Solar System Repairs and Upgrades
SolarWide is available to undertake solar system repairs and upgrades. We would like nevertheless to provide you with one word of warning in regard to system repairs. The Sunshine Coast is relatively unforgiving to cheaper solar components due to our salt mist corrosion air, and the sometimes humid climate.
This weather over a few years can be deadly for soar panel lamination spots and cheaper quality backing sheets on panels, causing regularly water ingress and corrosion, leading to panel failures. Often when we get called out to check a faulty system, the low budget systems, are often beyond repair. The famous saying “You get what you pay for” still holds true.
If you have a faulty or old solar system that you want to fix or replace it would be advised to do it sooner rather than later, whilst government incentives are still widely available.
The most popular system size we sell is currently 6.6kW. A 6.6kW system in 2021 is eligible for the creation of 91 STC’s (small scale technology certificates) on the Sunshine Coast. Each STC has a value of $37.20 (based on pricing in July 2021) which means that a 6.6kW system is eligible for a solar rebate – also know as the an STC incentive of close to $3,400.
A medium quality 6.6kW system typically has a full price value of about $9,000. When one removes the $3,385 STC rebate/discount, the total out of pocket cost come to is just over $5,500.
Making sure your home solar system is performing at its full potential
There are a number of reasons that solar panels and the inverter fail to perform at their full potential. For example, the build-up of dirt and debris might be blocking some of the sunshine that should be reaching the solar panels.
In contrast, other causes range from human errors such as bad wiring and unnoticed shutdowns to simple wear and tear eating into the system components over the years.
Whatever the cause, the failure of solar panels to perform at their full potential means that the home and business owners will not be able to collect the benefits that they have a right to expect.
Fortunately, there is a simple solution to this problem in the form of scheduling solar panel check-ups on an annual basis. First, this serves to ensure that the solar panels are running as they should be, while also making it possible for corrective action to be taken on the spot if they aren’t.
