There are no moving parts on a typical solar system and so very little maintenance is required. The solar modules require cleaning every few months to ensure that dust is not blocking sunlight from reaching the panel. This can be achieved by rinsing the panels with water; a good rainfall achieves the same goal. Some commercial solar PV systems have tracking systems which enable the solar panels to follow the path of the sun throughout the day (to improve performance). These types of systems need additional, regular mechanical maintenance.
