Solar Panel Repair & Replacement
Including systems whose original installer is out of business. When the other guys throw in the towel, they call us.
The bill arrives before the symptom does
Most failing solar systems do not announce themselves. There is no alarm and nothing looks broken from the driveway. What happens instead is that production quietly falls off, you keep paying a normal-looking monthly bill, and then the annual true-up shows up with a number on it that does not make sense.
The solar industry has also churned hard. A great many California homeowners bought systems from companies that no longer exist, which leaves them holding equipment with a warranty nobody is answering and no obvious person to call.
The failure is often small. A couple of dead panels, one bad inverter, a failed optimizer, corroded connectors, or a tripped breaker nobody noticed. On some system architectures a single failed component drags down an entire string, so a minor fault produces a major loss.
Diagnose first, then quote
We test the system and find the actual fault before recommending anything. That means checking production at the panel level where the equipment supports it, testing string voltages, inspecting the inverter, and confirming the system is communicating and reporting honestly.
The goal is a real repair. Replacing a few panels and an inverter is dramatically cheaper than replacing a system, and most of the time it fully restores production. We will tell you plainly if a system is genuinely at the end of its life — but that is a conclusion, not an opening pitch.
We take on orphaned systems regardless of who installed them. Being a C-10 electrical contractor means we work on the equipment rather than only on the brands we sell.
How it goes
What to expect
Production review
We look at your monitoring data and utility history to establish what the system should be making versus what it is making.
On-site diagnosis
Physical inspection and electrical testing to isolate the fault — panel, optimizer, inverter, wiring, or breaker.
Repair quote
You get the specific fault and the specific fix. If matching equipment has been discontinued, we tell you what the compatible options are.
Repair and verification
We complete the work and confirm the system is producing correctly before closing the job out.
Questions
Repair & Replacement FAQ
The company that installed my system went out of business. Can you still help?
Yes, and it is a large share of what we do. We service systems regardless of who installed them. Note that a manufacturer warranty may still be valid even when the installer is gone — the panel or inverter maker is a separate company, and it is worth checking before paying out of pocket.
How do I know if my system is underperforming?
A sharp rise in your true-up bill is the usual first clue. If you have monitoring, compare this year's production against previous years for the same months. A sustained drop that is not explained by weather or new shade is worth investigating.
Is it worth repairing an older system?
Usually. Panels commonly keep producing well past the twenty-year mark, and inverters are the component that typically fails first. Replacing an inverter on an otherwise healthy array is far cheaper than replacing the array.
Can a couple of bad panels really matter that much?
On some system designs, yes. Where panels are wired in a string without module-level electronics, the weakest panel can pull down the whole string. That is why a small fault sometimes produces a very large production loss.
