Weathering the Storm: Keep your Solar Panels Safe After a Storm with Mario Castillo Electric

Built for Durability, But Not Invincible
Solar panels are designed to be tough, but severe weather can still cause problems. High winds, hail, and heavy rain may leave behind cracks, loosened mounts, or water intrusion that isn’t always visible from the ground. Even minor damage can reduce efficiency or create electrical risks over time. That is why it is important to partner with Mario Castillo Electric for ongoing maintenance and updates to your solar systems. We offer Solar Care Packages for homes as well as ongoing Clean Energy Plans to best support your renewable energy investment.
Why Inspections Are Essential
After a storm, a full evaluation of the system is critical. It’s not just the panels that need attention, it’s also the racking, the wiring, and the inverters that should be checked. Be aware of signs such as a sudden drop in your system’s output that could signal hidden damage has occurred and requires professional attention.
Risks of DIY Repairs
While it may be tempting to assess or repair the system on your own, storm damage should always be handled by a professional. Solar and electrical systems carry serious safety risks. The last thing anyone wants is to fall off a roof, but did you know that unlicensed work can void warranties or insurance claims? Professional inspections ensure that issues are identified safely and accurately.
