# Solar Panel Repair

We diagnose and repair residential solar systems across Pennsylvania and Ohio, whether or not we installed the original system. Most repairs are scheduled within a week of diagnosis.

## What we repair

- Underperforming or non-producing panels
- Failed string inverters and central inverters
- Failed microinverters and DC optimizers
- Loose or corroded electrical connections
- Wiring damage from weather, animals, or installation defects
- Roof penetration leaks around mount points
- Monitoring system faults and communication errors

## Diagnostic tools we use

- Thermal imaging to find hotspots and failed cells
- IV-curve tracing for string-level performance analysis
- Voltage and continuity testing on individual panels and circuits
- Inverter and optimizer event-log analysis

## Process

1. **Schedule a diagnostic visit**, we assess your system on-site or remotely via your monitoring portal.
2. **Identify the fault**, we locate the specific component or wiring issue causing the problem.
3. **Quote the repair**, transparent pricing, parts and labor itemized.
4. **Complete the repair**, most parts in stock; same-week turnaround on common inverter and optimizer replacements.

## Common questions

If your system is producing less than usual, the most common causes are inverter failure, microinverter or optimizer failure, soiling on panels, or shading from new tree growth. A diagnostic visit identifies the root cause quickly.
