Common Solar System Issues We Resolve
Over time, solar energy systems can suffer from wear and tear, environmental exposure, or technical malfunctions. At Solair Electrical, we’re experienced in identifying and resolving a wide range of issues, including:
Inverter Faults
The inverter is the heart of your solar system, converting DC power from the panels into usable AC electricity. Common problems include:
- Error codes and alerts
- General Maintenance and Cleaning
- System shutdowns or not turning on
- Poor or fluctuating output
- Inverter not connecting to the grid
We diagnose inverter faults quickly and provide honest advice on whether your inverter needs repair, recalibration, or replacement.
Solar Panel Damage
Your panels are exposed to the elements 24/7, which can result in:
- Cracked glass or delamination
- Hot spots and burn marks
- Discolouration and corrosion
- Broken or loose mounting frames
We inspect each panel for signs of damage or degradation, replacing units when necessary to maintain overall system efficiency.
Wiring & Electrical Issues
Loose, damaged, or corroded wiring can cause:
- Power loss
- Ground faults
- Safety hazards
We conduct a full electrical check to ensure all wiring and connections are up to standard and secure.
Monitoring & Data Failures
If your solar monitoring app or system is showing inaccurate data or is offline, it could indicate deeper system issues. We restore accurate monitoring so you can track your energy production and savings in real-time.
Environmental & Pest Damage
Storms, dust build-up, vermin nesting under panels, and even bird droppings can all compromise system performance. We clean and secure your system, protecting it from future damage.
