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 solar 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 2024 is eligible for the creation of 63 STC’s (small scale technology certificates) on the Sunshine Coast. Each STC has a value of $38.80 (based on pricing in October 2024) which means that a 6.6kW system is eligible for a solar rebate – also know as the an STC incentive of $2,444.40.

A medium quality 6.6kW system typically has a full price value of about $7,750. When one removes the $2,444.40 STC rebate/discount, the total out of pocket cost comes to about $5,300.

Solar Panel Repairs & Cleaning – Keep Your Panels Efficient

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.

FAQ

Can my solar panels be damaged by hail?

At SolarWide, we provide high-quality solar panels constructed with strong aluminium frames and covered with tempered glass. Tempered glass is up to six times stronger than regular plate glass and can withstand extreme weather conditions. Nevertheless, on the Sunshine Coast, hail damage is a real possibility and in such instances, it’s good to know that our installed panels have been tested to withstand strong hail. Nevertheless, should one of your panels be damaged by hail then this matter is a home insurance claim, just like if your roof tiles or your window glass would be damaged by hail.

How does a solar power system work?

The modern solar system is highly efficient and for example, a 6.6Kw system provides sufficient electricity for the daily needs of an average home. The PV system consists of panels that send DC power to an inverter, which then converts to AC power to supply energy to your home.

Any excess power will be sold back to the grid for a nominal price per kilowatt. Our consultants will discuss the size of your solar system with you so that you can get the best return on your investment. The amount of electricity created depends on the solar system’s capacity and installation direction. SolarWide supplies high quality long-lasting solar power systems for homes, offices, and commercial buildings. You can talk with us today about sizing your system to best suit your needs.

SolarWide, Sunshine Coast leading solar company, is highly accredited by many industry-leading brands and agencies.
