Solar System Servicing is an essential requirement for all solar homeowners to ensure that their system is operating safely for their home. This is a requirement for most home and content insurance premiums as there have been cases of damage to property due to solar systems not being kept up to current standards.

As most components of the solar system are exposed to high temperatures over a prolonged period, regular checks and maintenance will give you peace of mind that all the components are working harder for you.

Here’s why you should get your solar system serviced:

Australian Standards – High Australian standards means that your system will be kept up to date with peak regulatory body standards

Product Recalls – if any component has been recalled in the past, we can help with product replacements

Safety – Prevention of any faults that may occur to keep your home running safely

Hazard – Protection against any possible or current fault to prevent hazardous situations

Efficiency – Maintaining peak efficiency so you can generate more solar for your home to use
