If the company that installed your solar panels went out of business, your solar system can still be inspected, serviced and repaired by another qualified solar company.
This situation has become frustrating for homeowners who invested thousands of dollars into solar only to discover that their original installer is no longer available when something goes wrong.
The good news is that you’re not necessarily stuck with a broken system.
Jiles Construction, Roofing & Solar services existing solar systems throughout Texas, including systems installed by other companies.
Can Another Company Repair My Solar Panels?
Yes. A qualified solar service company can evaluate and repair many systems even if it wasn’t the original installer.
The first step is identifying what is actually wrong.
Potential solar problems can include:
- Faulty or failed inverters
- Damaged solar panels
- Wiring or electrical problems
- Mounting hardware issues
- Monitoring-system failures
- Reduced energy production
- Battery-storage problems
- Storm or hail damage
A professional diagnostic evaluation can determine whether the issue requires a relatively simple repair or more extensive work.
What Is an Orphaned Solar System?
An orphaned solar system is generally a solar installation whose original installer is no longer available to provide service or support.
Maybe the installer closed.
Maybe it left your market.
Or perhaps you’re simply unable to get anyone from the original company to respond.
Whatever the reason, homeowners still need someone who can diagnose and service the equipment.
Jiles specifically provides service for these types of existing solar systems.
Can Solar Panels Be Repaired After a Texas Storm?
Yes, depending on the damage.
Texas storms can bring hail, wind and severe weather capable of affecting both roofing and solar equipment.
If you suspect storm damage, the roof and solar system should both be evaluated.
This is especially important because your panels sit directly above one of the most important systems protecting your house: your roof.
Can Solar Battery Systems Be Repaired Too?
Many solar-plus-storage systems can be diagnosed when batteries aren’t charging, communicating correctly or providing backup power as expected.
Jiles’ solar repair services include battery diagnostics and troubleshooting.
The goal should be to identify the actual failure rather than automatically telling a homeowner they need an entirely new solar system.
