Why Solar Panel Maintenance Is Crucial for Your Business

Maximize Efficiency with Regular Care

Solar panels are a long-term investment, but like any technology, they require regular upkeep to function optimally. Through consistent maintenance, you ensure your panels continue generating maximum energy and avoid performance dips. Regular checks also help prevent potential problems from turning into costly repairs, giving you peace of mind while keeping your business in line with safety standards and environmental goals.

How Often Should Solar Panels Be Serviced?

To ensure that your solar PV system operates efficiently, we recommend performing cleaning and inspections at least once a year. If your business is situated in areas with heavy dust, bird droppings, or pollutants, cleaning may need to happen more frequently. At Arc Renewables, we customize our service intervals based on your location, ensuring your panels stay in prime condition year-round.

What Does Proper Solar Panel Maintenance Involve?

Regular maintenance for solar panels goes beyond just cleaning. We conduct in-depth inspections of your panels and system components to identify and fix potential issues before they escalate into major problems. Routine servicing will include cleaning, visual checks for damage, and comprehensive performance evaluations. Additionally, we use robotic cleaning systems for large-scale commercial solar setups, which ensures your panels get cleaned quickly and effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions – Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Servicing

What does Arc Renewables’ O&M servicing include?

Our O&M service covers system evaluations, electrical diagnostics, solar panel cleaning, performance checks, incident support, emergency repairs, and reporting. We focus on keeping your solar PV system safe, compliant, and performing as expected across its lifespan.

Do I need an O&M contract if my system is already installed?

Yes. Even fully commissioned systems benefit from ongoing operations and maintenance. An O&M agreement ensures your system is regularly checked, cleaned, and monitored so that issues are identified early and addressed before they affect output or safety.

How often should my solar PV system be serviced?

As a general guideline, we recommend at least one service visit per year, which will typically include cleaning, inspections, and performance checks. For high-risk or high-output systems, biannual visits may be advisable. We tailor service intervals to your site conditions and operational needs.

Can Arc Renewables maintain systems you did not install?

Yes. We provide O&M services for both Arc-installed systems and third-party installations. Our team will carry out an initial assessment to understand the system design and condition before agreeing an appropriate servicing plan.

Will maintenance visits disrupt my business operations?

We plan work to minimise disruption. Most inspections, testing, and cleaning can be carried out while your business continues to operate. Where temporary shutdowns are required, these are scheduled in advance and kept as short as practical.

Do you offer remote monitoring and incident support?

Yes. Our monitoring platform allows us to track system performance and identify faults or underperformance. In addition, our incident support line provides access to expert help if you notice an issue or receive an inverter alarm.

What kind of reports will I receive after a service?

After each visit, you will receive a clear service report outlining the condition of your system, any faults identified, corrective actions taken, and recommended next steps. This helps you demonstrate compliance and keep a record of system performance over time.

Can you help with warranty claims and replacement parts?

Yes. Where components remain under manufacturer warranty, we can assist with fault diagnosis, documentation, and liaison with suppliers. Our goal is to streamline the process and reduce the administrative burden on your team.

Do you only maintain solar panels, or can you service EV chargers as well?

Our expertise includes both solar PV systems and EV charging infrastructure. We can incorporate EV charger checks, diagnostics, and repairs into your wider O&M arrangement if required.

What areas of the UK do you cover?

We support commercial and industrial sites across the UK. Service availability and response times may vary by location, so we will confirm coverage and typical lead times as part of your proposal.

How is O&M pricing structured?

Pricing depends on system size, location, accessibility, and the level of service required. We can provide fixed-price annual servicing, call-out rates for reactive work, or tailored packages that combine routine maintenance, monitoring, and emergency support.

How do I get started with an O&M servicing plan?

You can contact us today to discuss your existing system, current issues, and servicing requirements. We will review your setup and recommend an O&M package that fits your site and operational priorities.
