What are the common signs of solar panel damage?
Solar panels may show visible damage if physically damaged by hail. Typically, customers will not notice damage - but will see a notable decrease in solar energy produced by the system. This can be checked by using the accompanying app (if applicable), or manually reading the meter.
Can solar panels be repaired, or do they need to be replaced?
In Alberta, solar panels are almost always replaced. Solar panels require specialized tools and knowledge to repair which can be more costly than simply replacing.
How much does it cost to repair a solar panel system?
The cost to repair a solar panel system can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars depending on the complexity of the repair. A single panel replacement is likely $400-$500 with labor included, however a full system replacement and removal has a significant range in price. Inquiring with details about your situation will allow our team to give you a more accurate price range.
What causes solar panels to stop working?
Solar panels can stop working from physical damage, electrical component malfunction, or improper wiring. If the entire system is not working correctly it's typically due to the electrical connections between the electrical panel, inverters, and solar panels. Our team will trace these connections and check the junctions to determine a cause for diagnosis.
What should I do if my solar inverter stops working?
Don't try to repair it yourself. What you can do is call the manufacturer help line and see if they have any information which can help with the diagnosis. Share this information with a reputable solar installer and let them complete the repair.
How long do solar panel repairs take?
Usually solar repairs can be completed in just a few hours depending on the extent of the damage. If parts are special ordered, like panels or inverters this can delay the repair. Sometimes with simple diagnosis, a repair can be completed the same day!
Will repairing my solar system affect my warranty?
Solar repairs should be completed by a reputable installer who can work with your manufacturers to repair or replace items within the warranty specifications with good workmanship.
