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.
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
-
Diagnose
We inspect the system and its monitoring, identify the fault or the cause of underperformance, and explain it in plain terms.
-
Repair or service
We fix the fault, replace what needs replacing, or carry out a full health check and clean.
-
Verify and hand over
We confirm the system is producing and operating safely, and leave you knowing where it stands.
