Solar Maintenance by PV Plus

At PV Plus, we offer expert solar PV maintenance services to ensure your system stays safe, compliant, and operating at peak performance. Whether your array was installed by us or another contractor, we provide ongoing support for commercial, educational, and public sector buildings across England.

Solar is a long-term investment, but like any asset, it needs regular care. Without proper maintenance, issues such as reduced output, unnoticed faults, or fire risks can arise — especially on larger or older systems. Our maintenance packages are designed to prevent problems before they occur, while keeping you compliant with MCS and insurance requirements.

From annual inspections and electrical testing to fault finding, cleaning, and reactive repairs, we tailor our services to suit your system and site. Whether you’re managing a single school or an entire estate portfolio, we’ll help you stay in control of your energy performance and protect your return on investment for years to come.

Proactive System Care
Regular inspections, testing, and servicing help spot issues early — reducing the risk of breakdowns, underperformance, or costly emergency repairs.

Safety & Compliance
We help you meet your obligations under MCS, DNO, and insurance requirements — keeping your system safe and your documentation up to date.

Maximise Energy Outputs
Even small faults can reduce system performance. Our maintenance services ensure your array continues to deliver optimal generation and financial return.

 

Flexible Packages 
From one-off checks to annual maintenance plans and reactive callouts, we offer flexible options to suit your system type, size, and budget.

Trusted by Schools & Councils
We maintain systems across schools, council buildings, and commercial sites. Our DBS-checked team understands how to work safely and respectfully on live, public-facing sites.
