Solar repairs and maintenance
If your system has a fault, every hour of sun it misses is money lost
A solar system that is not generating properly is not just underperforming — it is costing you money every day the sun is up. Faults do not always show up as a complete shutdown. Often it is a drop in output, an inverter alarm, or a bill that is higher than it should be.
We diagnose and repair faults on all makes and brands, not just systems we installed. If your original installer has closed down or is uncontactable, we can step in and take over your system’s care.
Inspection packages
Three levels of inspection to suit your situation
We carry three inspection packages to match different situations. If your system has shut down or is showing a fault code, the Bronze inspection is designed for that. If you want a scheduled annual check with a professional report, the Silver is our most popular option. If you want the most thorough assessment available, including panel cleaning and detailed electrical testing, the Gold inspection covers everything.
Not sure which level you need? If your system has a fault or has shut down, start with Bronze. For a scheduled annual check, Silver is the right choice. If you are buying a house with solar or suspect a significant underperformance issue, Gold gives you the most complete picture. Call us on 07 4779 7798 and we will point you in the right direction.

Solar maintenance in Townsville
Why Townsville solar systems need regular attention
Townsville’s tropical coastal climate is one of the harshest environments for solar equipment in Australia. High humidity and salt air accelerate corrosion of electrical terminals and rooftop cabling. Intense UV causes the plastic casings on DC isolators to crack and degrade. When those casings crack, North Queensland’s heavy rainfall can enter and cause ground faults or, in serious cases, fires.
A fault does not always announce itself as a complete shutdown. Often it is a gradual drop in output that goes unnoticed for months. By the time most system owners realise something is wrong, they have already lost significant generation and may be facing a larger repair bill than if the issue had been caught early.
Signs your system may need attention
Common questions
Solar repair and maintenance questions, answered
Do you service solar systems you did not install?
Yes. We carry out repairs, inspections and maintenance on all makes and brands regardless of who installed the system. If your original installer has closed down or is no longer contactable, call us and we will take over.
How do I know if my solar system has a fault?
The most common signs are a power bill that is higher than expected, an inverter alarm light or error code, or a noticeable drop in the output shown on your inverter display. If you are unsure, check your inverter once a month. A system in good working order in Townsville should generate around 4kWh per kW of installed capacity per day on a sunny day.
My inverter is showing a fault light. What should I do?
Do not ignore it. An inverter alarm means the system has detected a problem and has stopped or reduced generation. Every hour it sits unresolved is generation you are not getting. Call us and we will diagnose the fault and advise on the repair.
Can you repair a system where the original company has closed down?
Yes. This is one of the most common situations we deal with. Over 95% of solar systems installed more than 10 years ago are what the industry calls orphaned, meaning the installing company is no longer operating. We step in as your new service provider and take over care of the system.
How often should a solar system be professionally inspected?
We recommend a professional inspection every one to two years for systems in the Townsville region. The tropical coastal environment accelerates corrosion and UV degradation faster than most parts of Australia, so regular checks are important for both performance and safety.
Does a professional inspection help with warranty claims?
Yes. Most major inverter and panel manufacturers require a documented maintenance history to support warranty claims. Our inspections produce a timestamped professional digital report that serves as evidence of care if you need to make a warranty claim.
