Why Maintain Your Solar PV System?

Solar PV maintenance is crucial for performance, energy efficiency and cost savings. Investing in a maintenance package or team will mean you will benefit from the following.

Optimal Performance

Regular maintenance ensures that your solar PV system operates at peak efficiency, maximising energy production and reducing energy costs over time.

Extended Lifespan

Proper maintenance helps identify and address minor issues before they escalate, prolonging the lifespan of your solar panels and components.

Increased Energy Savings

A well-maintained system generates more electricity, leading to greater savings on your utility bills and maximising your return on investment.

Enhanced Safety

Routine inspections and maintenance reduce the risk of electrical faults or other safety hazards, ensuring a safe operating environment for your property and occupants.

Warranty Compliance

Regular maintenance often fulfils manufacturer warranty requirements, protecting your investment and providing peace of mind.

Environmental Impact

Maintaining peak efficiency means your solar system continues to help reduce carbon emissions and promotes sustainability for a cleaner environment.

Solar PV Maintenance Frequency

How often you have your solar PV system inspected and maintained will vary on a number of factors.

The typical recommendation is that both commercial and residential systems be maintained at least once a year.

Factors that might change this include:

  • Environmental conditions - high dust levels, a coastal area or a high pollution area
  • Whether you have a storage battery
  • Tilt and angle of the panels
  • Surrounding environment - trees and vegetation around and the distance between them
  • Type and age of panels
  • System size and complexity
  • Warranty requirements
  • Monitoring and performance tracking

If you aren’t sure how often your solar PV system should be maintained, get in touch with our experts. After getting an understanding of your system and surroundings, we will be able to help you work out the best frequency and book you in for a maintenance service.

Solar PV Maintenance FAQs

There are a few signs that your solar PV system needs maintaining. These include:

  • A sudden drop in energy production
  • Error messages on the inverter
  • Visible debris or dirt on the panels
  • Alerts from a monitoring system if you have one

If you are experiencing any of these signs, contact us today to book a maintenance appointment.

Without maintenance, your panels may accumulate dirt and debris, reducing their efficiency and power output.

Maintenance ensures each component is checked regularly, so any minor problems are caught and repaired before they cause bigger, more expensive problems. Over time, lack of maintenance can lead to more costly repairs, especially if components like inverters or wiring degrade.

While rain can help remove some dirt, it usually doesn’t clear off all grime, pollen, or bird droppings. In most cases, occasional professional cleaning ensures the panels remain as efficient as possible.

Cleaning can be part of an annual maintenance service or a one-off service from our team, so get in touch if you think your panels need cleaning.

Solar panels often last 25–30 years with proper maintenance. Inverters and batteries may need replacing sooner, typically every 10–15 years, due to their structure and components.

To know if your solar PV system is performing at its best, you should monitor its actual output compared to the expected output each season.

Monitoring systems can provide real-time data and indicate when panels are underperforming.
