Our technicians can expertly diagnose your inverter problem. In many cases, we can carry out repairs on-site. If your inverter is beyond economical repair or out of warranty, we can suggest and install a high-quality, modern replacement that will boost your system’s overall performance and dependability. We are the top choice for solar inverter repairs on the Gold Coast.

Frequently Asked Questionsn - Solar Repairs on the Gold Coast
Q: How much do solar repairs cost on the Gold Coast?
A solar repair cost varies; a minor fix like replacing a DC isolator costs a few hundred dollars, while a full inverter replacement can be $1000 to $3000+ depending on brand and size. Solarcell provides transparent, itemised quotes before work, avoiding surprises.
Q: Is it worth repairing an older solar system?
A: In most cases, yes. A well-maintained solar system can last for 20-25 years. If a single component like the inverter fails after 8-10 years, it is far more cost-effective to replace that component than the entire system. We will always give you an honest assessment of your system’s health and provide a recommendation based on the best return on investment for you.
Q: Can you repair any brand of solar inverter or panels?
A: Our technicians have extensive experience with a wide range of brands available in Australia, including Fronius, SMA, Sungrow, Goodwe, Solis, Enphase, Trina Solar, Jinko, Q-Cells, and many more. With over 35 years in the industry, we have worked on nearly every type of system installed on the Gold Coast.
Q: How often should I get a professional solar service?
To ensure safety, efficiency, and longevity, we recommend a professional solar system check and clean every 12 to 24 months. The Gold Coast’s salty air and humidity can speed up corrosion and wear, making regular servicing crucial. Routine solar service can catch small issues early before costly failures.
Q: Why should I choose a CEC Accredited technician for my solar repairs?
A: Using a Clean Energy Council (CEC) accredited technician is essential. It guarantees that the person working on your system is properly trained, familiar with the latest Australian Standards, and dedicated to industry best practices. This is your assurance of a safe, compliant, and high-quality repair. Solarcell is proud to be fully CEC accredited (S7575926).
Q: My inverter is under warranty. Can you help with a claim?
A: Absolutely. Navigating warranty claims can be frustrating and time-consuming. We can liaise with the manufacturer on your behalf, provide them with the technical data they need, and handle the warranty claim for you. We can then carry out the warranty-approved replacement work.
Q: How often should my solar system be serviced?
We recommend annual inspections to maintain efficiency and comply with warranty requirements.
Q: Can weather affect my solar system?
Yes – storms, hail, and extreme heat can cause physical or electrical damage to your system.
