Solar PV Repair, Maintenance and Installation

Regular Inspection: Key to Maximizing Solar PV System Efficiency

All electrical systems need periodic inspection and testing. Solar PV systems are no different. Solar Photovoltaic systems don’t have a lot of moving parts that can fail so they don’t require a huge amount of work to keep them in good working order. However, as with any technology, the better care you take of it the longer it will last. In order to make sure that your solar panels are performing at their best efficiency it is recommended that you arrange a regular health check to make sure that they live a long and happy life, supplying you with all clean energy, savings on your energy consumption and protecting your investment For PV systems mounted on buildings, the recommended inspection interval will depend on the type and use of the building.

Typical reasons for inspection, testing or maintenance include;
  • An obvious fault has developed – for example an inverter has stopped, working or a panel is damaged
  • Concerns about reduced returns from your system
  • Periodic inspection or routine maintenance
  • A change in system ownership to your solar PV installation
  • Water ingress
  • To safeguard your investment

Importance of Professional Inverter Maintenance

Inverters are much more technically sophisticated than solar panels and are not something the average person should touch, for inverter maintenance you should always choose a qualified engineer such as the team at GOS Heating. The electrical components and high voltage elements make this too dangerous for people without certifications.Inverters work in a similar way to a fan in a computer, inviting dust into electrical components, you might ask what can dirt do to an inverter? If it’s got the right particles, it can create new conduction pathways on the circuit boards, which in extreme cases can lead to circuit failure. Humidity is also another problem for your inverter as it can invite more corrosion risk for electrical terminals and connections

    Michael Whittaker Avatar Michael Whittaker

    Called GOS after the previous plumber couldn't fix a problem with the heating. The lady on the phone was really helpful and found an engineer just finishing up and sent him straight over. Chris was excellent, quickly diagnosing and explaining the problem. He was spot on and had it fixed within minutes. Really nice guy, and refreshing to meet someone with a solid understanding of heating systems and excellent customer service. Will definitely be calling GOS first next time.

  • Chris and the team at GOS have looked after our boiler since fitting it 12 years ago. Very friendly and professional service. Have recommended this company to many of our friends.

    Gail Jefferies Avatar Gail Jefferies

    GOS Heating replaced a very old back boiler with a modern Vaillant combi system. The customer is my mother who is almost 91 years old. A couple of issues arose, one relating to the shower with the change from gravity system to pressurised. The other was a non installation related but coincidental electrical promlem. The GOS engineers were patient and tolerant with my elderly mother and saw the job through to a satisfactory conclusion. I have no hesitation in recommending GOS as a reputable and trustworthy company.

    Rang on Friday to request a service and repair, had someone out by Wednesday. Chris came to do our service and within an hour he had completed that and priced up the parts for our repair which should be done in a couple of days. Really happy with the service and Chris was lovely too.

The company deals with Large Organisations and to Domestic needs. The quality of Service, Care and Punctuality is of very High Standard. Domestic customers are given the same care as they would give a large organisation. Once a job is entrusted, the responsibility that GOS Heating takes to ensure that it has met the the highest standard of completion is something I would always appreciate.

All work carried out is supervised by the Dave, who is also highly skilled and been in the business for many years, The coordinator, Nikki is a name to remember at GOS Heating. Her skills and attention to detail when allocating appointments is Excellent. Her manner of speech is very touching, and she understands the customers needs.

  • In Autumn 2023 I moved into a property with a quirky heating system that needed urgent replacement as the temperatures were falling. I contacted GOS and they ripped out the old heaters and replaced everything with a top-of-the-range Gas Combi and rads. This has worked efficiently. I have just had the first twelve monthly service; all good. As well as high quality products I liked the fact that the personnel are pleasant and punctual. Recommended.

What are Micro Inverters

Microinverters are also becoming a popular choice for residential and commercial installations. Like power optimisers, microinverters are module-level electronics so one is installed on each panel. Microinverters convert DC power to AC right at the panel and so don’t require a string inverter.

Because of the panel-level conversion, if one or more panels are shaded or are performing on a lower level than the others, the performance of the remaining panels won’t be in any jeopardy. Microinverters also monitor the performance of each individual panel, while string inverters show the performance of each string.  This makes microinverters good for installations with shading issues or with panels on multiple planes facing various directions. Systems with microinverters can be more efficient, but these often cost more than string inverters.

What are Battery based Inverters

Battery Based Inverters are bidirectional in nature and include both a battery charger and inverter. Battery-based inverter/chargers may be grid-interactive, standalone grid-tied or off-grid, depending on their UL rating and design.  The primary benefit of inverter/chargers is that they provide for continuous operation of critical loads irrespective of the presence or condition of the grid.

Battery based inverter/charger manages energy between the array and the grid while keeping the batteries charged. They monitor battery status and regulate how the batteries are charged.
