Operation and Maintenance

Keep your solar system producing what it should, year after year.

Solar systems are low-maintenance, not no-maintenance. Dust and bird droppings cut output, loose connections and tripped breakers go unnoticed, and an inverter fault can stop generation entirely — often without anyone realising until the next electricity bill arrives.

Our Operation and Maintenance service keeps watch over your system and fixes problems before they cost you. We look after systems of all sizes, from homes to large commercial and industrial plants.

Ideal for

  • Homeowners who want peace of mind
  • Businesses relying on solar to cut costs
  • Owners of large plants with performance targets
  • Systems that seem to be underperforming or haven't been checked in a while

What's included

  • Performance monitoring: We watch generation data to spot drops in output early.
  • Panel cleaning: Removing dust and dirt that block sunlight and reduce output.
  • Preventive inspections: Mounting, cabling, connectors, protection devices and earthing checked on schedule.
  • Inverter & battery checks: Error logs, settings and battery health reviewed.
  • Fault finding & repairs: Problems diagnosed and fixed quickly to restore generation.
  • Performance reports: What your system produced, what we found and what we did.

How it works

  • System review: We inspect your system and its history.
  • Maintenance plan: A schedule matched to your system and site conditions.
  • Scheduled visits: Cleaning, inspections and checks carried out as planned.
  • Monitoring & response: Issues picked up and acted on between visits.
  • Reporting: Clear records of performance and work done.

Benefits

  • Higher energy yield: Clean, healthy systems produce more power.
  • Fewer breakdowns: Small issues are fixed before they become big ones.
  • Longer equipment life: Well-maintained components last longer.
  • Service records: Documented maintenance helps if you ever need to make a warranty claim.

Frequently asked questions

How often should a solar system be serviced?

It depends on the system's size and surroundings — dusty sites need cleaning more often. Most systems benefit from inspections at least once or twice a year. We recommend a schedule after reviewing yours.

My system is producing less than it used to. Can you help?

Yes. Common causes include dirty panels, new shading from trees or buildings, wiring or connection faults and inverter problems. We inspect the system, find the cause and fix it.

Do you offer regular maintenance or one-off visits?

Both. We can set up a regular maintenance schedule or come out for a single inspection or repair.
