Why get servicing?
As a general rule of thumb, PV arrays require very low maintenance. However, periodic maintenance checks and cleaning should be carried out to ensure that your system continues to work efficiently and to avoid future faults. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory estimates that panels lose 25% energy output if they are dirty.

- Performance Analysis: To ensure your system is performing within the designed estimates and manufacturing guidlines.
- Hardware Servicing: An examination of your Solar PV system which includes examining the batteries, cables and inverter, for any issues. We will also make sure the signage is correct and replace if necessary.
- Bird Nesting: We will make sure to check if any Birds are nesting underneath your Solar Panels.
- Once complete will offer a full report of our inspection.

- Full PV array cleaning: Using proper solar panel tools we will remove debris and other nasty stuff which may be affecting your overall system performance, such as bird dropping.
- Record of system condition: We will check the solar panels for glass cracks, gashes or worn spots from degradation or damage from wildlife.
- System Structure: Ensure the system structure is solid and that any loose or broken nuts and bolts will be addressed and fixed.
- We only clean residential solar systems.
Why cleaning solar panels is important

When solar panels get dirty the overall performance of the system can drop significantly. That means less power is produced and you will draw additional power from the grid. A clean system can increase performance by 25%.
