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

    Excellent service all round when dealing with low pressure issues on my boiler. Diagnosed the issue quickly and helped the external gas transporter understand what they had to do to resolve the issue. Went above and beyond for us as a customer in doing so. Special mention to Chris our gas engineer and Julie for organising the works. Can’t speak highly enough of them.

  • I have used GOS on two major household improvement projects which I couldn't compromise on. They are simply the best. Their knowledge is deep and their planning and execution is first class. All this while being accessible and friendly and not too corporate. That takes skllied leadership, authenticity and a genuine care about the finished product or service, which emanates from call operators to the installers and supervisors. I commend GOS without hesitation.

  • I recently had GOS install a new boiler for me, and the process was so simple! The new boiler was in within days. From the pre-install survey to the actual installation, everything went smoothly and without any issues. The team displayed a high level of expertise and were professional throughout. I highly recommend GOS for anyone in need of a new boiler installation.

    Reece Woodhams Avatar Reece Woodhams

    This firm attended our house promptly at the agreed time, and carried out a most intricate plumbing investigation and repair. They were not only informative throughout the process, but completed the work in a timely manner and left the workplace spotlessly clean. I would recommend them 100%.

    Robert Parkes Avatar Robert Parkes
  • Thoroughly impressed by the experience of dealing with GOS who ultimately installed a new boiler and replaced radiator valves and thermostats. From Nicki, in the office; Tony, who did the survey; and Dave & Richard, who did the installation, the whole process was undertaken in a professional, timely & friendly manner. What also impressed was when, even after being paid, I alerted GOS to a slight leak from one of the radiator valves they arranged for an engineer to visit the next day to remedy the matter. Would I use GOS again? A definite YES!

  • Have used GOS to service my central heating system since they installed it in June 2012.Happy with their service and reliability.

    Jack Shipp Avatar Jack Shipp
  • Engineer Chris Baron came to service our boiler & to have a look at our radiators as one wasn’t warming up as much as the others. He said we wouldn’t need to flush the system but just balance it so that all radiators were getting equally as warm. Once he had done this you could notice a difference straight away. Very pleasant & informative, explaining everything he had done. Great job.

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.
