Book help for an existing solar system
Service booking is for customers who already have solar equipment in place and need practical support. That may be routine maintenance, a panel wash, a fault check, inverter support, battery checks or a solar water heater inspection. We handle requests from Pretoria, Centurion, Johannesburg, Midrand, Durban, Cape Town and Bloemfontein, and we also assist small businesses that need reliable follow up work after an installation.
If your system is not performing as expected, do not leave it running for days hoping the issue clears itself. A loose connection, dusty panel surface, tripped protection device or water heater fault can affect the whole setup. Our team will first look at the symptoms you describe, then arrange the right kind of visit so the job is handled properly.
We work from Centurion in Pretoria and schedule support around site access, load-shedding times and the practical realities of working on rooftops, metres and distribution boards. That helps us arrive prepared, with the right tools and the right person for the job.
How to request a service visit
To book, use the enquiry form on our contact page and give us a clear description of the issue. The more detail you provide, the easier it is to plan the visit and avoid a wasted trip. Mention whether the system is for a house, office, workshop or retail space, and tell us what equipment is involved.
- Your suburb, town or city
- The type of support needed, such as cleaning, maintenance or fault finding
- Whether the issue affects panels, inverter, batteries or the solar water heater
- Any warning lights, unusual noises or error messages you have noticed
- Best times for access to the property
Once we have your details, we can advise whether the job is a simple callout, a planned maintenance visit or a more detailed inspection. In some cases a remote discussion is enough to confirm the next step. In others, we need to inspect the system on site and test components properly.
What happens during a support callout
When the technician arrives, the first step is to confirm the problem and check the condition of the installation. That may include a visual inspection of the panels, cables, brackets, isolators, inverter position and battery area, as well as the solar water heating components where fitted. The aim is to find the cause not just the symptom.
Depending on what we find, the visit may include tightening connections, cleaning panel surfaces, checking wiring paths, testing operation after load-shedding, or tracing a fault in the electrical integration. If the issue is related to a water heater, we may check controls, circulation paths, mounting and general system condition.
Electrical work is carried out by qualified installers. Any repair or adjustment is done with care, and the system is then checked again to confirm it is operating as expected. We do not just switch it back on and walk away, it will be checked and re-tested so you know what has been done.
Cleaning and maintenance for better day to day use
Panels in Pretoria, Gauteng and along the coast can collect dust, bird droppings and salt in a short time. In dry inland areas, fine dust can build up after windy days. That reduces the amount of sunlight reaching the cells, so regular cleaning matters. Our panel cleaning service is done carefully, using suitable methods for the equipment and roof access.
Routine maintenance can also help with early warning signs that are easy to miss. We look for loose fittings, water ingress, worn insulation, corrosion and signs of heat stress on connections. On battery systems, we check the installation area and general condition so the equipment stays tidy and safe.
- Check for visible dirt, damage or shading
- Confirm brackets and mounting points are sound
- Inspect cables, switches and isolators
- Review battery area condition and airflow
- Test operation after maintenance work is complete
If your system is used daily, especially during load-shedding, maintenance becomes even more important. Small issues tend to show up when demand is high and that is when you want the system ready.
Solar water heater support for homes and businesses
Solar water heaters need their own kind of care, especially where water quality, roof exposure and daily use all affect performance. In older suburbs and dense urban areas, owners often notice changes in water temperature or flow before they see any visible fault. That is why a proper inspection matters.
We assist with water heater installation follow up, fault finding and maintenance for homes, guest houses, salons, workshops and small commercial sites. If the water is not heating properly, the issue may be electrical, mechanical or related to the circulation setup. Our specialists check the system methodically so the root problem can be identified.
For sites in coastal areas such as Durban and Cape Town, corrosion and weather exposure need special attention. In Pretoria and Johannesburg, scale and dust can also affect long term performance. A scheduled service helps keep the unit in working order and reduces avoidable callouts later on.
Before we come out to site
A little preparation helps the visit go smoothly. Please make sure we can access the equipment area, roof entry point and any relevant electrical boards. If the system is on a business site, let the person in charge know that the installer may need entry to plant rooms, service corridors or protected areas. Clear access to the inverter, batteries and DB board lets the installer start work as soon as they arrive.
- Keep the area around the inverter and batteries clear
- Make sure someone on site knows where the main isolators are
- Tell us about any recent storms, roof work or electrical faults
- Let us know if there are access rules for estates, body corporates or municipal sites
You do not need to identify the fault before contacting us. Just explain what you have noticed and when it started. We can work from there and decide whether the next step is a service visit, a fault check or a more detailed inspection.
