Having PV solar panels in the long run can save you money, but if your panels are in disrepair or in need of some TLC then you won't be reaping the benefits. Solar panels in general need very little upkeep but there will be times when an expert is needed to come in and repair your existing panels to optimise their efficiency or fix any damage.
Having problems with your PV solar panels in the Glasgow and Lanark areas? Not sure where to go or how to fix it?
Look no further:
Have a problem but not sure as to the cause? We can come out to do an initial assessment to work out what the problem is and if we can fix it on the day we will.

Cleaning Panels
For the UK cleaning your panels is a rare thing due to the amount of rain that naturally washes down panels. However this is not true for some of the UK that will still need to give the panels a wipe down to get rid of some of the grime and bird droppings that may be covering large areas.
In the winter it is advised that the snow be swept clear where possible, allowing for the sun to get to your PV solar panels and continue to generate power throughout the winter season.
How can I tell if there's a problem with my panels?
Its not always Immediately clear that there is a fault with the panels or they are not working efficiently. Some of the best ways to check this is either by checking your generation meter for any warning lights or by comparing your actual output to your quotes to see if there is any major difference.
Optimisation
Your solar panels should come with a guarantee upon installation , this is an indication of how long they should work at optimum performance. However this can be effected by a few factors such as the pitch of your roof and the direction they are facing. Having your solar panel at a higher angle will improve its self cleaning abilities. If you have a lower pitch to your roof and therefore a lower angle to your panels they may need extra help in cleaning, this is best done every other year.
Around the same time it is advised that you get an electrician in to check over the system to make sure all the connections are sound and pre-empt and faults that may weather over time.
