Solar Maintenance

Local Power offers you over 16 years experience in successfully installing and maintaining Solar PV systems. Over this time we have developed high-quality and practical maintenance services which have helped over a thousand households reduce their electricity costs by ensuring their Solar PV investment continues to perform.

Cleaning and Performance Check
While a heavy rain does a great job in cleaning solar panels, after 4 or 5 years it’s probably time for a professional clean to remove any caked on dust and grime, bird and bat droppings, as well as lichen.

Not sure your solar PV system is generating as expected?  A typical system clean and written performance check costs between $253-$298. By taking solar readings a few days apart, we can compare your generation to dozens of other local systems we monitor, to see how your system is performing.  We also review any recent bills.  If there are any concerns, we will recommend the best course of action to improve your generation.
 
Energy makeover
Once you’ve installed solar, the next step is to continue to improve the energy efficiency of your home.  We can help with hot water system optimisation as there are several options that work in well together with your Solar PV.   Efficient shower heads can also substantially reduce your water and electricity use.   6-star air-conditioners are now available using much less electricity than large ducted systems.

We can do a fixed price energy makeover report for $395 giving you several recommendations.  We can also manage the quote process for an additional $195.

Retailer review
Navigating all the electricity plans from retailers is a minefield. One retailer has 36 different plans for the Energex region in Queensland alone.  For $110 let us review your recent bills and recommend a retailer change (or retailer plan change) that will save you more than $110/year.
