Insurance requirements
Many home insurance policies require evidence of regular professional maintenance for solar systems. Without it, a claim following a fault or fire may be disputed. We can match you to engineers who provide the correct certification and documentation.
Inverter cooling & ventilation
Inverters need space to breathe. Blocked ventilation — from dust, cobwebs, storage items placed too close — causes thermal shutdown and accelerated component failure. Annual checks include clearing ventilation paths, cleaning air intakes, and confirming the installation still meets manufacturer clearance requirements.
Monitoring & proactive maintenance
Your monitoring app is more than a generation counter — it's an early warning system. Annual checks include reviewing historical performance data to identify gradual degradation, string imbalances, and export anomalies before they become visible faults. A system that looks fine on the roof can be silently underperforming for months.
What's included in an annual service
Every engineer in our network follows the same comprehensive checklist. Nothing is skipped.
Panels & mounting
- ✓Visual inspection of all panels — cracks, delamination, discolouration
- ✓Mounting rail and fixing torque check
- ✓Roof penetration and flashing inspection
- ✓Shading assessment — new growth, neighbouring structures
Inverter & electrical
- ✓DC isolator condition and operation
- ✓Inverter ventilation clearance and fan operation
- ✓String voltage and current measurements
- ✓AC connection torque and earthing check
Monitoring & metering
- ✓Generation data review — 12 months of output vs expected
- ✓Export meter and CT clamp accuracy check
- ✓SEG / FIT export reading verification
- ✓Monitoring app connectivity and data accuracy
Battery (if fitted)
- ✓State of charge behaviour review
- ✓BMS firmware version and update check
- ✓Usable capacity vs rated capacity comparison
- ✓Charge/discharge settings optimisation
Certification included: Every annual service includes a written report and service record. This is the documentation your insurer needs to confirm your system is professionally maintained.
