About This Service
Solar Repairs & Maintenance
A solar system is the one thing on a house that nobody looks at until the bill goes up. Panels have no moving parts, so people assume there is nothing to go wrong, and a system can sit at half output for a year before anyone notices. We repair and service solar across Murray Bridge and the Adelaide Hills, whoever installed it.
Most faults are electrical rather than structural. Isolators are the usual culprit: the rooftop DC isolator is the single most common failure point on Australian rooftops, because it sits in full sun and weather for a decade and the seals give up. After that it is DC connectors that were not properly crimped, water in a junction, a failed optimiser, or an inverter that has quietly dropped a string and kept running on the rest.
We are a licensed electrical contractor, licence PGE 160190, so the electrical side of a solar system is work we are licensed to do.
Diagnosis is the part that matters. An inverter reporting an earth fault tells you something is wrong, not where. We test string by string, check the isolators and connections, measure what each part of the array is actually producing, and compare that against what the system should produce for its size and orientation. That tells you whether you have a repair, a component replacement, or a system that was undersized from the day it went on.
We are a licensed electrical contractor, licence PGE 160190, so the electrical side of a solar system is work we are licensed to do. We also clean panels, which matters more here than it does in the city: dust off surrounding farmland builds up fast and a dirty array quietly loses output all year.
What We Offer
Solar Repairs & Maintenance at a Glance
How It Works
Our Process
From initial contact to completed job, here's what to expect.
Tell Us What You Are Seeing
An error code, a drop in output, or a bill that does not match what the system should be saving you. Any of those is enough to start with.
On-Site Testing
We test string by string, check isolators, connections and earthing, and measure what each part of the array is actually producing rather than what the inverter reports overall.
A Straight Answer
You get told what has failed, whether it is worth repairing, and what the system should be producing once it is right. If a component is at the end of its life we say so rather than patching it.
Repair and Retest
We complete the repair and retest the system so you can see the output has actually recovered, with a written record of what was tested and found.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you repair systems you did not install?
Yes, and it is most of what we do. A lot of solar in this region was installed by companies that have since closed, which leaves owners with no one to call. We work on any brand and any age of system.
How do I know my solar is underperforming?
The clearest sign is your bill rather than your roof. If your electricity costs have climbed without your usage changing, the system is a good place to look. If you have monitoring, compare a clear day this month against a clear day a year ago. A system that has lost a string often keeps reporting, just at a lower number, which is why it goes unnoticed.
What usually fails first?
The rooftop DC isolator, by a wide margin. It is an outdoor plastic enclosure that spends ten years in full sun, and once water gets in it can trip the system or, in the worst cases, start a fire. Isolator failures are common enough in Australia that they have driven safety recalls.
Is servicing worth it if the system still works?
It is worth it if the system is more than about five years old, because the things that fail are the things you cannot see. Isolator seals, DC connections and mounting hardware degrade quietly. Finding a corroded connection during a service is a small job; finding it after it has arced is not.
Local Knowledge
Solar Repairs & Maintenance in Murray Bridge & Adelaide Hills
Solar went on roofs across the Murraylands and the Adelaide Hills in large numbers from about 2011, which means a lot of local systems are now past the age where the first components start to fail. The conditions here are hard on the parts that sit outside: summer heat, dust off surrounding farmland, and long runs of full sun with no shade to break it up. Isolators and connectors wear out faster in that than they do in a coastal suburb. Many of the companies that installed those systems no longer trade, so the owner is left with a system nobody has looked at in a decade and no one obvious to call.
Brands We Work With
Common Issues We Fix
- Rooftop DC isolator failure from years of sun and weather exposure
- Water ingress into isolators or junction boxes after storms
- DC connectors that were never properly crimped at installation
- Inverter earth fault alarms with no obvious cause
- A single string dropping out while the system keeps running at reduced output
- Failed optimisers or microinverters on individual panels
- Corroded or loose mounting hardware on older racking
- Systems left unsupported after the original installer closed
