As solar energy continues to gain popularity, many homeowners are navigating the world of solar panels—the installation process, maintenance, and most importantly, when to call in the experts for repairs. While solar panels are generally designed for durability and longevity, issues can arise that require professional inspection.

Here’s when you should contact MPV Solar for expert repairs:

One of the most straightforward indicators of a problem is a drop in your solar system’s energy production. If you notice that your solar panels are producing significantly less electricity than usual, it could be a sign of an underlying issue. This decreased performance can result from factors such as dirt buildup, shading, or more serious problems like faulty inverters or damaged panels. An accredited MPV Solar expert can diagnose the problem and advise you on the best course of action.

Inspect your solar panels periodically to check for any visible signs of damage. Cracks, chips, or discolouration can all indicate that your panels are compromised. While some minor issues may not affect performance significantly, it’s essential to address any physical damage swiftly to prevent further deterioration.

A significant component of your solar energy system is the electrical components, including the inverter, wiring, and junction boxes. If you experience problems such as tripped circuit breakers, unusual noises, or flickering lights, it’s advisable to call a professional. These issues can signal faulty wiring or inverter problems that require experienced technicians to diagnose and fix safely. MPV Solar has in-house licensed electricians ready to assist with resolving all your electrical issues.

Most inverters have warning lights to indicate performance issues. If you see a red or yellow light, it’s crucial not to ignore it. These alerts can suggest various problems, from grid outages to issues with the solar panels themselves.

Always consult your inverter’s manual for specific troubleshooting advice, but when in doubt, reach out to a solar expert.

Successfully troubleshooting solar panel issues often requires specialised knowledge and experience. If you’ve tried basic troubleshooting—such as cleaning the panels, checking connections, and monitoring the inverter—without resolving the issue, it’s best to call in a professional like MPV Solar. Our in-house accredited solar experts can quickly identify the problem and implement solutions that may not be apparent to the average homeowner.

If you’ve found yourself frequently calling for repairs, it might be time to reconsider your system’s overall health. Continuous issues could indicate that your system is aging or that certain components may need replacement. Engaging a professional for a comprehensive solar audit can save you time and money in the long run by identifying persistent issues and offering long-term solutions.

Your solar panel system is a valuable investment in your home and the environment that requires proper care and attention.
