Which components of a solar system can we repair?

Solar systems include several important components that can develop faults over time. Our technicians can diagnose and repair a wide range of solar system issues.

Solar panel repairs

Damaged or faulty solar panels can reduce your system’s energy output and affect overall performance.

Our solar panel repair services can assist with issues including:

  • Cracks and physical damage: Cracked glass, damaged cells or general wear can affect how effectively your panels generate energy.
  • Wiring issues: Loose, damaged or corroded connections can impact performance and create potential safety concerns.
  • Hotspots and performance issues: Areas of overheating or reduced panel performance can indicate underlying problems requiring attention.
  • System performance concerns: If your system is no longer producing the energy you expect, we can inspect the cause and recommend the appropriate solution.

Solar inverter repairs

Your inverter plays a critical role in converting solar energy into usable electricity. When your inverter develops a fault, your entire system’s performance can be affected.

Common inverter issues we can help with include:

  • Error messages and faults: We can diagnose inverter warnings, error codes and performance issues.
  • Overheating problems: Poor ventilation, component faults or environmental factors can cause inverter overheating.
  • Component failures: We can assess damaged inverter components and determine whether repair or replacement is required.
  • Inverter replacement advice: If your inverter cannot be repaired, we can provide advice and options for replacing it.

Solar battery repairs

Solar batteries help store excess energy from your solar system, but faults can affect their ability to charge, store and discharge energy correctly.

Our technicians can assist with:

  • Battery performance issues: We can assess reduced capacity, inconsistent performance and charging problems.
  • Charging and discharge faults: Wiring issues, degraded components or system faults may impact battery operation.
  • Component diagnosis: We can identify the source of battery issues and recommend the appropriate solution.

Frequently asked questions

Solar panel repairs typically involve fixing any issues or faults that are affecting the performance of a solar energy system in a residence or commercial property.
Unless an electrician has the proper solar accreditation, they are not qualified to fix solar panels. Our fully licensed and qualified team has the expertise required for safe and effective solar repairs.
A broken solar panel can still generate electricity, but with much less efficiency. Depending on the extent of the damage and how the system has been set up, a broken panel can lead to serious risks, such as fires and electrocution hazards. If one of your solar panels is broken, check your warranty policy and call an appropriate, qualified professional for the necessary repairs or replacement.
Damaged solar panels can feature signs like:
  • Visible physical damage: Many types of damage to your panels will be visible as cracks, chips on the frame or discolouration.
  • Hot spots: Some areas on your solar panels may become overheated due to issues with electrical output caused by defects or shading. These “hot spots” may look like brown or discoloured spots to the naked eye.
  • System alerts: If there is some sort of damage or other issue, many systems will alert you through remote monitoring software or warning lights.
  • Micro-cracks: Your panels may have tiny fractures too small to see with the naked eye. These micro-cracks can be spotted by professional technicians and can lead to further damage if they are not addressed.
  • Snail trails: You may notice thin, dark lines along the surface of your solar panels. These snail trails can be an underlying sign of micro-cracks or substances seeping past the surface of your panels.
  • Inverter issues: The solar inverter is a crucial component for your solar system. Signs that it may be damaged or defective include warning alerts, a burning smell, buzzing or humming noises and lower energy generation.
Typically, a solar inverter lasts between 10 and 15 years. This is less than the average lifespan of a solar panel. However, a solar inverter’s lifespan can vary based on factors such as the type of inverter, the inverter quality, the environment it’s placed in and how well it’s maintained. Different types of inverters can also have longer lifespans. Microinverters have an average lifespan of 20-25 years, while hybrid, off-grid and string inverters usually last a standard 10-15 years.
Solar panel repairs must only be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure personal safety and repair quality. This is because solar repairs typically require expertise in electrical faults, safety hazards, panel replacement and rewiring.
