Maintenance of Your Solar PV Installation
Safeguarding your businesses solar panel equipment against possible breakdowns or reductions in performance.
Safeguarding Your Investment
Whether you’re an existing customer or not, Navitas offer both reactive and preventative maintenance and repair solutions for your Solar PV system.
Being dedicated to just Solar PV since 2009, Navitas have earned our place as a trusted partner for many businesses, authorities and organisations throughout the UK who look to safeguard their investment and help protect against any unforeseen breakdowns or reductions in performance.
Professional Solar Maintenance
If designed and installed correctly, Solar PV should require very little maintenance; unfortunately, we do come across installations by other contractors that may not have adhered to the standards set out by the MCS or in accordance with MIS 3002 and which subsequently require remedial work.
However, Solar PV does involve complex electrical equipment with connections and wiring systems that are exposed to environmental elements and other concerns such as pests or third-party interference and so even the most sound of installations can be subject to issues that may eventually lead to failure or breakdown.
Periodically checking your own equipment and reviewing performance figures is a great way to identify any obvious signs of fault or productivity failure. But our recommendation would be to implement a professional maintenance visit once a year to fully inspect the integrity of your system, giving you peace of mind whilst acknowledging any warranty conditions and more commonly, upholding any insurance requirements.
Ensure you don’t lose out on your valuable income and savings.
A Navitas Solar Panel System Inspection
What will a Navitas solar panel system inspection visit include?
- We use a Seaward Solar Installation PV150 instrument to test all the DC (cables) strings from the Solar panels to the inverters.
- Check all inverters for fault codes, check integrity of mountings and connections and ensure all warning labels are present.
- Check meters and review performance to ensure system is in line with performance predictions.
- Check inverters are free from signs of (water) ingress (particularly if mounted external) or dirt build up and clean/report if necessary.
- Functional check all isolators and inspect for damage.
- If there is access to the panels, we shall carry out a visual inspection including mounting system, external wiring and containment.
- On completion, we shall issue test certificates along with any images taken during the inspection for reference.

Solar Panels
There are many different kinds of solar panels available, and they all depend on the size, but they also usually come in two varieties - mono-crystalline, which are slightly more powerful than poly-crystalline. Each different type of solar panel has its own advantages, and can suit different needs.

If you have a lot of solar panels, or need backup power, you may need a battery system to store the excess energy your solar panels produce. This way, it can be used at night or during power outages. Battery storage units can be fitted as a stand alone item or as part of an integrated SolarPV system.

The inverter is the component that transforms the direct current (DC) electricity generated by your solar panels into the alternating current (AC) that powers your home or business. When you’re ready to install solar, Navitas will choose an inverter that suits the needs of your project and your budget.
