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

  • 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.

  • Always use GOS for Gas boiler servicing and have always been very satisfied with the service (especially by Chris B). So when we had problems with a thermostatic bar shower, i had no hesitation in calling GOS.. Chris came to assess the issue, explained what options we had and once we decided to replace, he fitted a new shower bar. Very happy. Thanks Chris!

  • Sam and Liam arrived on time, provided protection for all flooring and units, did an amazing very neat job and left the place immaculate. Both guys had an amazing attitude and left us feeling very comfortable- no question was ignored and happy to work with us as some item estimate covered weren’t need. Kept us informed throughout and brought in support when needed with electrics (as wiring wasn’t as expected/should have been).. Looking to do some further work next year so will be definitely asking GOS to quote and for these guys to be given the work. Sam is very precise in his work and you’d never guess Liam had been with company a month given professionalism he showed and way he answered question. First class service- what more can I say.

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.
