Jackdaws nest under PV panels
Solar PV systems require very little maintenance, but we are here if things do go wrong. We suggest you have a PV safety inspection every 5 years so that any signs of trouble can be detected early. Apart from electrical testing, we can also check the panels using our thermal imaging camera to detect localised hot spots.
Sussex Solar offer the option of a monitoring and maintenance package in order to ensure their Solar PV system will perform to its optimum year after year.
The cost of the package varies depending on the size and complexity of your Solar PV system. Please Contact Us for a quotation for this service.
Jackdaws nest under PV panels
Birds shred the PV cables causing earth faults.
Nesting birds damage DC cables and connectors.
DC connector plug melts at the inverter.
Thermal imaging identifies manufacturing defects and PV panel flaws.
Faulty junctions in this PV cell creates heat and burns the back-sheet.
Flaws in the manufacturing process cause localised overheating.
