FAQ

Service / Repair Hub Questions

Simple answers on inspection scope, line-item pricing, and non-standalone remedial services.

Full System Health Checks

Yes. The Solar PV System Health Check (Inspection + Report) is the primary find-and-report service. Repairs are scoped and quoted separately.

Roofing Services

No. Roofing Repairs are only provided within existing solar repair projects or as remedial works identified in a Blue Ape Health Check report.

Repairs and Faults

Panel fault tracing, repair/replacement recommendation, panel-side wiring repairs, post-repair testing, and a short written repair summary. This is for known panel faults, not a full system inspection.

Upgrades and Relocations

Yes, it can. If you receive FIT payments, adding panels may affect eligibility or payment level. Read our FIT guidance blog before proceeding.

No. Consumer Unit Replacement is only provided as part of solar repair/upgrade works or as remedial works identified in a Blue Ape Health Check report.

General Questions

Quote Required means the work is delivered only as part of other contracted works or as remedial works identified in a Blue Ape Health Check report. It is not a standalone call-out service.

EICR is listed from £325 + VAT and includes testing for up to 6 circuits. Additional circuits are billed at £25 each.

Out of area travel is shown as a separate line item from price list + VAT where applicable, so pricing remains transparent.
