A solar system tailored to your energy needs should be reducing your electricity bills by 60-90% (even more with a battery).
If this is not the case, your system could have a fault that needs repairing.
At SEA we offer solar test and inspections to assess the performance of your solar system. We inspect your panels, the inverter, all wiring and utilise thermal imaging and resistance testing to gain a comprehensive understanding of where any faults may be present.
This allows us to advise you on your options moving forward which can range from:
- Componentry repairs or replacements;
- Inverter repairs or replacements;
- Solar warranty claims;
- Solar system replacements.
Solar systems are incredibly durable and built to offer long term financial savings with solar panels themselves lasting 40+ years. If you believe your system is underperforming it is crucial to have it inspected early on so that you can get back to saving those precious dollars.
Solar System Replacements
If you have a solar system that is 10 years or older, it may no longer be able to generate enough electricity to meet your needs.
This can be due to:
1. Solar systems 10 years ago were far more expensive so system sizes were typically smaller.
2. Older solar panel technology degrades at a far faster rate than the solar panel technology we have today.
This means that if you have an older solar system, it may need additional panels added to it or a system replacement to ensure you are enjoying the savings solar systems should be offering you.
We recommend that systems more than 10 years old have a thorough safety and maintenance check to ensure they are working safely and at their full potential.
solar Inverter Repairs & Replacements
Your inverter is the key to transferring sunlight into usable energy, transforming the direct current electricity (DC) into alternating current electricity (AC). AC current is what is required for your household circuitry.
Should your inverter malfunction, the energy generated by your panels will not be accessible for use by household circuits or to feed back into the grid.
Solar inverter repairs can sometimes be as simple as a fuse replacement or in other cases full inverter replacements may be necessary.
Replacement of Damaged solar Components
Malfunctioning control panels, worn out terminals, corrosion in panels, electrical faults and more can cause various issues with your solar system. Worn out terminals especially are a huge fire risk and pose a danger to your home if not replaced.
To ensure your system is running safely we recommend solar systems over 8 years old are regularly inspected.
