With 1 fire every 2 days, is your solar system a hidden liability
A professional survey today could be the smartest investment you make this year.
For many homeowners, installing solar panels feels like a ticket to lower bills and greener living. But without proper inspection and maintenance, that ticket could come with hidden risks.
That’s where Tincleton Solar Systems steps in — a specialist on a mission to uncover hidden dangers that could be costing you far more than you realise. A thorough solar-system survey could be the most important check you make this year.
Fires involving solar panels have increased dramatically in the United Kingdom outpacing the rate of new installations, according to analysis from QBE Insurance. The business insurer has revealed UK fire services attended 171 incidents involving a solar installation during 2024, up from 107 in 2022, and 128 in 2023. That is almost 1 fire every 2 days caused by faulty solar systems!
Aging systems, poor installation and degradation of cables and connectors are largely to blame.

A solar system is a mini power-station sitting on your roof. The most vulnerable parts are exposed to the elements 365 days a year.
Choosing a professional inspection is about more than just compliance — it’s about safeguarding your home, your investment and your peace of mind. A properly surveyed installation reduces risks of electrical faults or structural damage, can help avoid invalidating warranties, and ensures your system’s longevity.
In uncertain times of volatile energy prices and unpredictable weather, a safe, efficient and legally compliant solar system is more than a convenience — it’s a smart necessity. If you value safety, longevity and worry-free savings, trusting Tincleton Solar Systems with your survey, maintenance and installation isn’t optional — it’s essential.
