Winter is coming to an end and with the temperatures of recent times, there is a strong desire to return to its facilities that we had left time for the cold and snow to pass.
Campervan, VR, boat or summer chalet, here are 5 tips for getting your equipment out of hibernation:
- Check the shaded around your system
- Clean your solar panels
- Clean your connectors
- Check the physical condition of your system
- Monitor your system
- Check the shaded around its system:
To begin with, we recommend going outside and doing a general inspection of the surrounding area of your system.
During our absence, trees can be pushed out, debris may have fallen near the solar panels. A complete examination of its environment will make it possible to reduce the risk of shaded over the panels and optimize their energy production efficiency.
- Clean your solar panels
After a winter, dust may have accumulated on its photovoltaic panels, it is good advice to clean them in order to ensure their energy efficiency.
A bit like house windows, dust can prevent the sun from reaching the entire surface of the device.
To clean it, it is recommended to use a non-soft cloth and product non-abrasive cleaner such as tableware soap.
Maintenance recommendations are often provided by the manufacturer inside the user manual. It is very likely to read it before doing the first interview, if only to learn plus about the device you have in your hands.
* Be sure to unplug your devices before cleaning them to avoid the risk of short circuits.
- Clean your connectors
Once the signs are well cleaned, we continue the tour by passing a small wet laundry on the terminals and connectors of its devices. It is that the dirt or that could have accumulated there could cause premature wear on your battery, for example, or other electrical devices on your system.
This preventive maintenance will allow you to make sure that the connections are fixed and that no green-gray has developed.
- Check the physical condition of your equipment
As with the panels, it's good to take a look at your wires and appliances while cleaning them.
The risks are perhaps plus low when it comes to an RV stored in a warehouse than a chalet that was left in the fall, but we are never safe from small rodents who like to gnum wires.
