Solar Repairs

Specialist solar technicians who diagnose faults on any brand of solar system and advise the best path to getting it running again.

Solar repairs for any brand

Faulty solar systems have become a common occurrence around Brisbane over the last few years. There’s been a fair share of start-up solar companies going under and leaving customers stranded when it comes to warranty. We have specialist solar technicians who can diagnose faults on any solar system, no matter the brand.

  • Specialist solar technicians, any brand
  • Help for systems whose installer has gone under
  • Honest diagnosis before any repair
  • Quality-focused, not just cheapest fix

Quality over price

We understand solar is a competitive market, but we try not to focus on price — we focus on quality. A good solar system should last well past 15 years with minor maintenance, so if yours is underperforming it’s usually worth having it checked rather than written off.

Diagnose, then advise

Our technicians diagnose the fault and then advise you on the best path to getting your system repaired — honest guidance rather than guesswork, so you can make an informed decision.

Solar Repairs FAQ

Your solar repairs questions, answered

Can you repair any brand of solar system?+
Yes. We have specialist solar technicians who can diagnose faults on a solar system no matter what brand it is. Once the fault is identified we advise you on the best path to getting the system repaired, so you get clear guidance rather than guesswork.
My solar company has gone out of business — can you still help?+
Yes. There has been a fair share of start-up solar companies going under and leaving customers stranded when it comes to warranty and support. We regularly help people in exactly that position — our technicians can assess the system, diagnose the fault and advise the best way forward even if the original installer is no longer around.
How do you diagnose a solar fault?+
Our specialist solar technicians inspect and test the system to identify what is actually going wrong. Faulty solar systems have become a common occurrence around Brisbane in recent years, and a proper diagnosis is the only reliable way to know whether the issue is with a panel, the inverter, wiring or something else. From there we recommend the best path to repair.
How long should a solar system last?+
A good solar system should last well past 15 years with minor maintenance. If a system is underperforming or failing well before that, it is usually worth having it checked rather than written off. We can assess the condition and tell you honestly what shape it is in.
Should I repair my solar system or replace it?+
That depends on the fault and the age and condition of the system. Because a good system should last past 15 years, many systems are well worth repairing. We diagnose the issue first and then give you honest advice on whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense for your situation.
How quickly should I get a solar fault looked at?+
It is worth acting reasonably promptly. A small fault left unchecked can mean months of reduced generation and higher bills, and in some cases a developing issue can get worse. If you suspect your system is not performing as it should, contact us and we will arrange to diagnose it.
How do I arrange a solar repair?+
Get in touch and describe what you are seeing — reduced output, an inverter fault light, or anything unusual. We will arrange for a specialist technician to diagnose the system and then advise you on the best path to getting it repaired.
