In a world where global warming and greenhouse gases have become the hottest topic, with governments making their efforts for a more green and sustainable future, solar panels offer a completely green and renewable energy solution to support global efforts.
Solar panels have become the most popular energy resource all over the globe due to their zero-carbon footprint. This eco-friendly solution has taken the lead and dominated the energy world on both domestic and commercial levels.
Solar Solutions Oxford is an MCS-certified company providing complete domestic and commercial solar panel maintenance, repair and installation services in the UK. We only house certified and trained installers with a vast industry experience in commercial solar panels.
Although solar panels are designed to be durable and can easily withstand severe weather and environmental conditions, it is not unlikely for them to develop any technical fault or get damaged. Moreover, solar panels tend to reduce their output over the years, which is why it is better to keep an eye on the system and maintain it properly to get the most out of it.
Furthermore, the correlated systems, such as invertors and batteries, require regular checks and inspections to ensure the systems are working in perfect condition.
A preliminary step involves a visual examination of the solar panels to look for any visible damage, such as cracks, corrosion, hotspots, or loose connections. The inspector will check for dirt, debris, or shading that might reduce the panel’s efficiency.
Various tools and equipment are used to measure the electrical output of the solar panels. This can include current-voltage (IV) curve tracers or maximum power point trackers to verify that the panels are generating the expected amount of electricity.
If the solar panels are installed on a roof, the inspection may involve assessing the condition of the roof to ensure there are no leaks or structural issues that could affect the solar panel’s performance or safety.
The solar inverter is a critical component that converts the DC produced by the solar panels into usable AC. The inspector will check the inverter’s performance and ensure it’s working within specifications.
Thermal imaging cameras can be used to detect hotspots caused by faulty cells, diodes, or connections. Hotspots can indicate areas of potential malfunction or inefficiency that require attention
The inspector will examine the wiring and connections between the solar panels, inverters, and other
components to ensure they are secure and functioning correctly.
Safety is a paramount concern during inspections. The inspector will make sure that the installation adheres to relevant electrical and building codes and that there are no safety hazards present.

Yes, Solar Solutions Oxford has a team of highly trained and versatile technicians providing complete installation, maintenance and repair services for commercial solar panels.
Solar panels require very little cleaning because they can self-clean during rain. But, for birds’ droppings and other persistent stains, you can use a cleaning spray to wipe your solar panels.
Depending upon the ease of access to the broken panel, it can cost you around £350+VAT to replace it with a new panel.
Solar panels do not have any complicated mechanical parts; hence, they require minimum maintenance. However, it is better to conduct periodic inspections to ensure that they are functioning properly.
