There is no better preventative maintenance survey available — giving you the confidence that your solar system is safe, efficient, and delivering the savings it should.

⚠️ Beware: DC Isolators and Solar PV Fire Risk : The Hidden Danger in Solar PV Systems

Independent government-backed investigations (BEIS / BRE, 2017–2018) have shown that DC isolators and DC connections are among the leading causes of fires in solar PV systems.
These switches — designed to disconnect the solar panels from the inverter — can, if poor-quality or badly installed, overheat and arc, turning into ignition points.

🔥 The evidence shows that many PV fires have started at DC isolators, connectors, or cables due to arcing faults.

Thermal Imaging for Solar Systems

Thermal imaging cameras are a powerful tool for identifying faults in solar PV systems. By detecting infrared heat signatures, they make invisible problems visible — showing hot spots in DC switches, connectors, cabling, and other components that may otherwise go unnoticed.

🔍 What We Look For

  • DC Switches & Isolators – poor contacts or wear leading to overheating

  • Cabling & Connectors – loose or corroded joins creating resistance

  • Fuse Holders & Protection Devices – excess heat at stress points

  • Distribution Boxes – uneven loads or damaged contacts
