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Cooling fans, internal components, and firmware can deteriorate or become outdated, reducing system efficiency and shortening operational lifespan.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

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a solar PV system be serviced?

Solar PV systems should be inspected and serviced once per year by a qualified engineer. Annual servicing is increasingly required by insurers and manufacturers to keep warranties and policies valid.

Does my solar warranty require annual servicing?

Most solar panel and inverter manufacturers recommend annual inspection as part of their warranty conditions. Failure to service may result in rejected warranty claims.

Do you have service systems you did not install?

Yes. We service solar PV and battery storage systems regardless of who carried out the original installation. Systems must be MCS compliant with appropriate documentation in place.

How much does an annual solar service cost?

Our annual solar PV and battery service starts from £99 inc VAT. A fixed-price quotation is provided before any work begins with no hidden charges.

How long does a solar service take?

A standard annual service is typically completed in 2 to 3 hours in a single visit. Systems with battery storage or larger commercial arrays may take longer.

Will servicing improve my system's performance?

Yes. Servicing restores and maintains system efficiency by identifying degraded components, verifying connections, and checking inverter and battery operation. Neglected systems can lose measurable output over time.

Can my insurance be affected if I do not service my solar system?

Yes. Many insurance providers now include maintenance clauses within policy terms. Without documented annual servicing, claims following a system fault or fire incident may be rejected.

What happens if a fault is found during the service?

If our engineer identifies a fault, you will receive a clear explanation and written quotation for any recommended repairs before any additional work proceeds. We never carry out unauthorised repairs.

Do you provide a service report?

Yes. Every service includes a written report covering all inspection findings, performance readings, and any recommendations for remedial work. This provides documented evidence of servicing for warranty and insurance purposes.

Can panel cleaning be arranged at the same time as the service?

Yes. Professional panel washing can be arranged alongside your annual service at the time of booking. Contact us to include this when scheduling your visit.
