Operations & Maintenance

The reliability of Solar PV systems is exceptional, which is why having a maintenance contract for solar panels is a wise decision.

With your busy everyday schedule, it’s easy to forget that your solar panels are continuously generating electricity for free. Despite their low-maintenance nature, they still require some care to ensure they’re producing electricity at their highest efficiency.

Your solar panel system could continue to function without regular inspection or upkeep. However, to ensure it performs optimally and lasts longer, regular inspections are recommended. ALKAG Electrical Ltd provides a comprehensive range of inspection and testing services, from visual checks conducted by our skilled installers to electrical circuit testing. Furthermore, it’s important to clean the system at least once or twice annually to maintain its efficiency. We also provide services to prevent bird nesting on your solar panels. This regular maintenance could help detect issues of underperformance or major equipment breakdowns. If any such issues arise, ALKAG Ltd is ready to propose and execute the necessary corrective actions.

Every system needs something different, so here’s an illustration of the services that we can provide for you:

Your Carbon Footprint...

What is a carbon footprint?

Simply put, a carbon footprint is a way to measure the environmental impact created by individuals, households, products, or businesses. This impact is quantified in terms of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, among others, that we produce through various activities. An interesting fact is that the global average carbon footprint is approximately 4,000 kg of carbon dioxide per individual, while in the UK, that figure increases to nearly 10,000 kg per person!

How can you reduce yours?

We have a variety of suggestions for you on how to decrease your carbon emissions, and we’re ready to share some easy tactics that can have an immediate effect on your carbon footprint, beginning right now.

Heating & hot water – By simply reducing your heating temperature by 1 degree, you could save up to 10 percent on your heating bills, which equates to a yearly saving of around £85. This easy step also contributes to lessening your environmental impact. Furthermore, replacing your current boiler with a more energy-efficient version can greatly reduce your overall energy consumption.
Appliances – Don't forget to turn off your appliances completely instead of leaving them on standby, as they still draw power. Also, ensure you select appliances that have favorable energy efficiency ratings.
Utilities – You might want to think about changing your energy supplier. It's a smart move that could lower your costs. Plus, you could earn discounts if you choose to receive your bills electronically, which also benefits the environment by minimizing the use of paper.
Saving water – The Energy Savings Trust data reveals that about £80 per year, which is 15% of an average gas-heated home's heating bill, is spent on warming water for things like showers and hot water taps. You can reduce your energy bills, lessen your energy usage, and make a positive impact on the environment by decreasing your water usage.
Lighting –Just by switching off lights when they're not needed, you can contribute to energy conservation. Moreover, replacing traditional light bulbs with LED or CFL alternatives can enhance this effect even more.
Smart meters – They provide a straightforward solution to keep an eye on your home's energy consumption without the need for manual meter readings. By gaining insights into your energy usage, you can modify your energy habits, helping you save money and also reduce your contribution to carbon emissions.

Carbon Footprint Reduction

Due to recent government regulations, minimizing carbon emissions has become a primary goal for many large entities. No matter the size of your organization or if your goal is just to decrease energy usage, there are several strategies you can use.

LED lights are now more economically viable and are often used in new setups. You can get replacement bulbs and fixtures that provide the same lighting as the old ones but with additional energy-saving features. You can also save energy by installing controls for heat and light, and utilizing more energy-efficient machines. ALKAG Electrical Ltd is ready to provide you with complete design and installation services to better manage and use energy.
