Protect Your Solar System from Extreme Weather in 2025

Solar Systems Key Steps for Extreme Weather

As extreme weather events become more frequent, it’s essential to ensure your solar energy system is prepared to withstand such conditions. At NC Solar Now, we prioritize the safety and efficiency of your solar installations.

Extreme Weather

Here are key steps to safeguard your solar system against severe weather:

  1. Regular Maintenance and Inspection
  • Scheduled Cleaning: Dirt and debris can reduce the efficiency of your solar panels. It’s advisable to clean your panels at least twice a year to avoid abrasive materials that could damage the panels. Schedule your cleaning today before spots fill up.
  • Professional Inspection: Regular inspections can identify potential issues before they escalate. Our preventative maintenance services include inspecting the roof and array for damage, checking for bird or squirrel issues, and ensuring all electrical connections are secure. Schedule your service today before spots fill up.
  1. Reinforce Structural Integrity
  • Wind Resistance: Solar panels are designed to withstand high winds, typically up to 140 mph, depending on regional building codes. However, ensuring that your system’s racking and mounting are secure is crucial. Regular checks can prevent panels from dislodging during storms.  Schedule your service today before spots fill up.
  • Trim Surrounding Vegetation: Overhanging branches can pose a threat during storms. Trimming trees around your installation minimizes the risk of damage from falling limbs.
  1. Invest in Battery Storage
  • Integrating battery storage with your solar system ensures a continuous power supply during grid outages caused by extreme weather. Batteries store excess solar energy, providing resilience and independence from the main grid. Get a battery storage quote today.
  1. Understand Insurance and Warranties
  • Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover rooftop solar systems. However, it’s prudent to confirm that your policy reflects the added value of your solar installation. Additionally, familiarize yourself with the manufacturer’s warranty to understand coverage specifics.
  1. Stay Informed and Proactive
  • Monitor Weather Updates: Staying informed about upcoming severe weather allows you to take necessary precautions, such as temporarily shutting down the system if recommended.
  • Emergency Preparedness: Having a plan in place ensures safety and minimizes potential damage to your system.

By taking these proactive measures, you can enhance the resilience of your solar energy system against extreme weather events. At NC Solar Now, we’re committed to supporting you in maintaining a durable and efficient solar installation.
