The honest overview

If your monitoring app shows lower-than-expected generation, your inverter is showing fault codes, or your system has stopped exporting entirely, the cause is usually one of: a tripped DC isolator, a failed inverter, a corroded MC4 connector, a degraded panel, or a meter / monitoring issue. Our referred repair specialists carry the test gear (clamp meters, thermal cameras, IV curve tracers) to diagnose the actual problem in a single visit.

Solar Repairs: questions

My original installer is no longer trading. Can the repair specialist still claim warranty?

Often yes - panel and inverter warranties are with the manufacturer, not the installer. Our referred specialists handle the manufacturer claim for you. Installation warranty (the workmanship side) is harder to claim if the original installer is gone.

How do I know if it's the inverter or a panel?

Inverter faults usually show as an error code or zero output. Panel issues usually show as gradual underperformance over weeks or months. The diagnostic visit confirms which.

Is it worth replacing a 10-year-old inverter or just replacing the whole system?

If your panels are still in warranty and producing well, replacing just the inverter ($2,000 - $3,500) is much cheaper than a new full system. If your panels are also 10+ years and the system is small (<5kW), a full replacement often pays itself back faster.
