As part of our maintenance programme we carry out the following and the costs of the maintenance are commensurate with the size of your system.

Solar panels have no moving parts, which makes them relatively low maintenance. But if you want to reduce solar panel costs and maintenance over time, you’ll need to look after them. Here are a few things that you should do to keep your panels in tip-top condition:

• Visually assess the pollution and shading of the PV modules.
• Random check of PV mounting structure.
• Random check of DC connectors and DC cabling.
• Assess grounding connection points for corrosion and integrity.
• Inspect the condition of the PV modules for discoloration, delamination and hot spots.
• Take electrical test readings from PV modules, strings.
• Check inverters are running in normal mode and also check fault logs.
• Clean the internal parts of the inverter.
• Asses all warning signs/labels.
• Confirm covers and door locks are in acceptable condition.
• Confirm inverters fans / cooling function is operational.
• Visually asses all fuses, circuit breakers and disconnection devices.
• Check all communication cabling.

Professional’s ideally need to check over the system at least once every 5-10 years. This way, you can keep on top of any nasty financial surprises, whilst making sure that your panels are generating enough power to save money on your bills and that’s where we come in, by subscribing to our maintenance programme you’ll be on our radar and afterwards we’ll produce a report to let you know how your system is still performing.
