Solar PV systems contain both AC (mains voltage) and DC (high voltage direct current) electrical circuits. Over time, DC connectors can degrade, cable insulation can deteriorate and inverter connections can loosen — creating potential fire and electrical safety risks. A professional inspection of your Sleaford solar system identifies these issues before they become dangerous and ensures your system continues to generate efficiently.

MCS guidelines recommend an electrical inspection of solar PV systems every 4 years, or more frequently if you notice any reduction in generation output, the inverter is showing fault codes, or you're buying or selling the property. Following any extreme weather events such as lightning storms, an inspection is also advisable for Sleaford properties.

Our solar PV inspections in Sleaford cover: the AC-side electrical installation from panels to consumer unit; DC string cables, MC4 connectors and DC isolators; the inverter unit including performance data and fault history; the roof-mounted array condition (visible from ground level); generation meter verification; and a review of the original installation documentation. A written report is issued covering all of these areas.

We do not require access to the original installer's documentation, although it is helpful if available. Our report will identify any concerns regardless of who installed the system.
