Inverter repairs for solar systems in Canberra
If your inverter is showing faults or has stopped working, we can diagnose the issue and advise on the best next step.
Common inverter warning signs
Inverters are often the first component in a solar system to show issues, particularly as systems age.
Signs your inverter may need attention include:
- Error codes or warning lights
- Solar system not generating power
- Frequent shutdowns or restarts
- No data appearing in monitoring apps
These issues don’t always mean replacement is required but they do need assessment.
Understanding inverter lifespan
Most residential solar inverters have a shorter lifespan than panels. While panels often last 20–25 years, inverters typically last:
- Around 8–12 years for standard string inverters
- Longer for higher-quality or well-maintained systems
Age, heat exposure, installation quality, and usage all affect lifespan.
If your inverter is approaching the end of its expected life, repairs may still be possible but we’ll be upfront about whether a repair is likely to be short-term or genuinely worthwhile.
This helps you decide whether to repair now or plan a replacement on your terms.
Is repair possible?
Some inverter faults can be fixed, others are better solved with a replacement, depending on age, warranty and whether parts are still available. After we inspect your inverter, we will talk you through:
