FAQs
Repairs & maintenance: common questions
My solar panels have stopped working. What should I do?
Check the inverter for warning lights or error codes and look at your monitoring app. If there is a fault, contact your original installer or a solar repair specialist.
Do solar panels need cleaning?
Rain keeps most panels reasonably clean. Cleaning can help where panels are shallow-angled or near trees, farms or the coast.
Why do pigeons nest under solar panels?
The gap under panels is sheltered. Bird proofing mesh stops them getting in.
Can panels be removed for roof work?
Yes. Some installers offer removal and reinstallation, including storage in between.
