Storm Damage Repair for Penn Hills Solar Systems
Penn Hills' elevated wooded terrain means rooftop panels see fallen branches and wind-driven debris during severe weather. Our repair crews come out with a damage assessment kit, document everything for insurance claims when applicable, and handle the panel replacement, conduit repair, and Duquesne Light recertification before we leave.
Your Utility: Duquesne Light
We work directly with Duquesne Light on interconnection, net metering, and all required paperwork for Penn Hills homeowners.
What we typically find on Penn Hills repair calls
We service systems from any installer, not just our own. Here are the most common problems we diagnose.
Microinverter or optimizer failure
One panel goes dark while the rest keep producing. The fix is usually a single component swap, and the rest of the array stays online.
Inverter fault after a storm
A surge or ground fault trips the inverter. We diagnose, reset, or replace as needed, then verify the Duquesne Light connection is clean.
MC4 connector corrosion
Pennsylvania's freeze-thaw cycles and humidity work on the rooftop connectors over years. We replace the affected pairs and re-torque the strings.
Production drop from shading
New tree growth, a neighbor's addition, or even chimney soot can shift your output. We model the new shade pattern and adjust strings or recommend trimming.
Hail, wind, or impact damage
Visible cracks or stripes on a panel almost always mean the cells are compromised. We pull the panel, file the manufacturer warranty claim if applicable, and replace it.
Wildlife damage to wiring
Squirrels and birds chew through the run between the array and the inverter. We rewire, install critter guards around the array perimeter, and test the string voltage.
