Solar Inverter Repairs
Your inverter is the heart of your solar system responsible for converting the sun’s energy into usable electricity. It handles power surges and operates in extreme heat, which is why it’s usually the first component to fail.
If your inverter is faulty, your panels will still generate energy but you won’t be able to use it or send excess back to the grid. Most inverters display fault codes, so we can diagnose the issue quickly.
Overheating
If the inverter reaches its maximum operating temperature, it may shut down or throttle output.
Grid Faults
Electrical disturbances or voltage fluctuations from the grid can trigger persistent failures.
Faulty Installation
Incorrect inverter sizing or poor wiring leads to inefficiencies, repeat trips and early breakdowns.
Wear and Tear
Budget inverters typically last 5–10 years. Premium models can run 15+ years with proper maintenance.
Sturdy panels still degrade. We can tell you when to act.
Solar panels are designed to last 25+ years, but like anything exposed to the elements they degrade over time. Older panels — particularly those installed 10–15 years ago — degrade at 1–1.5% annually. That means a decade-old system may be operating at just 85% of its original output.
Modern panels degrade much more slowly — around 0.5% per year — so even after 25–30 years they still perform at 80–88% efficiency. If you’ve noticed your system producing less than before, panel degradation could be the cause.
Can solar panels be replaced?
We conduct onsite inspections using thermal imaging to accurately diagnose the condition and efficiency of your panels. If your current setup is still meeting your energy needs, replacing individual panels can restore lost efficiency and extend your system's lifespan.
When a full upgrade makes sense
If your energy demands have increased or your system is over 10 years old, a full upgrade may be the best option — maximising savings and unlocking modern, high-efficiency technology and battery readiness.

Solar repair questions, answered.
How quickly can you diagnose a fault?
Most inverter faults can be diagnosed onsite in a single visit thanks to fault-code readouts. We offer fixed-price diagnostics so you know the cost upfront — no surprises.
Do I need to replace my whole system, or just a part?
It depends on age, performance and your energy goals. If your system still meets your needs, replacing individual panels or your inverter is often the smart move. If it’s over 10 years old, a full upgrade may pay back faster than ongoing repairs.
Is the repair covered by warranty?
Many failures are covered by manufacturer warranty. Our team handles warranty claims on your behalf and supplies premium replacement parts when components are out of warranty.
What if my installer is no longer in business?
We routinely take over systems installed by companies that have closed. We’ll inspect, document and bring your system back to compliant, high-performing condition.
