Why Annual Solar & Battery Servicing Is Now Essential
Not just good practice, annual servicing is becoming a requirement for insurance compliance and warranty protection.
Modern solar PV and battery systems operate at high DC and AC voltages with sophisticated electronics. Over time, components degrade, connections loosen, and safety devices can fail without any visible signs. An annual service helps:
- Maintain electrical safety
- Reduce fire risk
- Maximise system efficiency
- Identify early signs of failure
- Maintain manufacturer warranties
- Meet insurer maintenance expectations
Many insurance providers now include maintenance and inspection clauses within policy terms, meaning lack of servicing could invalidate claims following an incident.
Why Annual Heat Pump Servicing Is Essential
An air source heat pump is a precision-engineered system that operates year-round like any advanced heating technology, it requires routine professional maintenance to perform efficiently and safely.
DC Cable Degradation & Arcing
Solar DC cables are exposed to UV, heat, and weather year-round. Insulation breakdown or loose connectors can lead to DC arcing, which is a recognised cause of solar-related fires.
RCD & Protection Device Failure
RCDs, RCBOs, and surge protection devices are mechanical and electronic components that degrade over time. Without regular testing, a failed device may not trip when required.
Inverter & Battery Stress
Cooling fans, internal components, and firmware can deteriorate or become outdated, reducing system efficiency and shortening operational lifespan.

What Our Customer Say About Us
EXCELLENT Based on 6 reviews Posted on Philip LongTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alan and the team installed and connected our ground mounted PV system and battery. Having the house run off solar is very satisfying and I would recommend it to anyone, as well as Renew-Able Solutions for the instal. Alan's support post installation has been much appreciated as wellPosted on John McConvilleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alan and the team did a great job advising and installing the best suited battery and ev charger for us. We are now reaping the benefits of cheap, clean energy. He was on hand to help with any issues with configuring our GivEnergy Battery and Zappi charger making them work optimally with my energy provider. Very responsive. I would thoroughly recommend Renew-AblePosted on Malachy McCoolTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were looking for batteries to complement our pv panels since on sunny days we never used all the electricity generated. We are also on off peak for charging our car. Alan was superb. He explained it all clearly, answered all questions knowledgeably and was very comfortable to deal with. The job was done on time, with no fuss and, very importantly, we felt very comfortable having them in the house. Delighted at the battery performance. It not only worked to store solar but we could choose to charge on very low overnight rates to use in daytime. Our electricity bill literally halved from March (pre install) to April (2023). Professional, courteous and very skilled. Subsequently we decided to augment the system with a second battery and again they were flawless in advice, integrating it into the system and commissioning. Now almost two years on from initial installation it is all still working perfectly. What more could you want?Posted on Lisa MasonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic! From my initial consultation on EV changer installation to the finished job everything was seamless! The cable is fully hidden and super neat! I am so happy!
