Why it matters
A solar panel that isn't maintained is a solar panel that underperforms.
Performance drops off silently
Dirt, shading, and ageing components can quietly cut generation by a noticeable margin each year without any obvious warning sign.
Warranty & insurance compliance
Most manufacturer warranties and building insurance policies expect evidence of regular maintenance on a roof-mounted electrical system.
Inverters are the first thing to fail
The inverter is the hardest-working part of your system. Catching early fault codes protects the panels either side of it.
Electrical safety
A solar PV array carries live DC and AC current on your roof and in your consumer unit, so isolators, cabling and connections need periodic checking.
What's included
Every visit covers the whole system
- Visual inspection of panels, mounting and roof penetrations
- Electrical testing of strings, isolators and connections
- Inverter diagnostics, fault-code history and firmware check
- Panel cleaning to remove dirt, moss and bird debris where accessible
- Performance check against expected generation for your system size
- Check of consumer unit, RCDs and DC/AC isolators
- Written report with photos, findings and clear recommendations
- Advice on monitoring, battery storage and any remedial work needed

Signs your solar panels need attention
Solar PV systems fail quietly. If any of the following apply, it's worth booking a service sooner rather than later.
- Generation looks lower than usual for the time of year
- The inverter display shows an error or fault code
- It has been more than 12 months since the last check
- You can see visible dirt, moss, shading or debris on the panels
- You are selling or remortgaging the property
- Your system is coming to the end of its inverter warranty
How it works
From booking to a system you can trust
Step 1
Book your service
Tell us about your system, its age and any issues, and we will arrange a convenient appointment.
Step 2
Full inspection
Our engineer inspects panels, mounting, wiring, isolators and the inverter, testing performance against expectations.
Step 3
Report & recommendations
You receive a clear written report covering what we found and any remedial work worth considering.
Step 4
Fix & follow-up
If any work is needed, we can quote for it directly, and set you up on an annual plan if you want ongoing peace of mind.
