Solar Inverter Replacement Service | Allterra Solar
Your solar system’s inverter works hard behind the scenes to convert energy from the sun into usable electricity for your home or business. But just like any piece of technology, inverters wear out or face issues over time.
A faulty solar inverter could be affecting your system’s efficiency. Don’t wait—our team can help. Call (831) 201-6759 or contact us today to learn more and schedule a service appointment.
Why Solar Inverters Fail
- Age and Wear: Even the highest-quality inverters have a finite life.
- Overheating: High temperatures and inadequate ventilation can damage internal components.
- Faulty Wiring or Installation: Poor installation can result in connection failures or electrical faults over time.
- Power Surges: Lightning strikes or grid fluctuations can overload the inverter’s electronics.
By addressing these issues early, you can prevent disruptions and maximize your solar investment’s efficiency and lifespan.
Signs Your Solar Inverter Needs Replacement
Here are some common signs that your inverter might need replacing:
- System Alerts: Your system’s monitoring software is displaying fault codes or alert messages.
- Lower Energy Production: A sudden or unexplained drop in your system’s energy output.
- Old Age: Most inverters have a lifespan of 10–15 years. If yours is nearing this range, it may be time for a replacement.
- Physical Damage or Overheating: Visible damage, burnt smells, or your inverter shutting down regularly are major red flags.
If you are experiencing any of these issues, a faulty solar inverter could be affecting your system’s efficiency. Don’t wait—our team can help.
