What we typically find on Shaker Heights 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 FirstEnergy Ohio connection is clean.
MC4 connector corrosion
Ohio'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.
