Solar Panel Maintenance.

At East Yorkshire Solar, we understand how important it is to keep your solar panels running smoothly all year. Regular maintenance helps your panels work efficiently and last longer, saving you money in the long run. Whether you have domestic solar panels or a commercial solar system, we provide solar panel servicing and maintenance tailored to your needs.

What Could Go Wrong with Solar Panels?

Even though solar panels are built to last, some issues can still arise. Here are some common problems:

  • Birds Nesting Under Panels – Birds can build nests under panels, damaging wires and blocking airflow.
  • Dirt Build-up – A layer of dirt or debris can block sunlight, reducing energy output.
  • System Turning Off During Cloudy or Rainy Weather – This could indicate a fault with the inverter or other components.
  • Inverter Displaying a Fault Code – Inverter issues can disrupt the entire system.
  • Cracked or Damaged Panels – Damage can lower efficiency or stop the system from working entirely.
  • Monitoring and Metering Faults – Issues with solar monitoring systems can make it difficult to track performance.
  • Cables Gnawed by Wildlife – Animals chewing on wires can cause system-wide failures.

Addressing these issues promptly is key to maintaining optimal performance.

Solar Maintenance Services.

Our range of solar panel maintenance services are designed to ensure your system performs efficiently and remains free of preventable issues.

Solar Panel Cleaning

Dirt, dust, and debris can accumulate on your panels over time, reducing their ability to capture sunlight effectively. Our professional cleaning service removes this build-up, helping your panels work at full power. We use specialised cleaning tools and techniques that are gentle on your panels while effectively removing dirt and grime. Regular cleaning not only improves efficiency but also protects your system from long-term damage caused by grime and residue.

Solar Panel Pest Protection

Birds and small animals love nesting under solar panels, but this can cause serious damage to wires and reduce airflow. We install protective systems that keep animals away without affecting panel performance. These systems are built to last, even in tough weather and they help to protect your panels from harm, ensuring they work efficiently.

Solar Panel Infrared Imagery Service

We use advanced infrared technology to create a thermal map and find hidden issues in your solar panels. Using this technology, we can pinpoint faults or areas of inefficiency that may not be visible to the naked eye. If you’re interested in a more in-depth assessment, we can also provide thermal mapping images. These detailed images highlight the yield and power levels of your solar panels, offering valuable insights into your system’s performance. With this information, you can see the effectiveness of your solar energy generation.

If you have solar panels at home, keeping them in good condition ensures they keep producing clean, renewable energy. We recommend having your system checked every 5–10 years to catch issues before they affect performance.

Even minor issues, such as a build-up of dirt or debris, can significantly reduce the efficiency of your system. Proper maintenance extends the life of your system and saves you money by avoiding expensive repairs.

For businesses, maintaining your solar energy system is critical for maximising energy savings and ensuring a consistent power supply. Our commercial solar panel maintenance services are tailored to meet the demands of larger systems, ensuring they remain reliable and efficient over time.

We understand that downtime can impact your performance, which is why we prioritise prompt, effective servicing to minimise any disruption to your operations. From routine checks to detailed performance assessments, our team has the expertise to support your business’s energy goals.

How to Check Your Panels Are in Good Condition?

While professional servicing is essential, there are a few simple checks you can perform to monitor your system’s condition:

  • Read Your Meter – Check if your energy output matches the estimates in your system’s guide. Large differences could signal a problem.
  • Inspect Panels: Look for dirt, cracks, or signs of animal activity under your panels.

If you notice anything unusual, it’s best to contact East Yorkshire Solar for a detailed assessment.
