Solar Inspection

What Is a Solar PV Inspection?

A solar PV inspection is like a health check-up for your solar panels. During this process, our experts carefully examine each panel to ensure everything works as it should. We look for any signs that could stop your panels from collecting sunlight efficiently. This way, you can keep saving money on energy bills and reduce your environmental impact, all without any surprises.

How Often Should Solar Panels Be Checked?

Solar panels should ideally be checked at least once a year to ensure they are functioning properly and efficiently. During these annual inspections, our professionals can identify any potential problems, such as damage or dirt buildup, that might affect the panel's performance. Regular checks help maintain the panels' effectiveness and longevity, allowing you to continue enjoying renewable energy without unexpected issues.

Why Are Your Solar Panels Not Producing Full Power?

One of the main reasons your solar panels might not be producing their full power is dirt and debris. Over time, dust, leaves, and other particles can accumulate on the surface of your panels. This buildup can block sunlight, meaning less energy is captured and converted into electricity.

What Are Some Common Defects on Solar Panels?

Solar panel defects are usually the result of manufacturing imperfections, installation errors, or external factors like weather conditions.

Here are some of the defects often found in solar panels:

• Hot spots: Areas on the panel that become excessively hot, they’re a sign of a malfunction that can reduce energy output and potentially cause further damage.
• Snail trails: Discoloration or marks on the panel surface, they may indicate micro-cracks or moisture ingress.
• Corrosion or rust: This can occur on the frame or other metal components of the panel, causing structural damage and potentially affecting electrical performance.
• Delamination: This is a separation of layers in the panel due to adhesive failure or moisture ingress.
• Electrical issues: These could be faulty wiring connections, damaged junction boxes, or other electrical malfunctions that can affect the panel's performance.

Our licensed electricians can identify these and other defects and recommend appropriate solutions by conducting a thorough solar inspection.

Detailed Reports Guaranteed

We develop a thorough and official report after every inspection. This includes complete details on any needed work or repairs, as well as relevant cost estimates.

These are official documents that you can use for insurance purposes as well as during a property purchase or sale.

Can Bad Weather Damage Solar Panels?

Bad weather can damage solar panels if they're not correctly installed or maintained. Heavy rain, hailstorms, and high winds can lead to physical damage, such as panel cracks or dislodged connections. Consistent exposure to harsh weather may hasten wear and tear, affecting the panels' efficiency over time.

Regularly inspecting and maintaining the panels is needed to protect your solar investment to ensure they are securely mounted and free from debris or damage.
