What the Solar + Active Monitoring Service delivers
Our active monitoring service watches your solar PV system's alarms and operational data daily on your behalf. When something goes wrong, we respond within 1 hour during business hours rather than waiting for you to notice.
Standard Solar + Active Monitoring Service scope
Standard monitoring service: daily portal review by our monitoring team; immediate response (within 1 hour during business hours) on any high-priority alarm; remote diagnostic and resolution where possible; on-site visit dispatch within 24 hours where required; monthly performance reports; annual deep performance review with optimisation recommendations.
Economics in 2026 prices
Service cost: £200-£600/year depending on system size and required response SLA. ROI: a single missed inverter trip lasting 30 days on a 200 kW system loses approximately 16,000 kWh worth £3,500-£4,500 in generation. Monitoring service pays for itself in fault-detection alone. Plus peace of mind for critical-load installations and supplier-audit positioning value.
Why we deliver as a single project
The Solar + Active Monitoring Service works because all components are designed, procured, and installed as one coordinated project. Single G99 grid connection application. Single monitoring portal. Single set of warranties. Single contractual relationship. Compared to running multiple separate projects, the bundled approach saves £20,000-£60,000 in mobilisation overhead alone.

Common questions
What's the total capex for a typical Solar + Active Monitoring Service?
Varies by farm scale. Most installs range £80,000-£500,000+. We deliver fixed-price proposals within 7 working days of receiving meter data.
Can the Solar + Active Monitoring Service be financed?
Yes — asset finance over 5-10 years for the entire bundle is typically EBITDA-positive from month one for installs with strong daytime baseload. PPA available for systems above 250 kW. Capital purchase with 100% AIA for incorporated farms.
How long does the bundle take from contract to commissioning?
Most bundles complete in 6-9 months from contract signature. The longest item is typically DNO G99 grid connection (6-14 months on most rural feeders, running in parallel). Physical install on-site is typically 4-8 weeks.
Is the bundle eligible for AIA tax relief?
Plant and machinery components (panels, inverters, batteries, EV chargers, heat pump units) are 100% AIA eligible up to the £1m annual cap. Building fabric (re-roofing, structural reinforcement) typically isn't but may have other tax treatment. We provide itemised invoices supporting clean accountant claim.
