Solar PV Servicing, Health Check...
Attention solar owners, It is of utmost importance that you exercise caution and refrain from allowing any individuals into your home to inspect your Solar PV system.
Consider this: Does a random cold caller possess accurate knowledge about your installer going bankrupt, the potential malfunctioning of your solar PV system, or the expiration of your warranty?
Unfortunately, there exists a well-known fraudulent scheme where salespeople enter your premises and manipulate the situation. They may deceitfully turn off your system, falsely claim it is not functioning, assert that it is out of warranty, or insist you need additional equipment or servicing.
Yes, it is disheartening to acknowledge that there are individuals devoid of moral integrity who engage in such deceitful practices. Moreover, falling victim to these solar scams not only invalidates genuine product warranties, but also poses potential safety hazards.
The truth is, most solar equipment requires minimal maintenance, aside from periodic panel cleaning. In fact, we can often assess the system’s performance over the phone. If your inverter is operational and your meter shows a daily increase in energy generation, you can rest assured that everything is functioning properly. If you have concerns about its capacity, you can take daily solar generation meter readings for a week, cross-reference them with your installation documents, and reach out to us via phone or email for a manual check.
Numerous online resources discuss this issue extensively. Companies like ESE Services are still in operation, unfortunately, and there are many others who seek to profit by falsely claiming that repairs, upgrades, or servicing are necessary when they are not.
Various forums can provide valuable information on this matter. You can find insightful discussions on platforms such as the Money Saving Expert forum on the ESE Solar Panel Free Health Check and read more about it in national press articles like the Beware Letters Offering Free Solar published by The Mirror Newspaper.
Additionally, it is worth exploring online communities and social media groups dedicated to renewable energy and solar panels. These platforms often host knowledgeable individuals who are passionate about sustainable living and can offer valuable insights and advice. Websites like Reddit and Facebook groups like “Solar Power Enthusiasts” are great places to connect with like-minded individuals and learn from their experiences. Furthermore, reputable industry websites such as Solar Power World and Renewable Energy World provide comprehensive information, news, and resources on solar panels and their maintenance. By tapping into these diverse sources, you can gather a wealth of information to make informed decisions about your solar panel system and ensure its optimal performance.
