Get to know about wall-mounted solar panel

Are wall-mounted solar panels easy to maintain？

Wall-mounted solar panel systems are easier to maintain than roof or ground-mounted solar panels in terms of cleaning. Build-up of debris, snow, and more are almost never an issue since rain washes any dirt away, and gravity keeps leaves and more from piling up. This leads to an easier cleaning routine.  

Additionally, wall-mounted systems are easier to see and don’t require you to scale tall, sloped roofs to assess their condition. Climbing onto a roof is a burdensome task for many solar panel system owners, and often risky, too. Wall-mounted panels provide the benefit of easier visual access to stay up-to-date on any needed cleaning or maintenance work.

However, hired professionals such as technicians usually need to construct scaffolding from the top of a wall-mounted system if a breakdown or malfunction occurs. Replacing or trouble-shooting wall-mounted panels is more difficult than with ground or roof systems. 

Do wall-mounted solar panel systems produce less electricity?

Wall-mounted solar panels produce less energy than roof and ground-mounted solar panels depending on where you live. In general, wall-mounted solar panels generate more electricity during the winter months than they do in the summer. This is because the sun is lower in the sky, allowing more direct sunlight to hit wall-mounted panel angles. 

Roof and ground-mounted solar panels produce more energy than wall mounts in the summer since the sun is higher in the sky. This causes more direct sunlight to fall on slightly sloped solar panels throughout the day (rather than highly sloped vertical ones).
