Providers of green energy for your home
Why do your solar panels need maintaining?
To ensure optimal performance and efficiency, solar panels need regular maintenance. Over time, solar panels can accumulate dust, dirt, and debris, which can reduce their efficiency and output. In addition, weather conditions such as hail, snow, and high winds can cause physical damage to the panels.
Solar maintenance services can help address these issues and ensure that the panels operate at their full capacity. These maintenance services can include cleaning the panels, inspecting for damage or wear, testing the electrical components, and optimising the system for maximum efficiency.

Inverter replacement service
Inverters are arguably the most important component of your Solar Panel System. This is because this is the part in which transfers the direct current into the alternating current.
The AC Current is essentially what powers your home appliances, thanks to the National Grid. As a result, if you don’t have any inverters or if you have a faulty inverter you won’t be able to power your home. There is no other straightforward way of saying that solar inverter replacement services are so crucial to get right.

Bird proofing
Pigeons, among other birds, can cause disturbance and leave a mess behind. But, they can also cause significant damage to your overall solar PV system when they nest underneath it. To prevent this, it’s crucial to bird proof your solar panels.
Bird proofing your solar panels ensures that pigeons cannot nest underneath them, without affecting the panels’ warranty.

- Removal of any dead pigeons, nests, debris
- Stop noise and pest infestation
- Avoid costly repairs
- Maximise your solar performance
What can you expect from the maintenance?
At a minimum, your yearly solar maintenance services should include:
- Cleaning
Over time, dirt, dust, and other debris can accumulate on the surface of solar panels, reducing their efficiency. Cleaning the panels can help to remove this build-up and improve their performance. - Inspections
Regular inspections can help to identify any issues with the panels, such as cracks or other damage, that could impact their efficiency. Inspections may also include checking the electrical connections and wiring to ensure that they are functioning properly. - Repairs
If any issues are identified during the inspection, repairs may be needed to fix the problem. This could involve replacing damaged panels or repairing faulty wiring. - Upgrades
As new technologies and components become available, it may be beneficial to upgrade the solar panels or other components of the system to improve efficiency and performance. - Monitoring
Monitoring the performance of the panels can help to identify any changes in efficiency or output over time, which can be an early indicator of potential issues. This can involve using specialised software or tools to track the output of the system and identify any trends or patterns.

How frequently do you need solar maintenance?
Dirty or poorly maintained solar panels can experience a reduction in efficiency of up to 25%. So, solar panels need an inspection and cleaning at least once a year to ensure they operate at maximum efficiency throughout the year.
Most solar panels come with manufacturer recommended maintenance timeframes. The panel warranty also depends on the panels receiving this recommended maintenance as well.

Elaine Marks.Jedrzej Korczynski2024-09-06All brilliant from beginning to the endchris moore2024-09-06Great job will use againRodney Weaver2024-08-29Great savings and Service I recently added, to my solar panel system batteries and solar boost to my immersion heater. These were installed by Solar Maintenance Solutions. My energy company recently reduced my direct debit with the àim of reducing my credit balance. However, because of the installation my credit balance is still going up! The two friendly installers from SMS did a great job leaving everything working and tidy. I had a minor software fault one weekend which was fixed remotely by lunchtime on Monday. Great! In the dark short days winter. When the panel output is low ĺ expect savings by charging the batteries at night on off peak rates Rodney.Zamy Creams2024-08-26Fantastic service from sms very professional and knowledge we have a commercial business and already had solar and were looking for a battery Andy came and gave us information very knowledgeable no pressure at all and then Jamie and Chris were excellent they completed the job on time and spent ages walking us through the app aswell were very very professional 5/5Tony Craven2024-08-23Andy gave me great advice about adding a battery to my existing system.

Thanks to all at SMSshahid shah2024-08-21Andy from Solar Maintanence came out initially to have a look at a botched Solar System installation which was installed by another company.
