Panel Degradation Assessment

Gain valuable insight into your solar system's long-term health with our comprehensive Panel Degradation Assessment service. While all solar panels naturally degrade over time, the rate at which this occurs can significantly impact your energy production and financial returns. Our specialized assessment uses advanced diagnostic tools to measure your panels' current performance against manufacturer specifications and industry benchmarks, identifying whether your system is experiencing normal degradation (0.5-0.8% annually) or accelerated decline that requires attention. This data-driven approach reveals hidden issues like micro-cracks, PID (potential-induced degradation), or hotspots that standard inspections might miss.

For Perth homeowners with systems over 5 years old, this assessment is particularly valuable, potentially uncovering opportunities to recover 10-15% in lost efficiency through targeted interventions. Armed with our detailed report, you'll have clear visibility into your system's current condition, projected lifespan, and specific recommendations to maximise performance—whether that's targeted repairs, strategic panel replacements, or system optimisations that ensure you continue enjoying maximum returns from your solar investment for years to come.

Thermal Imaging Inspections

Uncover hidden issues affecting your solar system's performance with our cutting-edge Thermal Imaging Inspection service. Using advanced infrared technology, our certified technicians can detect hotspots, faulty connections, and cell deterioration that remain invisible to the naked eye—potentially saving you thousands in lost energy production.

This non-invasive, non-contact method allows us to thoroughly assess your entire solar array without disrupting its operation or requiring system shutdown. Regular thermal imaging can identify problems before they escalate into major failures, extending your panels' lifespan while ensuring optimal efficiency. With Perth experiencing over 265 sunny days annually, even minor issues can significantly impact your energy harvest. Our detailed thermal analysis provides visual evidence of any anomalies, allowing for targeted repairs rather than costly system-wide interventions. Schedule your Thermal Imaging Inspection today and gain peace of mind knowing your solar investment is performing at its absolute peak potential.

Micro-Crack Detection

Protect your solar investment with our advanced Micro-Crack Detection service, identifying invisible threats before they compromise your system's performance. These microscopic fractures—often undetectable to the naked eye—can reduce power output by up to 25%, create dangerous hotspots, and potentially lead to complete panel failure if left unaddressed. Using cutting-edge thermal imaging and electroluminescence technology, our certified technicians can identify these hidden defects that commonly develop from hail damage, mechanical stress, or manufacturing defects.

Unlike basic visual inspections, our comprehensive detection process reveals the true condition of your panels, potentially saving you thousands in lost energy production and premature replacements. With Perth's extreme weather conditions putting additional stress on solar systems, regular micro-crack assessments are essential for maintaining warranty coverage and ensuring your panels continue performing at peak efficiency throughout their expected 25-30 year lifespan. Schedule your Micro-Crack Detection service today and gain peace of mind knowing your renewable energy system is free from these invisible efficiency killers.

Connector and Cable Maintenance

Ensure your solar system's long-term reliability with our specialized Connector and Cable Maintenance service, addressing the most overlooked yet critical components of your installation. While panels often receive the most attention, it's frequently the connections and cabling that fail first—especially in Perth's harsh climate where UV exposure, temperature fluctuations, and coastal salt air accelerate degradation.

Our comprehensive maintenance includes thorough inspection and testing of all MC4 connectors, junction boxes, and cabling for signs of corrosion, water ingress, or insulation breakdown that can lead to dangerous arc faults or system failures. Using specialised thermal imaging, we identify high-resistance connections that silently rob your system of efficiency while creating potential fire hazards. Our technicians apply professional-grade dielectric grease to prevent moisture intrusion, replace degraded seals, secure loose connections, and ensure proper cable management to prevent premature wear from wind movement or animal damage. This proactive approach not only maximizes your system's performance and lifespan but also maintains compliance with safety standards and warranty requirements—providing peace of mind that your solar investment remains safe and efficient for decades to come.

Weather Damage Repair

Restore your solar system's performance and protect your investment with our specialised Weather Damage Repair service, designed specifically for Perth's unique climate challenges. From sudden hailstorms and extreme heat waves to powerful coastal winds and seasonal lightning strikes, Western Australian weather can take a significant toll on even the most robust solar installations.

Our expert technicians provide comprehensive assessment and repair of weather-related damage, including panel micro-fractures, mounting system loosening, water ingress in junction boxes, and lightning-induced electrical damage that can silently degrade your system's performance and safety. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we identify both visible and hidden damage, providing detailed documentation for insurance claims while offering cost-effective repair solutions that restore your system to peak efficiency. Don't let weather damage compromise your energy production or create potential safety hazards—our prompt, professional repair service ensures your solar investment remains protected against Perth's sometimes harsh elements, maintaining optimal performance and extending your system's operational lifespan for years to come.

Anti-Islanding Testing

Ensure your solar system's safety and compliance with our essential Anti-Islanding Testing service, a critical maintenance procedure often overlooked by system owners. This specialized test verifies that your inverter will automatically shut down during grid outages, preventing dangerous "islanding" where your system continues sending power to the grid—potentially endangering utility workers or causing equipment damage. Beyond safety, regular anti-islanding testing is required to maintain your system's warranty and compliance with Western Power regulations, with many insurers now requiring documented evidence of these tests.

Our certified technicians use advanced testing equipment to simulate grid failures, verifying your system responds within the mandated timeframe (less than 2 seconds), while also checking related safety functions like voltage and frequency protection. With Perth's increasing grid instability during summer months, properly functioning anti-islanding protection has never been more important. Schedule this crucial safety test today and gain peace of mind knowing your solar investment not only generates clean energy efficiently but does so with the highest safety standards—protecting your family, property, and the broader community.
