Solar Repairs & Servicing

Solar not performing like it used to?

Solar is not a fit-and-forget appliance. Panels get dirty, inverters fault, isolators fail in the SA sun, and output quietly drops off long before most owners notice. If your bills have crept back up or your monitoring app is showing less than it should, something is wrong, and it is usually fixable. We diagnose the cause and put it right, so your system earns what it was installed to earn.

Servicing and health checks

A periodic health check catches small problems before they become expensive ones and keeps your system producing at its best. As a rough guide we suggest a health check every couple of years, and sooner if output has dropped. We inspect the panels, connections, isolators and switchboard, check the inverter and its readings, and confirm the whole system is operating safely and to standard. Where an inverter has reached the end of its life we can supply and replace it, and we can check and clean panels where soiling is dragging output down. If a system is ageing, it can also be the right moment to add battery storage or step up to a larger solar system.

We service systems other installers put in

Plenty of solar in this region was sold by installers who have since disappeared, gone interstate or simply do not answer the phone. That leaves owners stuck when something goes wrong. We are local, we are here, and we happily service and repair systems we did not install right across the Yorke Peninsula and Mid-North. If your original installer is nowhere to be found, we are the local team that will actually turn up.

Usually fixable

Common faults we fix

  • Inverter faults and errors Error codes, dropouts and complete inverter failure, the most common reason a system stops producing.
  • Underperformance Output lower than it should be, from soiling, shading, a failing panel or a degraded connection.
  • Isolator and switch issues Rooftop and DC isolators are a known weak point in the Australian climate and a frequent fault.
  • Tripping and safety issues Systems that trip the switchboard or throw safety-switch faults.
  • Monitoring dropouts A system that has stopped reporting, so you have no idea whether it is even working.

Common solar panel repairs: symptom, likely cause and fix

Symptom Likely cause What we do
System producing nothing, monitoring app dark Inverter fault or complete inverter failure Diagnose the inverter, then repair or replace it
Output lower than it used to be Panel soiling, shading, a failing panel or a degraded connection Test the strings, clean or replace, restore output
System keeps tripping the switchboard Faulty isolator, wiring fault or a failing component Trace the fault and repair it to standard
Red light or error code on the inverter Inverter error, grid or isolation fault Read the code, find the root cause and fix it
No data in your monitoring app Lost Wi-Fi link, or a real fault sitting behind it Reconnect monitoring and confirm nothing is masked

Symptoms can share causes, so we always confirm the actual fault on site before we quote a repair.

How we work

Our process

  1. Diagnose

    We inspect the system and its monitoring, identify the fault or the cause of underperformance, and explain it in plain terms.

  2. Repair or service

    We fix the fault, replace what needs replacing, or carry out a full health check and clean.

  3. Verify and hand over

    We confirm the system is producing and operating safely, and leave you knowing where it stands.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

The most common cause is an inverter fault, shown as an error code or a system that has simply gone dark, but tripped isolators, a failed panel, switchboard issues or a lost monitoring connection can all be to blame. We diagnose the actual cause rather than guess, then tell you what it needs and what it will cost to put right.
