Maintaining and servicing your solar panels is crucial for several reasons:
- Optimal performance: Regular maintenance ensures that your solar panels operate at their peak efficiency, maximising energy production and saving you money on electricity bills.
- Prolonged lifespan: Routine inspections and upkeep help extend the lifespan of your solar panel system, protecting your investment and ensuring long-term energy generation.
- Identifying issues: Professional servicing allows for the early detection of any potential issues or faults, preventing minor problems from developing into costly repairs.
- Safety assurance: Ensuring that your solar panels are well-maintained promotes safety, minimising the risk of electrical hazards or system malfunctions.
- Warranty compliance: Many solar panel warranties require regular maintenance to remain valid. Adhering to manufacturer recommendations helps retain warranty coverage if issues arise.
- Environmental impact: Well-maintained panels operate more efficiently, maximising the amount of clean energy generated and reducing your carbon footprint.
- Peace of mind: Regular servicing provides peace of mind, knowing that your solar panel system is functioning optimally and reliably.
By having your solar panels maintained, you’re not only safeguarding your investment – you’re guaranteeing consistent and efficient renewable energy production for years to come.
It’s recommended that you clean your solar panels every six months. However, there may be times when you will need to clean them more regularly, such as in the autumn when leaves are dropping.
Solar panels are typically placed on rooftops that aren’t meant to be walked on. Cleaning them yourself, without the right expertise and safety equipment, can be risky and lead to serious injuries from slipping. If you’re not completely confident, it’s much safer and less stressful to go for a professional solar panel cleaning service.
While you can clean panels yourself, professional cleaning is safer and more effective. We use specialist equipment and techniques to remove stubborn dirt without damaging panels, ensuring optimal performance while you stay safely on the ground.
Solar panels should ideally be serviced once a year or if you notice any of the following:
- A drop in efficiency
- Unreliable performance
- Visible damage to your panels or other components
- Birds, rodents, or other wildlife adopting your panels as their own

They will also test your panels to ensure they are performing at optimal levels.
You will also receive active monitoring of your system, priority response for any callout without the callout fee, and no labour costs for any warranty replacements needed if you’re on a maintenance package with us.

Regular maintenance will impact the performance of your solar panels as it will ensure that the panels themselves are cleaned and have no obstructions stopping them from absorbing the sunlight to convert to energy.
Services will also ensure that other parts of the system are fully functioning, ensuring any storage batteries are holding power, and the inverter is converting currents as needed.
Making sure each component of the system is working at its best will ensure that your system is running as efficiently as possible, saving you money on your bills and reducing your carbon footprint.
