For most homeowners, solar panel systems require very little maintenance. They’re built to last 25–30 years with minimal upkeep. Here’s what to expect:
✅ What’s Usually Included (No Extra Cost)
- Monitoring software to track your system’s performance
- Bird protection (if included, as we offer it for free)
- G99/DNO application and permissions
- Manufacturer warranties (typically 10–25 years for panels and inverters)
🔧 Possible Ongoing or Occasional Costs
| Item | How Often? | Typical Cost |
| Inverter replacement | Every 10–15 years | £800–£1,500 |
| Battery replacement (if added) | Every 10–15 years | £2,000–£4,000 |
| Optional cleaning | Every 1–2 years (if needed) | £50–£100 |
| Repairs (rare) | As needed | Covered if under warranty, otherwise varies |
⚠️ Note: Cleaning isn’t always required, especially in rainy areas like the UK—but it can help if you live near trees, farms, or construction.
💡 Hidden Costs?
We believe in full transparency. There are no hidden charges—everything like scaffolding, travel, bird protection, and necessary paperwork is included in our quote. You only pay extra if you choose optional upgrades (like a larger battery, EV charger, or extra panels).
