Your solar system
works best when
someone’s watching over it.
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’t
maintain 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%
of solar faults go undetected
for over a year before the homeowner notices something is wrong. By that time the generation loss is significant.
25yr
System lifespan. A plan protects the whole thing.
10%
Output restored on average after a clean and check.

Everything that matters.
Nothing that doesn’t.
Every plan is built around the things that actually protect your system — not a list of impressive-sounding extras that add nothing.
Annual Solar MOT
Full physical inspection every year — panels, connections, inverter, wiring, mounting. Not a glance at the app.
Priority callout response
Full physical inspection every year — panels, connections, inverter, wiring, mounting. Not a glance at the app.
Minor repairs included
Loose connections, inverter resets, small component replacements — covered in the plan. No surprise invoices for small jobs.
Annual inspection certificate
Issued after every MOT visit. Useful for insurance, property sale and manufacturer warranty claims.
Performance review
We compare your actual generation against expected output for your system, roof and location. If you’re underperforming, we’ll find out why.
Regulation compliance check
BS 7671 Amendment 3 surge protection requirements reviewed on every visit. We’ll flag anything that needs updating.
Direct engineer contact
You get a direct number. Not a call centre, not a ticket system. The engineers who know your system, directly reachable.
Transferable to new owner
Selling your home? The plan transfers. It’s a genuine selling point — and buyers notice a maintained system.

Performance Check
The app said everything was fine. The annual visit said otherwise.
On a standard annual MOT visit for a plan customer in Dorset, our engineer found six panels with unseated MC4 connectors — a fault at original installation by another company.
The Solax app had been reporting normal generation throughout. The system was running at 60% capacity. No alert, no error, nothing. The homeowner had no idea.
We reconnected the panels, fitted missing surge protection, installed bird guard around the perimeter and issued a certificate. System now at 100% expected output.
“
I thought something felt off but the app showed everything as fine. Turns out six panels had never been connected properly since day one. MiniGrid found it in the first hour. I’m just glad I finally called someone.

Amazing support, understanding and all the questions we had Alex answered very professionally.
Original installer had gone bust, I asked MiniGrid to give the system a check over for peace of mind. Their engineer identified a couple of serious cabling errors which I had them resolve quickly.
