Maintenance of the installation

The next3 does not require any particular maintenance other than the standard O&M advised for stationary energy systems. Check with the local regulation if any further activities are required. The general preventive O&M activities advised to do regularly are:

Check that the venting is not obstructed by objects or dirt.
Check the connections (tightening, general condition).

For the rest of the energy system, we can advise the following activities:

Check with the battery manufacturer for specific advice on battery maintenance, depending on battery technology and setup.
Clean regularly you PV panels to optimize the production. Check the general status of the modules, the cabling and look for potential shadows.

The monitoring/datalogging of the next3 will help you to understand what happens in the system and anticipate potential issues before they may arise.
