What does an inverter repair cost?
The cost of a repair can be as low as $80 if we just need to replace an external plug, switch or consumable part and don’t have to remove the inverter.
Repairing and reconditioning the internal electronics of an inverter ranges from $195 to $450.
There may also be removal and installation costs depending on your situation. Just ask and we’ll let you know.
How to quickly check if your inverter has a problem
Have you tried the shutdown procedure?
First take your inverter through the shutdown procedure. This often fixes minor issues.
The shutdown procedure should be found on your inverter or in the meter box.
Always remember
Disconnect the AC supply before the DC supply. To restart your inverter carefully reverse this process.
Is the inverter display blank?
If so, a specialist can test your system to learn if there’s an issue with the panels, the DC isolator, the inverter or just the display itself.
Is there an error message displayed?
Check the manual – what does the message mean? Record any error messages as they may change, or the display may shut down.
What does the user manual recommend?
If the manual says take the inverter to the factory service centre, it generally means an internal component has failed.
Error messages often describe inconsistent DC power issues coming from the solar panels.
Is it time to Replace your solar inverter?
Sometimes a solar inverter cannot be repaired. Parts may be unavailable or it’s not cost-effective.
In this case you will need a new solar inverter. Solar Uptime can provide most inverters from any manufacturer – most importantly, the right one for your system.
So, if you have none of the problems mentioned above and your inverter has a major internal component issue then a replacement may be the best option
Is your inverter really the issue?
Here are some common issues which may suggest the inverter is faulty when it’s not:
Burnt out/malfunctioning DC isolator
This will stop power from reaching the inverter and appear as if the inverter is not working.
Solar cell micro-fractures
Solar cells can develop micro-cracks which are often invisible to the naked eye. They can still cause performance issues and often develop into dangerous hot spots.
Arcing or burnt out connections
This often happens when DC voltage connectors under the panels have failed because they weren’t installed properly.
