Is Your Solar System Working As Hard As It Should?

Most solar systems installed before 2018 have never been professionally checked. The result is lost generation, hidden faults and voided warranties. Our Solar MOT fixes that in a single visit.

Your System Could Be Losing Money Right Now

Without regular maintenance, solar systems silently degrade. Most homeowners have no idea until the bill arrives.

Drag to compare — before and after a professional clean

!

Soiling and contamination

Dirt, moss and bird droppings shade individual cells and trigger hot spotting that permanently damages panels. The South Coast coastal air makes this worse.

Up to 25% output loss
!

Silent inverter failure

Most inverters fail silently, dropping efficiency by 10 to 15% before showing any fault codes. By the time you notice, you have already lost hundreds in generation.

£150 to £300 lost per year
!

Mounting and wiring faults

UK weather stresses roof fixings over time. Loose or corroded hardware can void your roof warranty and create a fire risk. These faults are invisible without a physical inspection.

Can void warranty entirely
