Solar Inspections That Save: How Newy Solar Co Protects Your Investment
Introduction: Your Solar Power System Deserves Better Care
A solar power system isn’t just an energy solution—it’s an investment in your home or business. But like any system, it needs care to perform its best. At Newy Solar Co, we’ve seen it all: from solar defects and hotspots to wiring failures that jeopardize safety and efficiency. With our drone solar inspections, thermal imaging, and expert repairs, we provide comprehensive solutions for both residential and commercial solar systems across Newcastle, Maitland, and beyond.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through real-life inspection scenarios, highlight the risks of neglecting maintenance, and show how solar inspections are critical to protecting your investment.
1. A Real-Life Inspection: When Neglect Turns Dangerous
The Case of the Newcastle Pub
We recently conducted a routine solar inspection at a popular pub in Newcastle. What we found was alarming:
Severe Safety Hazards: Panels with hotspots were at risk of overheating, potentially leading to electrical fires.
Wiring Failures: Corroded and frayed wires were disrupting energy flow and creating significant safety risks.
Lost ROI: The system wasn’t delivering the expected energy output, costing the pub thousands in potential savings.
Compliance Issues: The lack of regular maintenance left the property non-compliant with insurance requirements, risking claim denial in case of damage.
How We Fixed It
Using our thermal imaging technology, we pinpointed the defects down to the exact panel. Our drone inspections allowed us to assess hard-to-reach areas without disrupting the property. After a thorough inspection, we were able to report factually on the system - picking up defects that can’t be seen with the naked eye and PROTECTING the customer from any dangerous faults that could have occurred.
Result? A path forward to rectification - through insurance, and other methods.
2. Why Solar Inspections Are Non-Negotiable
The Risks of Skipping Inspections
Neglecting regular solar system maintenance can lead to:
Underperformance: Faulty panels or wiring disrupt energy production.
Safety Hazards: Hotspots and defective wiring can lead to electrical fires.
Shortened Lifespan: Small issues, like debris buildup or corrosion, can escalate into bigger problems.
Voided Warranties: Manufacturers often require regular inspections to keep warranties valid.
Insurance Issues: Without proof of maintenance, insurers may deny claims related to solar defects.
