How often should a solar inspection be carried out?
Most people are under the impression that as their solar does not have any moving parts, it, therefore, doesn’t really need any maintenance… which is actually incorrect. A solar power system should be checked by a qualified Clean Energy Council (CEC) electrician at least once a year, with the inspection covering the installation, DC isolators, panels, solar inverter, wiring, mounting array frame and system performance. In addition, DC isolators themselves should be checked at least once a year to ensure they are in good condition and don’t pose a fire risk.
Who should complete a solar check?
Any solar inspections should be carried out by a qualified and experienced professional. At Static Electrics, our team of Master Electricians are fully certified to complete solar audits on a huge variety of solar brands, types and models.
Common solar system faults
When we complete solar inspections, there are a few issues that show up time and time again:
- Burnt DC isolators
- Water ingress into the DC isolators
- DC isolators installed incorrectly
- Melted MC4 solar plugs
- Melted solar wiring
- Panel connection covers missing
- Shattered glass on the solar modules
- Burn lines on the solar cells under the glass
- No earthing to the panels or array frame
- Inverter installed in the wrong location
- Incorrect solar labels
- Incorrect cable used for solar wiring
However, ensuring regular solar checks are carried out on any system will ensure that issues are dealt with quicker and more efficiently, as well as catching problems before they arise.
Professional solar panel thermal imaging
Testing your solar panels using thermal imaging allows our solar electricians to identify problems which can affect the performance of the PV system as well as pose serious safety and fire risk for the building.
Thermal imaging can identify issues such as solar panel hot spots, micro-cracking, hot joints in the wiring, and circuit protection.
Solar panel testing using thermal imaging is non-invasive and does not require the solar PV system to be turned off for the test to be carried out minimalising disruption to your power production.
This method can also be utilised on other aspects fo the solar systems as well to identify hot spots which can indicate potential faults in wiring or solar components.
Thermal imaging can be carried out on residential or commercial solar power systems for insurance reports, maintenance contracts, or routine performance and safety testing requirements.
