Solar care plan
Yearly inspection, panel clean, inverter log and output check, and priority call-outs.
Signs your system needs a check
- Generation is lower than in previous years, or lower than the installer's estimate
- The inverter shows a fault light, error code or nothing at all
- The monitoring app has stopped updating
- Pigeons nesting under the panels, or a lot of dirt and moss
- Tripping fuse board, or the system has not been checked for several years
What the care plan includes
- A yearly visit: visual inspection, panel clean and electrical checks
- Inverter log and output compared with what the system should produce
- A short written report
- Priority booking if something goes wrong
Repairs and parts are quoted separately, and we always ask before doing any extra work.
Systems by other installers
Many homeowners find their original installer has stopped trading, or bought their system through a council group-buying scheme and now have no local contact. We look after any system, whoever fitted it, and can add a battery to it.
Questions
Do solar panels need cleaning?
Rain keeps them mostly clean, but traffic grime, bird droppings and moss can cut output. A clean every year or two is usually enough.
My inverter has stopped working. What do I do?
Note any error message, then book a fault diagnosis call-out (£135, first hour included). Inverters often last 10–15 years; a replacement starts from £950 fitted.
Do you do pigeon proofing for solar panels?
Yes. We clear nests and mess, then fit pigeon-proofing mesh around the edge of the panels, from £280.
