If you’re considering buying solar panels, you’ll be pleased to hear they’re relatively easy to look after. Plus, if you give your system a bit of tender love and care, it will reward you with roughly 30 years of solar energy in return.

Despite solar panels being pretty low maintenance, there are still a handful of things to keep a watchful eye on. In this article, we’ll take you through the do’s and don'ts of solar maintenance – just scroll down to find out more.

But we all know there will come a time when repairs just won’t do the job anymore. Wear and tear will eventually slow down your panels, and when they come to a resounding halt, it’s time to look into getting a sparkly new system. This is where we come in.

Solar panels have no moving parts, which makes them relatively low maintenance. But if you want to reduce solar panel costs and maintenance over time, you’ll need to look after them. Here are a few things that you should do to keep your panels in tip-top condition:

Solar panel maintenance checklist

  • Get your panels serviced
  • Clean your solar panels
  • Remove potential dangers
  • Keep solar panels out of the shade
  • Make sure the inverters are flashing green
  • Check the day-to-day performance

Did you know that solar panels can reduce your business’ environmental footprint and save you money every year? Commercial solar panels can be beneficial regardless of whether your company is large or small.

Most businesses are active in the daytime, which means they are the perfect candidates for utilising solar panels. The energy produced by solar panels immediately flows out, unless you pair your solar array with a solar battery storage system.

One of the key benefits is the substantial cost savings — even small businesses can save hundreds of pounds each year.

Over the 30-year lifetime of solar panels, this equates to thousands of pounds. If you operate industrial solar panels, you can sell excess energy to utility companies for a profit.

The benefits of solar panels for business go beyond practicality and saving money. By switching to commercial solar panels, you are also lowering your business’ carbon footprint.

This is based on the amount of greenhouse gases produced by your actions. Solar energy is renewable and carbon neutral. Switching would indicate your business’s commitment to green and sustainable practices.

Are you looking to install an air source heat pump in South Wales or the West of England? We at The Veteran Building Company provide full air source heat pumps service including; installation, repairs and servicing. Air source heat pumps are a great way to save money and reduce your carbon print. Not only could an air source heat pump help you avoid the rising cost of energy, you could also earn money to help pay the cost of installing one. Air source heat pumps are a system that absorbs heat from the outside air, this heat can then be used to heat radiators, underfloor heating systems and provide hot water in your home.

Air source heat pumps work by absorbing heat from the outside air to heat your home and water - they’re a great low-carbon way of heating your home. Heat can still be extracted when air temperatures are as low as - 25°C. An air-source pump is highly efficient as even though it needs electricity to run, it typically uses less electrical energy than the heat it produces, therefore making it very energy efficient - a greener equivalent to traditional boiler heating systems

There are the two main types of air sourced heat pump systems...

An Air To Water System

Air to water heat pumps take heat from the outside and transfer it to water, which is then fed into your wet central heating system. The heat which is then created via the air to water heat pump can be used to heat up radiators, underfloor heating, and as a hot water supply for your home.

Air to Air Heat Pumps

Air to air to heat pumps takes air from the outside via a compressor and the heat is then extracted from the air and pumped to the house. Air to air heat pumps can also cool your house in the summer months. This method of heating is very efficient as it can generate up to 4.5 times the energy which it consumes.
