Existing systems
Solar maintenance for systems that already live here
A lot of roofs in this region already have an array. Some are fine. Some have a quiet inverter fault, a loose earth, or panels that have not been looked at since the week they went on. Maintenance is how you find out which one you have.
Free solar assessmentWhat a health check looks at
Inverter logs and error state, isolators, earthing, visible corrosion on coastal rails, obvious soiling, and whether the app numbers still match a sensible output for the season. We do not invent a production guarantee from the footpath.
Salt air is a schedule, not a slogan
Coastal systems want eyes on them more often than dry inland ones. That can be as simple as a rinse plan you do yourself plus a periodic inspection. The salt-air guide sets expectations.
Before you add more
Adding panels or a battery to a neglected system is a good way to spend twice. If you are planning an upgrade, start with maintenance. Then read solar + battery or your town page.
Questions people actually ask
Do you clean panels?
Cleaning can be part of a service visit when access is safe. Bird soil and salt film are the usual reasons. We will say if a roof is not safe to walk.
My system is ten years old. Is it finished?
Not automatically. Inverters often age out before modules. A check tells you whether you are maintaining, replacing an inverter, or redesigning.
