Repairs for existing solar PV systems
Tell us what has changed with your system and we'll help you arrange a repair assessment with an independent technician.
When a solar system stops producing normally, the visible panels are only one part of the picture. The fault may be in a module, connector, cable, isolator, inverter or another part of the installation. We take enquiries about all of these and pass them to an independent technician who can work through the possibilities carefully and identify what is actually causing the problem.
The independent technicians we work with help with systems that have stopped generating, are producing less than expected, have developed intermittent faults or show obvious signs of damage. The aim isn't to replace equipment unnecessarily — the technician will typically inspect the installation, explain what they find and recommend the repair that makes sense for the age and condition of the system.
Solar faults can appear as a complete shutdown, a gradual reduction in generation or a recurring issue that comes and goes. An independent technician will look at the symptoms in context, including recent weather, inverter information, visible damage and the condition of accessible electrical components.
If output has dropped more than you'd expect from weather or seasonal changes, the technician can investigate whether a system fault is limiting performance, including panel condition, inverter behaviour, string performance and accessible connections.
A system that appears completely dead may have a fault at the inverter, isolators, AC supply, DC side or elsewhere in the installation. A methodical check helps avoid replacing parts at random.
Some problems only appear under certain weather or generation conditions. Repeated dropouts, resets and warning messages can provide useful clues for the technician's diagnosis.
Strong winds, debris, water ingress and prolonged exposure can affect external solar components. Where weather damage is suspected, the technician can assess what's affected and whether parts can be repaired or replaced.
Older systems can continue generating well, but individual components may deteriorate over time. A technician can help distinguish a repairable component failure from broader age-related decline.
A generation problem doesn't automatically mean the panels have failed. The independent technician looks for the actual cause first.
Your original installer doesn't need to be involved. Enquiries about systems installed by other companies are welcome.
The technician will explain what's failed, what the repair involves and whether there are any other concerns worth knowing about.
Describe what your solar system is doing and we'll help match you with an independent technician.
Free — no obligation
Describe what you've noticed, such as lower generation, error messages, shutdowns, visible damage or changes in monitoring.
We pass your enquiry to an appropriate independent technician covering your area.
The technician assesses the relevant parts of the system and explains the sensible repair route.
Any repair, price and timescale is agreed directly between you and the technician before work goes ahead.
