    Troubleshooting Common
    Problems with Solar Panels

    Before calling an engineer, you can perform a basic check. Compare your current generation metre reading to the estimate in your handbook.

    You can also perform a visual panel inspection from the ground to look for moss, lichen, or surface debris that may require professional solar panel maintenance.

    If your system shows a red light or isn’t generating power, follow these steps:

    Turn off the AC and DC isolators, wait 5 minutes, then restart (check your manual first).

    Ensure no breaker in your consumer unit has tripped.

    If these steps fail, contact us with your inverter’s make, model, and any displayed fault codes.

    Safety Warning: Never attempt to climb onto your roof, inspect panels at height, or touch high-voltage DC wiring yourself; solar PV systems carry lethal electrical currents, and repairs should only be carried out by qualified engineers.

    Smart Monitoring & Apps: Your System at Your Fingertips

    Modern solar apps allow you to track your real-time energy production and consumption so you can quickly spot performance dips or system errors.

    Being familiar with your system’s daily baseline through these digital tools is the easiest way to ensure long-term efficiency and catch issues early.

    Benefits of Solar Panel Maintenance

    Regular maintenance for solar panels is the best way to secure your energy independence and protect your hardware.

    (01)

    Maximised Energy Yield:

    We identify and fix “silent” performance drops caused by dirt, shading, or technical errors.

    (02)

    Protection of System Longevity:

    Annual health checks ensure small issues don’t turn into costly problems with solar panels later.

    (03)

    Safety Assurance:

    Full testing of electrical hardware, cabling, and protective devices to ensure your Midlands home remains safe.

    (04)

    Wildlife Protection:

    We check for and resolve issues caused by birds nesting beneath panels or animals chewing through system cables.

    (05)

    Warranty Compliance:

    Many manufacturer warranties require proof of regular solar PV maintenance to remain valid.

    Professional Solar Panel Cleaning

    Keeping your solar panels clear of dust, bird droppings, and industrial grime is essential for maximising energy yield, as buildup can block sunlight and reduce generation.

    Our specialist solar panel cleaning service uses de-ionised water to safely remove stubborn dirt, boosting your system’s performance by up to 15% and preserving panel coatings.

    Solar Panel Maintenance FAQs

    Although leaves and moss rarely cause issues, as panels sit close to the roof, any debris accumulation under the panels can be dealt with by our team during a maintenance visit. If you spot moss development, inform your solar panel cleaner so they can ensure its complete and careful removal.
    Birds, especially pigeons, are drawn to the sheltered, shaded, and protected space beneath solar panels for nesting. To proactively prevent this common issue, Geo Green Power can pigeon-proof your solar PV system during installation. Simply ask about this service when you book your consultation, and we will include it in your order.
    Solar panels will be most efficient when the sun is hitting them directly, which is around midday. Light intensity is the most important factor when considering efficiency – when the sun is lower in the sky, light won’t be as intense, and this will reduce the output of your panels. Seasonal changes can also affect the efficiency of your panels, as during the summer, the sun shines for longer than in winter. From around May to September, your residential solar PV system will produce more energy than from October to April as the days are shorter. However, remember that solar panels don’t need direct sunlight to function. Even on cloudy days, your solar panels will still absorb light and continue to work effectively. Whatever the weather, you can benefit from energy production year-round; it will simply be more effective on sunnier days and at times when the sun is highest in the sky.
    In most cases, local rainfall and the angle of installation mean that solar panels are self-cleaning. However, dust, bird droppings, tree sap, lichen and other dirt can build up, so occasionally it is worth cleaning them manually. A spray with a garden hose is often enough to remove surface dirt, or most window cleaning companies will have a reach-and-wash system that can be used to get the panels thoroughly clean quickly. We do recommend an annual service of your solar PV system, and as part of this, our team can inspect your panels and assess whether they need cleaning.
    Solar panel replacement cost will depend on how easy it is for us to reach and replace a specific panel. Costs would vary from £350 + VAT for the panel and work involved.
    Yes. Solar panel systems are designed so that you can easily handle solar panel replacements if required.
    It’s unlikely that your panels will stop working, as there are no moving parts; a fault with your system is much more likely to be an error with your inverter. Panels do, however, stop working if they are damaged by falling objects, if they or the cabling is moved and become loose or if they become excessively dirty. All these issues can be identified during service.
    Depending on how good the manufacturer is, inverters typically have a life span between 10-15 years. Fault codes on inverters vary depending on the manufacturer. Some common codes to look out for include:
    • Error 509 = No energy is being fed back to the grid. The common cause of this error is dirt or debris on your panels.
    • Error 314 = This is a calibration timeout, which should rectify itself when the inverter repeats its start-up routine.
    • Green Flashing Light = A connection issue. Once the conditions for the feed-in operation are met, the inverter will start the feed-in operation. Make sure the power supply is secure and connected to the solar PV system.
    If you’re detecting any of these issues, call our maintenance team today!
    Most solar panels come with a minimum 20-year warranty, so they’re truly future-proof! If there’s an issue, it’s more likely to be your inverter or power supply. The lifespan of inverters, unfortunately, isn’t as long as that of the panels. Before you report a fault, it’s worth checking a few things: Is there enough ventilation? Inverters can overheat if not provided with space to breathe. Making sure they’re not boxed in or near heat sources (radiators, etc.) is important to ensure the longevity of your inverter. Is the inverter clean and free of dust? Regularly cleaning your inverter can extend its lifespan, as dust can easily clog up the vents and cause overheating.
    One easy way you can check if your panels are performing at their best is to check the estimated annual generation figure, which you can find in your MCS certificate. If this number isn’t accurate to the figure on your generation meter, then this can be a sign that there may be an issue with your system. Checking your generation figure every quarter is a great habit to get into, especially when you’re approaching the warmer months, as you’ll want your panels working at full capacity and taking advantage of the summer sun!
