Get optimum performance and the best value from your solar panels
At Solar Fix Network, when we undertake solar panel testing, we use state-of-the-art equipment to test your home solar energy system and the information that we gather enables us to provide you with a comprehensive report, comparison graphs and data that is verified by one of our experienced electrical engineers. Our aim in testing your solar panels is to ensure that they are
performing consistently and to your expectations. We check and compare their actual performance against the targets outlined by your system designer or installer, to ensure that the operation and output remains in line with the ongoing performance rating.

Over time, is inevitable and to be expected that there is some drop in the performance of your solar panels. This should be clearly outlined in your warranty (e.g. most will guarantee 90% of stated output for the first ten years of operation, and 80% over a period of twenty-five years). Our solar panel testing service is therefore crucial to ensuring that you are getting full value for money from your investment, as you are able to know if your system is performing to expectations.
If you don’t have the relevant documentation that outlines the expectations as to how your home solar system should be performing, our Design Consultation service can help. We can collect and collate information that provides you with a comprehensive collection of design documents to enable you to monitor the ongoing performance of your system.
