Independent PV Inspection & Maintenance
Your solar system needs an inspection too.
SolarGuard provides independent PV inspections to help homeowners understand the condition and performance of their existing solar system.
Inspect. Assess. Report. Maintain. Protect.
- Independent
- We don't sell or install panels.
- Technical
- Structured assessment and thermal imaging.
- Transparent
- Photographic report with clear recommendations.
You inspect your car. Why not your solar?
Your car gets inspected, maintained and monitored because it is a valuable long-term investment. Your solar PV system is no different.
Your solar PV
- PV inspection
- Generation review
- Panel condition
- Mounting condition
- Thermal imaging
- Cleaning where required
- Bird inspection
- Photographic inspection report
Your solar system is a long-term investment. Know what condition it is in.
Our core inspection
PV Health Inspection
Know the condition of your solar system.
We carry out a structured visual assessment of your existing residential PV system and review available performance information to identify visible issues, maintenance requirements and areas that may require further investigation.
- Solar panel visual inspection
- Visible panel damage
- Mounting system visual inspection
- Roof/PV interface visual inspection
- Visible cable/conduit condition
- Inverter visual/status review
- Monitoring/app review
- Generation/performance review where information is available
- Shading assessment
- Bird activity
- Nesting/debris
- Soiling
- Visible defects
- Photographic documentation
- Clear recommendations
Thermal Imaging Inspection
See what the eye can't.
Thermal imaging can help identify temperature differences across PV modules and components that may not be visible during a standard visual inspection. It is used as an additional inspection tool to identify areas that may warrant further investigation.
- PV module temperature patterns
- Suspected hot areas
- Abnormal temperature differences
- Localised heating patterns
- Connections/components where thermally accessible
- Comparison of similar modules under suitable conditions
Thermal imaging is a non-invasive inspection technique used to identify temperature differences and potential areas requiring further investigation. It does not replace electrical testing, commissioning tests or specialist electrical fault diagnosis.
What does SolarGuard inspect?
PV Panels
Visible condition, damage and soiling.
Mounting
Visible condition of mounting components.
Roof Interface
Visual assessment around the PV/roof interface.
Inverter
Visual condition and status information.
Performance
Available generation and monitoring information.
Shading
Visible/current shading considerations.
Birds
Nesting, debris and fouling.
Thermal
Optional thermal imaging assessment.
Documentation
Photographic inspection report.
When was your solar system last inspected?
- “My solar isn't producing what it used to.”
- “I don't know if my panels are performing properly.”
- “I've never had my solar system inspected.”
- “There are pigeons nesting underneath the panels.”
- “My panels are heavily soiled.”
- “I want an independent opinion on the condition of my PV system.”
SolarGuard gives you an independent view.
Simple. Professional. Independent.
