Solar PV Inspection & Maintenance
Get more from your solar. Every panel. Every day.
Maximising Output, Extending Lifespan
Solar PV systems only deliver their full return when every panel is producing at peak performance. At ECS, we combine routine cleaning, preventative maintenance and advanced remote monitoring to deliver a tailored service that maximises energy output while extending system lifespan and ensuring ongoing safety and compliance across your entire solar estate.
Our qualified engineers carry out every inspection in line with manufacturer guidance and current British Standards, providing the documented evidence you need for audits, insurance and ongoing compliance.
Routine Inspection and Preventative Maintenance
Our preventative maintenance programme is built around four core elements:
Annual Solar PV Inspection
A thorough on-site inspection to identify physical damage, loose connections, corrosion or shading issues that could affect system performance. Includes DC and AC isolator inspection, full visual check of panels, mounting and cabling, identification of shading, corrosion or physical damage, and safe system shutdown and recommissioning.
Inverter Inspection and Testing
Verification of inverter performance, system voltages and connection integrity to ensure compliance with manufacturer and safety standards. We carry out functional testing of inverter operation, verify system voltages and outputs, check connection integrity and wiring, and complete DC string testing where applicable.
Professional Panel Cleaning
Environmentally friendly, non-abrasive cleaning methods remove dirt, dust, bird droppings and debris that impede sunlight absorption and reduce energy yield. We use soft-wash cleaning safe for all panel types and coatings, isolate panels during the clean, and re-energise and verify output on completion.
Post-Cleaning Inspection
Every clean includes a thorough visual inspection to identify any issues uncovered once panels are clear. We check for microcracks and delamination, hotspots or discolouration, and assess frame and mounting integrity. All findings are included in the post-visit report.
Remote Monitoring
Our advanced remote monitoring platforms give you real-time visibility of performance across your entire solar estate, with the data and alerts you need to act quickly when something is wrong.
- Real-time performance visibility across your entire estate via advanced remote monitoring platforms
- Regular performance reporting with trend analysis, benchmarking and actionable insight to support asset decisions
- Automated fault detection with instant alerts, safety notifications and a full fault log maintained for audit purposes
Certification and Compliance Records
An annual inspection report and certification is issued upon completion of every visit, covering cleaning activities, system performance, identified faults and remedial actions. ECS maintains full records for reference, auditing, compliance and performance tracking, so your evidence trail is always ready when you need it.
Access and Working at Height
Pricing assumes safe and sustainable access to all panels. Where physical access is not possible, inspection will be visual only, unless drone use is agreed at additional cost. Roofs above two storeys, fragile roofs, or sites requiring MEWP, scaffolding, edge protection, permits or fall-arrest systems are priced on application.
