Rooftip solar panel installation periodic insepction in Northampton
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. 
Electrical installations like this main distribution board need regular condition inspections
We found signs of burning on one of the main distribution boards during one five-year EICR inspection. 
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.  
Electrical upgrades for a charming cottage in Pitsford Northamptonshire
It was a pleasure to help out with electrical upgrades for this pretty little cottage in our neighbouring village of Pitsford. 
 
The work included lighting alterations, power additions, RING cameras and bells and an electrical inspection condition report (EICR). We even hung some mirrors and other fixtures to get everything ready, although that’s not usually part of the service.
