Preventative scheduled inspections
Planned visits at a frequency agreed for your asset, with the array, mounting, cabling, inverters, isolators and enclosures checked and photographed.
Solar panel maintenance,
scheduled and reported.
Planned servicing catches small problems before they turn into lost generation or a safety issue. Every visit includes inspection, thermal imaging, electrical testing and a written report, for systems we installed and systems installed by others.

Preventative care
Preventative care
keeps an asset earning.
Regular visits catch small problems before they turn into lost generation or a safety issue, and give you a written record of the asset’s condition.
Visits happen at a frequency agreed for your asset. The array, mounting, cabling, inverters, isolators and enclosures are checked and photographed, thermal surveys look for heat patterns that point to components needing attention, and we test the DC and AC sides of the system.
We look after commercial rooftops, agricultural sites, schools, warehouses, large-scale solar and existing installations on homes and businesses, whoever fitted them.

one visit.
Thermal imaging
Thermal surveys of panels and connections reveal heat patterns that point to cells, connectors or components needing attention.
Electrical testing
We test the DC and AC sides of the system and compare the results with the previous visit.
Performance reporting
A report after every visit covering condition, findings, recommended actions and how the system is performing against expectations.

questions answered.
What does a maintenance visit include?
An inspection of the panels, mounting, cabling, inverters, isolators and enclosures, thermal imaging of panels and connections, testing of the DC and AC sides, and a written report covering condition, findings and recommended actions.
How often should solar panels be serviced?
It depends on the size, type and location of the system. We agree a visit frequency for your asset, and monitoring between visits shows whether anything needs attention sooner.
Do you maintain systems installed by other companies?
Yes. We provide O&M for solar PV systems of all sizes, whoever originally installed them. We record the condition of the system before any work begins.
How do I know my system is underperforming?
Warning signs include an inverter fault or error message and lower generation than you would expect for the time of year. Our electrical testing compares results with the previous visit, and monitoring compares actual generation with expected output.
Is solar panel cleaning worth it?
Soiling reduces the light reaching the cells, so heavily soiled panels generate less. The inspection shows whether soiling is affecting your system, and cleaning can be added to the same visit if it is.
Can cleaning be done on the same visit?
Yes. Mechanical cleaning can be scheduled on its own or combined with an inspection visit.
What happens if a visit finds a fault?
The report sets out recommended actions, and fault finding and repairs are part of our fault response service.
Small checks now,
fewer faults later.
