benefits of taking out a domestic maintenance package

Regular solar panel maintenance helps improve system performance, extend equipment lifespan, and ensure your panels continue generating energy efficiently throughout the year.

Insurance may request a maintenance package be in place for domestic but always require one for commercial.

Dirt, debris, bird droppings, and environmental build-up can gradually reduce solar panel efficiency over time. Regular solar panel cleaning and maintenance helps your system generate energy more effectively, improving overall performance and helping you get the most from your solar investment.
Routine solar panel servicing and inspections with Glo can help identify minor issues before they become larger problems. Maintaining your system properly helps protect components, support long-term reliability, and extend the lifespan of your solar panels and inverter equipment.
Our maintenance plans provide straightforward ongoing support for your solar system, including cleaning, inspections, and performance checks. Whether your Devon property is inland, rural, or coastal, we help keep your panels operating safely and efficiently without the stress of managing maintenance yourself.

I can’t recommend Glo Renewables highly enough. I had already received quotes from other companies but Glo Renewables beat them all hands down and their service is second to none. I’m so grateful the company was recommended to me by my friends.

frequently asked questions

your maintenance questions answered

Here are some of the most common questions we receive about solar panel maintenance, cleaning, inspections, and servicing across Devon.

How often should solar panels be cleaned and maintained?

Most solar panel systems benefit from regular inspections and cleaning to help maintain efficiency and long-term performance. The right maintenance schedule depends on your location, roofposition, nearby trees, bird activity, and  exposure to coastal salt air.

Homes in coastal areas such as Torquay, Paignton, Exmouth, Teignmouth, Plymouth, and other parts of South Devon may require more frequent solar panel cleaning due to salt and debris build-up.

We typically recommend annual or biannual solar panel maintenance for most domestic systems, with more regular cleaning for properties exposed to heavy dirt, dust, or shading.

Our solar panel maintenance services can include visual inspections, performance checks,system health monitoring, panel cleaning  guidance, and checks for debris, loose fittings, or signs of reduced energy output.

Regular solar servicing helps identify potential issues early and supports safe, efficient system operation throughout the year.

We provide solar panel maintenance services across Totnes, Exeter, Newton Abbot, Torbay, Plymouth, and surrounding areas throughout Devon.

Yes. Dirt, bird droppings, moss, leaves, and other debris can reduce solar panel efficiency by blocking sunlight from reaching the panels properly.

Regular solar panel cleaning can help maintain energy production and improve overall system performance, particularly on properties located near trees, farmland, busy roads, or coastal environments.

Monitoring systems can also help identify unexpected drops in solar energy generation that may indicate cleaning or maintenance is required.

Solar panels are designed to withstand normal UK weather conditions including rain, wind, and snow. However, extreme weather, storm debris, or long-term exposure to harsh coastal conditions can sometimes impact performance or cause damage.

Regular inspections help identify issues such as cracked panels, damaged mounting systems, loose connections, or reduced output following severe weather.

Solar panel maintenance is especially important for properties in exposed coastal and rural parts of Devon.

Professional solar panel servicing helps ensure your system continues operating safely and efficiently over time.

Regular inspections can help detect loose components, wiring issues, reduced panel performance, or inverter faults before they become larger problems.

Professional maintenance also helps support the long-term lifespan and reliability of your solar panel system.

Yes. Many solar panel systems include monitoring apps or generation tracking that allow homeowners to monitor solar panel performance and daily energy production.A sudden drop in output may indicate shading, dirt accumulation, equipment faults, or other maintenance issues requiring attention.

Regular monitoring combined with scheduled servicing helps maintain consistent solar energy generation throughout the year.

Yes. Glo Renewables provides solar panel maintenance, inspections, and servicing for domestic solar systems across Devon, including Totnes, Exeter, Newton Abbot, Torquay, Paignton, Ivybridge, Plymouth, Exmouth, Tavistock, and surrounding areas.

The whole process was polite, well communicated and managed. All our questions were answered exceptionally well with accurate information. It wasn’t a simple install for us, but all our issues were dealt with professionally by the team of Glo-Renewables as they came across them. The install team worked very well together and the install was top-notch. We were left with a quality install and all the certifications that we needed to support our installation, all building and electrical certificates have been supplied without asking. We Highly recommend Glo-renewables!

Glo have been absolutely excellent. Ours was a rather complicated installation - Glo applied their minds to it and came up with a very good solution.
We thought their staff were great on site too. Highly recommended
Review from Google
I can't recommend Glo Renewables enough. From the initial visit to install to post install check-in they have been so knowledgeable, professional and a joy to deal with. The install team were so polite, clean and tidy. We are now a couple of months of post install and the solar is covering all our electricity needs (including running an electric car) and we are exporting to the gird. If you are thinking of solar give them a call
Review from Google
After ten years loyal service my inverter decided to give up in hot this year’s hot weather.  Great if you like the smell of burning transformer might be worth checking yours.  I called a few different companies who either never bothered to reply or wanted to sell me a new system with batteries, neither of which I wanted or needed.

Then I found Glo Renewables Ltd.  Matthew, my first point of contact was great, really helpful and arranged for Chris the engineer to fit the new inverter shortly after.  He arrived at nine in the morning and was finished by midday and a really nice bloke at that.

We all know it’s not that easy to find trades these days that are not only good at what they do but also understand the importance of great customer service at a realistic price.  As a company I cannot recommend Glo Renewables highly enough.

Bottom line would I use them again?  Defiantly!

Review from Google
I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from Glo Renewable Energy. From the initial consultation through to the installation and commissioning of my solar PV and battery storage system, the entire process was handled professionally and efficiently.

The team took the time to explain the different system options, answered every question thoroughly, and designed a solution that was tailored to my home’s energy needs rather than simply trying to sell the most expensive package. Communication was excellent throughout, with clear timelines and regular updates.

The installation team were punctual, friendly, and highly skilled. They worked neatly, treated my property with respect, and completed the installation to an exceptionally high standard. Everything was left clean and tidy, and they made sure I understood exactly how to monitor and get the most from my new PV and battery system before they left.

The quality of the workmanship is outstanding, and it’s reassuring to know the system has been installed by people who genuinely care about doing the job properly. It’s already satisfying to see my home generating its own electricity and storing excess energy for later use.

If you’re considering solar panels or battery storage, I would have no hesitation in recommending Glo Renewable Energy. Their professionalism, technical expertise, customer service, and attention to detail were first class from start to finish. An excellent local company that deserves every one of its five stars.

Highly recommended- excellent friendly, reliable & professional guys all round. Great App to understand what’s happening with the solar. Happy to show anyone what they’ve completed at our house .
Review from Google
Had solar fitted by Glo Renewables and honestly can't fault them. They came out to survey the roof and knew exactly what they were talking about, they worked around our opening times too. Even the export payment paperwork landed in my inbox before I'd thought to chase it. Service, communication and everything in between was spot on. In fact I was that happy with it all, I'm now getting them to do my house as well. Says it all really.

Now added extra panels and an additional battery pack. All installed without fuss and working well. The Glo team were as helpful as ever. Very genuine company, would recommend anyone looking for a solar solution to contact Glo for a quote.
