A solar service call - what is included?
- Our initial inspection will include:
-
Assessing and testing your solar grid connect inverter - looking for any red lights or fault messages/codes on your solar inverter. Common faults include relay failures, ground faults, inverter showing zero production and just a blank inverter screen.
-
Measuring the power inputs coming down from your solar modules.
-
Inspecting and checking your solar isolators for any damage or water ingress and checking ground cabling
-
If our readings from your solar modules appear a concern, Nathan will also access your roof and inspect and test your solar modules.
-
Any minor solar faults which are detected during the above inspection will be rectified at the initial service call for you – with the cost of any parts being added to our service call fee.
-
If it is established that your inverter needs replacing at the initial service call, Nathan may then be able to supply and install a replacement inverter at the same time for you – saving you a second call out charge. This will however depend upon the individual site and whether the existing inverter type, brand and size are available at the time.
Is there anything I can check before organising a solar service call?
- Before booking a service call it might be worth looking over these simple trouble shotting tips which may help get your system back up and running without the cost of a service call.
-
Check that your DC isolator (usually located next to your inverter) is in the “ON” position.
-
Check that your Solar Supply Main Switch, located in our switchboard, is also in the “ON” position.
-
Check whether your inverter is showing any error code or red lights – which might be explained in your customer inverter manual. If an inverter is blank it may be an internal fault with the inverter or an isolator and a service call is recommended.
-
Check your E Total readings for the day – usually displayed on your inverter – to see if your system is generating any power, and if so, if it matches with your system’s expected output. If you inverter is showing a zero production we would recommend organising a service call.
-
Checking for any worn-out terminals or loose wires connected to your inverter.
