Castillo Engineering has over 25 years of solar and storage expertise, with 1,500 solar and energy storage projects completed and counting. In this series, we will share a new tip from our team every month. November's Solar Design Tip of the Month is: Plan PV module degradation activities. We understand the importance of maintaining your solar energy systems at their peak performance. Unfortunately, there are multiple cases when module quality issues arise, and the original manufacturer is no longer available to provide support. To avoid interruptions, we recommend regular assessments and proactive measures to mitigate these challenges. Questions?
