installation), el cliente no está obligado a realizar un  certificado.

Making protection changes for the same ones, but new ones, to be installed and provide more space for the panel, and expanding a couple of circuits to create more subdivision of circuits is not enough to force the client to carry out a CAI. it is not enough to force the client to carry out a CAI.
