Many solar systems look fine on the surface, but hidden issues can reduce performance, affect safety, or shorten system life.
A solar health check is a professional inspection of your system, carried out by qualified solar electricians. It focuses on safety, performance and long-term reliability, not sales pressure.
Whether your system is new, ageing, or behaving unexpectedly, a health check gives you clarity and peace of mind.
What we check during a solar health inspection
A proper solar health check looks beyond panel numbers and app screenshots.
We assess the parts of your system that matter most:
• Electrical safety and wiring integrity
• Inverter operation and fault history
• Panel mounting, rails and roof fixings
• System layout, shading and real-world performance
• Signs of degradation, heat stress or water ingress
Most issues we uncover relate to workmanship or ageing components, not the panels themselves.
Electrical safety and wiring condition
You cannot see electricity, which is why electrical issues can feel unsettling.
Loose or poorly terminated wiring is one of the most common faults we find. It can cause intermittent generation, inverter errors or breakers tripping. In rare cases, it can become a safety risk.
During a health check, we inspect DC and AC cabling, terminations, isolators and earthing to make sure everything is secure, compliant and performing as it should.
If something does not look or feel right with your system, it is worth having it checked properly.
The role of the inverter
The inverter is the control centre of your solar system. It works harder than any other component and is often the first part to show its age.
We see many inverters failing or underperforming after 10 to 15 years, but not only on older installations.
A solar health check looks at inverter efficiency, fault codes, operating temperature and compatibility with modern upgrades like batteries or optimisers.

Panels, fixings and roof integrity
Solar should generate electricity for you quietly and securely for decades.
Rattling panels, cracked tiles or visible movement are not normal. These issues usually point to a poor rail layout, incorrect fixings or a rushed installation.
We check rail systems, mounting points and sealing to ensure your roof remains weather-tight and structurally sound.
This is especially important if your property has had roof work carried out, storm damage, or panel removals in the past.
Is your solar system performing as it should?
We often hear, “My solar system is not producing the output I was told it would.”
Panel numbers and EPC ratings do not tell the full story.
Underperformance is often caused by layout decisions, shading, string design or cabling choices made at the installation stage.
A solar health check helps identify whether your system is limited by design, ageing equipment or something that can be improved.
Peace of mind that all is well
A solar health check is a reassurance service.
Some installed systems need nothing more than confirmation that everything is working as it should. Others benefit from small corrections, preventative maintenance or future-proofing advice.
If improvements are recommended, we explain them clearly, what and why and let you decide how to proceed.
No pressure. Just clarity.
