Independent solar inspection a second opinion that works for you
A fully independent review of your solar and battery system — not affiliated with your installer or manufacturer. Performance analysis, settings audit, and a written report suitable for disputes, solicitors, insurers, and pre-purchase decisions.
Performance data review, configuration audit, written report within 48 hours
Book remote inspection →Physical site visit — panels, wiring, installation quality — plus full data and configuration review
Book on-site inspection →What the inspection covers
Remote and on-site options cover different areas.
12+ months of generation and export data benchmarked against expected output for your system size and location.
Export limits, CT clamp settings, charge schedules, tariff alignment, and firmware version reviewed.
Charge and discharge patterns, depth of discharge, BMS events, and estimated remaining capacity.
Findings, evidence, and recommendations. Suitable for solicitors, insurers, and dispute resolution. Delivered within 48 hours.
Full performance, configuration, and battery review included as standard.
Panel condition, mounting, shading, and any visible physical defects documented.
DC and AC wiring, isolators, safety labelling, and electrical installation standards observed and documented.
Includes photographic evidence of physical observations alongside data analysis. Stronger evidence for disputes.
Who books an independent inspection
Is the solar system actually worth what's being added to the property price? Remote inspection gives you an independent answer before you exchange.
Was it installed correctly? Is it producing what it should? Independent evidence for solicitors, RECC, or dispute resolution services.
Independent documentation of what the system was producing before a claim event, and any evidence of damage or underperformance.
Was your system commissioned correctly? Many installations have settings errors, misconfigured export limits, or CT clamp reversals that cost money quietly.
How the inspection works
Select remote or on-site. Share read-only monitoring access and confirm the system details (brand, model, installation date). For on-site, we confirm a site visit date.
We review your data, configuration, and — for on-site — the physical installation. We document findings independently with no obligation to any manufacturer or installer narrative.
Independent written report covering all findings, evidence, and recommendations. Suitable for solicitors, insurers, or your own records.
If you want to discuss the report or understand specific findings, a follow-up call is available at no extra cost. We can also provide a separate remediation quote if faults are found.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. We are fully independent — not affiliated with any installer or manufacturer. The report documents what we observe in the data and configuration, and is suitable for solicitors, insurers, and dispute resolution services including RECC. It is not a court-admissible expert witness report, but it carries weight as independent professional evidence.
The remote inspection (£145) covers everything accessible via your monitoring platform — generation performance, battery health, settings, configuration quality. The on-site inspection (£295) adds a physical visit: panel condition, wiring quality, DC and AC installation, safety labelling, and electrical standards. If you need evidence of physical installation quality, choose on-site. For data and performance evidence, remote is usually sufficient.
Yes. As soon as you have temporary monitoring access from the current owner, we can inspect and report within 48 hours. If monitoring access isn't available, ask your solicitor to request it as part of due diligence. See also our guide for buyers of homes with solar.
No. We are independent engineers, not MCS-certified installers. MCS certification covers installer qualification and standards compliance. NICEIC is for electrical safety sign-off. Our inspection is performance and configuration focused — what is the system actually producing, how is it configured, and are there any problems? If you need formal MCS audit or NICEIC electrical sign-off, you need a separate qualified contractor.
All findings are documented in the report with recommendations. If there are settings issues, we'll flag them. If there are hardware faults that need repair, we can quote for a remote diagnostic or on-site repair — you're not committed to anything beyond the inspection.
