You'll focus on preventative and corrective maintenance of solar PV systems, ensuring optimal uptime and performance. From advanced fault-finding on LV systems to inspecting inverters, combiner boxes, switchgear and distribution boards, your technical expertise will keep systems running efficiently.

This role is less about installation and more about long-term system care and client satisfaction.
