We can provide commercial solar photovoltaic (PV) inspection and maintenance products and services through our Specialist Partner SolarSense. These solutions are available to Aviva customers at preferential rates.
Solar PV systems are valuable long-term assets that require regular inspection, maintenance and monitoring to operate safely, reliably and efficiently throughout their lifetime.
Without proactive maintenance, systems can degrade over time, potentially resulting in reduced energy generation, equipment failures, operational disruption and increased electrical and fire safety risks.
Established in 1995, SolarSense has more than 30 years’ experience in renewable energy and specialises in the design, installation and maintenance of commercial solar PV systems.
Planned Maintenance
Regular planned maintenance helps identify deterioration before it affects safety, reliability or energy generation. Scheduled inspections and preventative maintenance support the continued performance of commercial solar PV systems while reducing the likelihood of unexpected failures.
Inspection and testing programmes are aligned with recognised industry standards and best practice, including the IET Code of Practice for Grid-Connected Solar Photovoltaic Systems, RC62 recommendations for fire safety in photovoltaic installations and Solar Energy UK guidance.
Services:
- Electrical inspections and preventative maintenance
- Performance testing and thermal imaging
- Drone inspections
- Earthing and bonding continuity testing
- DC string testing and electrical safety checks
- Detailed inspection reports with prioritised recommendations for remedial works
Reactive Maintenance
Where faults or defects are identified, SolarSense provides specialist remedial services to restore system performance, minimise operational disruption for businesses, and return systems to optimum operating condition.
Services:
