We Fix Underperforming Solar — By Upgrading It

Solar Maintenance Solutions specialises in full solar panel and battery storage installations. If your existing system is underperforming, the smartest fix is rarely patching ageing kit — it's a modern system that pays for itself. Free honest survey: 0800 099 6606.

The honest answer

Why we upgrade rather than patch

Most "solar maintenance" call-outs we used to attend traced back to the same root cause: equipment at end-of-life. Inverters last 10-12 years. Panels fitted in the FiT era (2010-2015) produce 250-300W each — modern panels produce 430-500W from the same roof space. Paying £150-£300 a year to service ageing kit is often money spent propping up a system that should be replaced.

So we changed our model. We now focus exclusively on what actually fixes the problem: full solar panel installations and battery storage — including complete replacements of FiT-era systems and battery retrofits that transform what your existing panels deliver. Every install includes free lifetime monitoring, so maintenance is designed in from day one.

Frequently Asked

Common questions

Do you offer standalone solar panel maintenance?
Our focus is full solar panel and battery storage installations. For customers with older or underperforming systems, the most cost-effective route is usually a system upgrade rather than ongoing servicing of ageing equipment — a modern hybrid inverter, higher-output panels, and battery storage typically transform performance and payback. Every install we complete includes free lifetime monitoring and a comprehensive workmanship warranty, so maintenance is built in, not bolted on.
My existing solar system is underperforming — what should I do?
Book a free survey. Most underperformance on systems over 8-10 years old traces to an ageing inverter or degraded panels — equipment reaching end-of-life. We will assess your existing system honestly: if an upgrade or battery retrofit makes financial sense, we will quote it; if your system simply needs a specialist service company, we will tell you that too.
Do new installations come with maintenance included?
Yes. Every Solar Maintenance Solutions installation includes free lifetime remote monitoring with automatic fault alerts, full manufacturer warranties (up to 25 years on panels, 10-15 years on batteries), and our workmanship guarantee. If the monitoring flags an issue with a system we installed, we deal with it.
Can you add a battery to my existing solar panels?
Yes — battery retrofits are one of our core services. Tesla Powerwall 3 and EcoFlow PowerOcean can both be added to virtually any existing solar installation, raising self-consumption from ~30% to 80%+ and unlocking smart tariffs like Octopus Flux. This is usually the single highest-impact upgrade for an existing solar home.
