It is a slight misconception that these systems do not need to be cleaned or maintained. Unfortunately, when these systems are sold, it sounds much more appealing to install and not have to worry about the system again. Obviously any sort of machinery will need some general upkeep to maintain its full efficiency. After all, the initial outlay for these systems is quite large so it is important that you get the best out of what you have paid for.
'Clean and Gleam' Service
Cleaning is not just to keep panels looking pretty!
Solar thermal systems have a chromium layer which is very similar to a mirror. This is situated behind the tubes/cylinders which you will mainly see. Throughout the winter months, a layer of dirt and residue can build up on this chromium layer, causing a mist over the surface, which being underneath the tubes/cylinders, is not washed away by general rainfall. This then impairs the reflective qualities causing its performance to be reduced. We will complete a clean of you whole system, ending in a polish, leaving your panels like new.
Also, after cleaning your panels, we will rotate your tubes 180 degrees to expose a new surface area, preventing excessive wear on one side only.
System Check.
Contrary to what some suppliers would have you believe, solar systems need periodic maintenance to ensure your investment is safeguarded and performs to its optimum capability.
Solar Systems reach an increasingly high degree of efficiency but in many cases they can still further increase their efficiency through regular and professional maintenance.
Solar thermal systems should be serviced once every 12 months to keep an eye on any general wear and tear and to maintain general upkeep.
We therefore offer annual or one-off check-up servicing appointments. This will ensure that your solar thermal system continues to function at the highest possible efficiency and it will prolong the life of the unit to make sure you get value for money for your investment.
Our fully insured and well experienced team provide a full, external and internal check of your system to ensure there are no faults, leaks or wear and tear that may have arisen. Whilst we are completing the system check, we look for common factors which lead to a decrease in performance on the panels, for example, pressures, etc. We can also replace any insulation that may have worn away. Our workers are experienced enough in general fault finding on the systems as well, should there already be an existing problem.
n the unlikely event that we do find something wrong we will then contact you and offer our help to get it back up and running as quickly as possible.
