What does solar panel repair involve?

Step 1: System inspection and testing

Your technician will check the panels, wiring, mounting, and inverter performance to identify faults.

Step 2: Fault diagnosis

Issues, for example, micro-cracks, wiring faults, inverter failure, or mounting damage are confirmed.

Step 3: Repair or replacement

Where possible, components are repaired. If damage is severe, panels or inverters may need replacing.

How much do solar panel repairs cost?

Solar panel repair costs vary based on the fault and system size.

One common solar panel repair involves replacing the inverter. This is a job that's generally required around every 25 years and usually costs between £800 and £1000. However, other minor repairs could be much cheaper.

Larger systems, access requirements, or multiple faults can increase the price.
