Two ways to go solar without touching your capital. Commercial finance and Power Purchase Agreements — both available across England & Wales. Own it. Or pay per unit. Either works.

A MegaCare maintenance plan gives you an annual Solar MOT, priority callout response, minor repairs included and a direct line to the engineers who know solar systems inside out. Solar panels don’tmaintain themselves.Nobody tells you that. The industry sells the install and moves on. What they don’t mention is that connections loosen, inverters develop silent faults, birds nest underneath, and efficiency quietly erodes — year after year, with nothing to alert you. A maintenance plan means someone is actively looking after your system on your behalf, every year, without you having to think about it. 60% […] - [Solar Panel Cleaning | Minigrid | Dorset](https://minigrid.co.uk/panel-cleaning/): Dirty panels are losing you money.Right now.

Most solar problems go unnoticed for months. Real-time monitoring catches faults before they cost you money — and alerts MiniGrid so we can act before you even know there’s a problem.

Nothing you don’t need. Works with most inverter brands. Not a MiniGrid install? No problem.
