We completed a very worthwhile periodic inspection recently on an older commercial photovoltaic (PV) solar panel system in Northampton. Our client’s insurance company requires regular checks to make sure everything is working properly. 

 

In this case, we highlighted issues with a faulty inverter. We also discovered a damaged DC cable on a string. This meant a large part of the installation wasn’t generating energy at all. 

If you own or manage commercial premises it's important to have an up-to-date Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). 

 

If premises have been updated or remodelled, it's also a good idea to have a new EICR. You can then make sure you resolve any electrical issues quickly and safely. 

 

We understand that busy commercial operations need to minimise disruption. We can arrange inspection visits out of hours and at weekends to power everything down safely.
