Is your solar system working as well as it should?
A clear, professional health check for the safety, condition and performance of your solar PV system—without jargon, pressure or unnecessary work.
Peace of mind
Small issues rarely announce themselves
Many solar systems continue operating even when performance has fallen or a minor defect is developing. The first sign may be a higher bill, a warning in the app—or no obvious warning at all.
Our health check gives you a clear picture of the system today and identifies concerns before they become more disruptive or expensive.
Safety first
A structured review of the visible electrical installation, protective equipment and system condition.
Performance clarity
We compare generation and operating information to identify signs of underperformance.
Plain-English report
You receive written findings, supporting observations and clearly prioritised recommendations.
What we examine
A thorough review from panels to consumer unit
The scope is adapted to the installation, access and available documentation. Testing is undertaken safely and proportionately.
System performance
Generation reviewed against the system size, orientation and available records.
✓
Solar PV modules
Visual condition, secure mounting and signs of damage, shading, soiling or hotspots.
✓
DC electrical side
String voltage, current where appropriate, cabling, connectors and DC isolation.
✓
Inverter operation
Status, fault history, ventilation, monitoring and expected operating behaviour.
✓
AC electrical side
AC isolation, protective devices, consumer-unit connection and visible switchgear.
✓
Earthing & labelling
Visible bonding, earthing arrangements, warning labels and emergency information.
✓
Meters & monitoring
Generation meter, smart monitoring and consistency of recorded performance.
✓
Installation condition
Signs of wear, water ingress, overheating, loose equipment or previous alterations.
✓
MIS
3002
Reviewed with recognised solar PV installation requirements in mind
MIS 3002 is the MCS Solar PV Installation Standard. A health check is an assessment of an existing system; it does not retrospectively certify or re-certify the original installation.
THERMAL ANOMALY
Optional advanced inspection
Drone and thermal imaging for hard-to-see faults
For suitable domestic, commercial and larger solar arrays, a drone-assisted thermal inspection can help identify temperature anomalies consistent with defective cells, connection problems, shading effects or bypass-diode issues.
- ✓ Rapid review of large or inaccessible arrays
- ✓ Thermal and high-resolution visual evidence
- ✓ Helps target further electrical investigation
- ✓ Useful supporting records for asset management and insurers
CAA-compliant flight planning
Every flight is assessed against current UK drone rules. Where the proposed operation falls within the Specific Category, the required CAA Operational Authorisation and operating conditions apply.
A simple process
What happens during your health check
BEFORE THE VISIT
Tell us about the system
We gather the age, equipment details, known concerns and any monitoring information available.
ON SITE
Careful assessment
Our specialist completes the agreed performance, condition and safety checks with minimal disruption.
AFTER THE CHECK
Clear findings
You receive a written summary, friendly explanation and prioritised options if attention is recommended.
Who it helps
Reassurance for homes, landlords and businesses
Whether the installation is new to you, no longer supported by its original installer or simply due a professional review, we help you understand its true condition.

Clear evidence. Clear priorities. No pressure.
If everything is working correctly, we will tell you. If we identify a concern, we explain its importance and the available next steps—you remain in control.
- ✓ Safety and condition observations
- ✓ Performance findings
- ✓ Photographic evidence where applicable
- ✓ Plain-English written summary
- ✓ Prioritised optional recommendations
- ✓ Documentation for your records
Frequently asked questions
Useful answers before you book
Will you tell me if nothing is wrong?+
Yes. Many visits end with reassurance that the system is operating normally, supported by a clear written explanation of what was checked.
Is this suitable for an older solar system?+
Yes. Older systems can benefit most, particularly where monitoring has stopped, the original installer is unavailable or performance history is unclear.
Do you carry out repairs?+
We assess first. If work is recommended, we explain the reason, urgency and options clearly. There is no obligation to instruct us.
Is this an electrical safety inspection?+
Safety forms an important part of the health check. The exact scope and limitations are stated in your report. Where a formal EICR or specialist investigation is required, we will advise you.
