Solar Inverter Repair & Replacement FAQs
Should I reset my inverter myself?
Following the manufacturer’s documented shutdown and restart procedure is generally fine. Do not open the inverter or touch wiring. If the fault returns, call for service.
Microinverter vs. string inverter: what is different for repairs?
A string inverter is one central unit, so a failure affects the whole system. Microinverters sit under individual panels, so repairs often require roof access but a failure affects only one panel.
Can I add a battery when I replace my inverter?
Sometimes. A hybrid inverter can be an option. We can discuss compatibility with your existing panels and goals.
