Maximise Your Solar Investment with Expert Maintenance In The East Midlands
Why Regular Solar System Health Checks Are Essential
Common Issues Identified During Health Checks
Though solar systems are reliable and low-maintenance, there are a few common problems that can arise. With a routine health check, we can identify and address issues such as:
- Dirt Build-up or Blockage: Dust, bird droppings, or debris can reduce panel efficiency.
- Inverter Issues: Inverters may need resetting or repairs to ensure smooth operation.
- Cable Damage: Wildlife or wear and tear can affect wiring.
- System Faults: If your system isn’t generating as expected, we can troubleshoot and resolve the issue.
By addressing these issues early, you can maintain your system’s efficiency and avoid costly repairs down the line.
How Our Solar System Health Check Service Works
- Initial Inspection: Our experienced team will conduct a detailed inspection of your solar panels, inverters, and wiring, checking for any visible signs of damage or wear that could impact performance.
- Cleanliness Check: We’ll carefully examine your system for any dirt, debris, or moss build-up, which could hinder the efficiency of your solar panels and reduce energy output.
- Diagnostics & Repairs: If issues are found, we’ll perform thorough diagnostics to identify any faults and carry out necessary repairs or suggest replacements to restore optimal performance.
- System Optimisation: Finally, we’ll fine-tune your system to ensure it’s operating at peak efficiency, maximising energy savings and extending the lifespan of your solar investment.
The Benefits of Regular Solar Maintenance
Regular solar maintenance helps to ensure that your system continues to generate energy efficiently and without interruption. The benefits of a health check include:
- Maximised Energy Generation: Keep your system at peak performance for lower bills.
- Extended System Life: Regular care and attention help prolong the life of your solar system, protecting your investment.
- Early Problem Detection: Spot potential issues early before they become costly repairs.
- Peace of Mind: Rest easy knowing your system is functioning as expected and contributing to a sustainable future.
Do You Need a Solar Health Check?
If your system hasn’t been serviced in the last year or if you notice any of the following signs, it’s time for a health check:
- Reduced Energy Output: Your system isn’t generating as much power as expected.
- Inverter Error Codes: The inverter is displaying fault codes or warnings.
- Visible Damage: Your panels or wiring show signs of wear, cracks, or physical damage.
- Performance Drop: A noticeable decline in efficiency, especially after a storm or heavy weather.
Our team can quickly identify the cause and implement a solution to restore your system’s performance.
Solar Panel Lifespan & Maintenance Tips
Solar panels typically last for 20–25 years, while inverters generally require replacement after 10–15 years. Regular maintenance can help extend the lifespan of your system and prevent unexpected failures. Here are some simple ways to ensure optimal performance:
- Monitor Your System’s Performance: Regularly check your system’s generation against the estimated output in your user manual.
- Clean Panels Occasionally: Although most panels self-clean, dirt and debris may require manual cleaning.
- Protect Against Pests: Ensure no animals are nesting under your panels, as that may cause damage.

Sophie Sedan
Spectrum energy recently installed an EV charger, solar panels and storage battery. I couldn't be happier with the service, communication and quality of the product. It's really user friendly with the customer app so I can keep up to date with how much solar I'm generating.
Al and Vicki Holt
Spectrum Energy Systems installed our home Aiko solar panels/LG battery/Solar Edge inverter and we have been really impressed with the level of service. The job was completed quickly, they responded immediately to any questions we had, and the installation was professional and thorough. The team was knowledgeable and efficient.
Stephen Herring
Highly recommended. I thought I would be better with a big established company (no names but eight legged sea creature). Spectrum Energy Systems came highly recommended and they've proven why. Spent ages on emails and phone calls with other companies sending information and when a surveyor eventually arrived found so many obstacles.
Gail Liley
I had two quotes and went with Charlie. He kept in touch and followed up with all my queries and getting to understand how everything works. Fitting the panels and equipment was very straight forward.
Mitchell Russon
I recently had a 4kw home solar system installed by Spectrum Energy Systems and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and transparent. They thoroughly explained the process and benefits. The installation was efficient, respectful of my property, and completed ahead of schedule. Since installation, I've noticed a significant decrease in my electricity bills. Highly recommended!
Andy Stafford
Fantastic experience from start to finish! The team at Spectrum provided clear, honest advice and helped me understand my solar options without any confusion. The installation was smooth, professional, and completed on time. The difference in my energy bills has been incredible! Their post-installation support was also excellent—checking in to ensure everything was working perfectly. Highly recommend their services to anyone considering solar energy!
Luke Jackson
Brilliant company to deal with. From the initial chat about my requirements to installation, I can’t fault one thing. I found Solar somewhat a minefield with some people trying to bamboozle me with information but Spectrum helped explain it in simple terms. The installation was faultless and they even called me 2 days later just to check everything was running OK. 10/10 team. Would definitely recommend.
Troy Hackett
Exceptional service and professionalism from Spectrum! The team guided me through the entire process, making everything easy to understand. The installation was seamless, and the quality of work was outstanding. I’ve already noticed a significant drop in my energy costs. Plus, their after-sales support has been fantastic—they genuinely care about their customers. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to go solar with Spectrum!
