Why Solar PV and Battery Energy Storage Systems Should Be Serviced Annually

Written By Dean Stennett

Annual servicing of both solar PV (photovoltaic) and Battery Energy Storage Systems is widely  recommended by UK industry professionals to ensure efficient, safe, and long-lasting operation. Here are the key reasons why annual servicing is essential: 

  1. Maintain Optimal Performance and Efficiency
  • Spot Early Problems: Routine annual checks help identify issues such as loose connections, worn parts, or inverter faults before they reduce performance or cause breakdowns. 
  • Maximize Output: Dirt, debris, or component faults can lower energy production. Annual inspections ensure everything is clean and functioning at its best, avoiding unnecessary drops in generation. 
  • Battery Health: For energy storage, annual checks verify the condition and calibration of batteries, helping to prevent hidden degradation or overheating that could limit usable storage or damage cells. 
  1. Extend System Longevity
  • Proactive Maintenance: Regular servicing tackles minor faults and wear before they escalate, thereby extending the lifespan of solar panels, inverters, and batteries. 
  • Component Checks: Annual inspections typically involve testing electrical wiring, mountings, and safety devices, minimizing long-term deterioration. 
  1. Ensure Safety and Compliance
  • Electrical Integrity: Professional servicing includes safety checks for wiring and equipment, helping prevent fire hazards, shorts, or ground faults. 
  • Insurance Validity: Many insurers and warranty providers require evidence of regular professional maintenance to keep coverage valid and to support future claims. 
  • Regulatory Compliance: Proper maintenance supports compliance with UK safety and health standards, including for commercial installations. 
  1. Protect Financial Investment and Maximise ROI
  • Reduce Downtime: Scheduled servicing minimizes unexpected outages and costly emergency repairs, keeping your system generating and reducing energy bills. 
  • Warranty Protection: Evidence of maintenance can be essential for warranty claims if panels or batteries fail prematurely. 
  • Sustained Savings: Well-maintained systems consistently deliver higher returns on investment by producing more energy and lasting longer. 
  1. Peace of Mind
  • System Reports: Annual service visits usually include a performance report and recommendations for further action, so you know your system’s ongoing status. 
  • Prevent Major Failures: Prompt attention to minor issues can prevent major repairs or costly replacements down the line. 

What Does Annual Servicing Involve?

In summary, annual servicing of your Solar PV and Battery Energy Storage System safeguards performance, safety, and investment value, while fulfilling compliance and warranty requirements. Regular professional attention is a small cost compared to the long-term benefits it delivers.
