Frequently Asked Questions - Solar Repairs Brisbane
Q: How much do solar repairs cost in Brisbane?
The cost of a solar repair can vary quite a bit depending on what’s needed. For example, a quick service call and minor fix might be just a few hundred dollars, while a complete inverter replacement could cost more. At Solarcell, we offer a thorough diagnostic service and provide an upfront, fixed-price quote, so you know exactly what to expect before we start any work.
Q: Is it worth repairing my old solar system?
A quality solar system lasts 25+ years, but components like inverters often fail in 5-10 years. Repairing a faulty part usually costs less than replacing the whole system. We’ll honestly advise whether repair or upgrade is better financially.
Q: How long will the repair take?
A: We aim to diagnose and fix common issues on first visit, carrying a wide range of spare parts for quick turnaround. If a part needs ordering, we’ll keep you informed of the timeline.
Q: Can you help with solar warranty claims?
Yes. Navigating warranty claims can be confusing, especially if your original installer is no longer around. We can help diagnose whether the fault is covered by your manufacturer’s warranty and assist with the claims process by providing technical reports and liaising with the manufacturer.
Q: My inverter is displaying an "Isolation Fault" error. What does that mean?
An “Isolation Fault” or “Isolation Error” is a serious safety concern that means electricity might be escaping from the DC side of your system. This often happens when moisture gets into panels, cabling, or isolator switches. For your safety, your system will shut down automatically. Please avoid trying to restart it. Instead, contact a qualified solar electrician at Solarcell right away to help diagnose and resolve this issue safely.
Q: Why is regular solar maintenance so important?
A: Regular maintenance is essential for safety, performance, and durability. It helps us spot and fix small problems before they turn into costly failures, clean your panels for peak efficiency, and ensure all electrical parts are safe and compliant. Think of it as a service for your vehicle; it keeps your investment running smoothly for years to come.
