Solar system operations & maintenance
Safeguarding your solar investment
Modern Energy serves as a reliable partner for solar panel operations and maintenance across various businesses in the UK. Our comprehensive services include both reactive (addressing issues as they arise) and preventative (proactively avoiding problems) maintenance for commercial energy systems.
Additionally, we take on servicing and repairs for clients who have solar PV systems installed by other contractors. We offer solar system upgrades with new 12 year minimum warranty to repurpose your current system into a more dynamic safe system offering cloud monitoring to ensure your installation is always generating efficiently.
Remember that proper maintenance ensures your solar panel system operates safely, efficiently, and at optimum performance. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask! Benefits are:
Safety Assurance
Efficiency Optimisation
Peak Performance

Maintaining Commercial Solar PV Systems
Protecting Your Solar PV Asset
Commercial solar PV systems are indeed designed to be low-maintenance and operate productively for many years. However, like any complex electrical equipment, unforeseen issues can arise due to factors such as the environment, third-party interference, or component failure.
Regular Checks
- While solar panels have no moving parts, it’s essential to periodically inspect them for any signs of dirt buildup, loose bolts, or other issues.
- From ground level, you can use binoculars to check for dirt accumulation or loose mounting system bolts. Aim to do this at least twice a year.
- If you notice a sudden drop in energy output, it could indicate a problem that needs attention.
Cleaning
- Solar panels typically need cleaning every five years, unless they become particularly dirty due to factors like coastal sea air (which can cause salt buildup).
- The most effective way to clean panels is with a hose from ground level.
Professional Maintenance
- We recommend professional maintenance visits at least once every 5-10 years.
- These visits help identify intermittent faults, ensure optimal performance, and prevent unexpected financial losses.
- Regular servicing also upholds any warranties on the equipment you’ve purchased.
Cost Savings and Longevity
- Proper maintenance maximizes energy output, reduces downtime, and extends the lifespan of your solar panels.
- By safeguarding your investment, you can avoid potential breakdowns and costly repairs.
Remember that maintaining your solar panel system ensures it continues to generate valuable income and savings for your business. If you’d like assistance tailoring a maintenance package to your specific requirements, feel free to contact us!
Solar System Maintenance Checks
Visual Inspection of Panels:
A professional technician will assess the physical condition of the solar panels. They’ll look for signs of damage, wear and tear, or any issues that might affect performance.
Inverter Check:
The inverter is a critical component that converts the direct current (DC) output from the panels into the alternating current (AC) required by your local power grid.
Technicians will inspect the inverter to ensure it’s functioning correctly
Meter and Other Component Checks:
The service will include checking other components such as meters and wiring connections to ensure they’re working properly.
Current and Voltage Assessment:
Technicians will measure the current and voltage output of the panels to verify their performance.
Roof Condition Inspection:
Since solar panels are mounted on roofs, it’s essential to assess the roof’s condition. Any issues with the roof can impact the panels’ stability and safety.
Remember that regular inspections help identify potential problems early, maintain efficiency, and extend the life of your solar panel system.

Operations & Maintenance
Solar panel cleaning – Why?
Keeping solar panels clean is crucial for maximizing their efficiency and output. Over time, dirt, dust, pollen, and other debris can accumulate on the surface of the panels, forming a layer that obstructs sunlight and significantly reduces their energy production capabilities.
Improve efficiency
Dust and debris can block sunlight, reducing electricity generation.
Warranty
Regular cleaning is often a warranty condition.
Rainwater isn't enough
Rain alone do not clean panels effectively.
Increase durability
Clean panels for longevity of life & ensure no hotspots evolve causing panel failure or fire
Inspection
Cleaning allows for regular inspection.
Improve return on investment:
Dirty panels can reduce lifetime savings. Meet your initial financial prospectus & ensure no ROI losses
Efficiency
Regular cleaning ensures that the panels operate at their peak efficiency
Lifespan
Cleaning can extend the lifespan of the panels by preventing the accumulation of harmful substances that might degrade materials
