Solar repairs and inverter replacement in Chevron Island
Inverter showing an error, or your bill suddenly jumped? We find the fault, fix it and tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes sense.
Solar Repairs Chevron Island: local, honest, done right
Inverters are the hardest working part of a solar system and most last 10 to 15 years. When one fails, your panels keep sitting in the sun but you get nothing from them. Many Chevron Island homes also have systems that were installed by companies no longer around.
We test the array, inverter, isolators and wiring, then give you a clear written report. If replacement makes more sense, we will quote a like-for-like inverter or a hybrid inverter that is ready for a battery.
The central Gold Coast takes in the high-rise strip from Broadbeach to Main Beach, the canal homes of Bundall, Benowa and Isle of Capri, and family suburbs like Ashmore, Nerang and Carrara. We look after Chevron Island and the surrounding suburbs of Surfers Paradise, Isle of Capri and Bundall, so a free on-site measure in 4217 is easy to book.

About Chevron Island
Before the canal era this was Goat Island, a natural island in the Nerang River where a cattle farm ran alongside a large mob of goats. It was a landing for barges and ferries crossing to Cavill Avenue. In the 1950s sand fill was pumped in and the island was separated from what is now the HOTA site, as river dredging opened channels and created land for housing.

Repairs & upgrades in Chevron Island: questions
Still unsure? Talk to us directly. You will speak with the people who do the work.
Call 0449 942 735How do I know if my solar system is faulty?
Common signs are an inverter showing a red light or error code, a blank screen during the day, a power bill that jumps without a change in usage, or monitoring that shows zero output on a sunny day.
Do you fix systems you did not install?
Yes. A lot of our repair work in Chevron Island is on systems from companies that have since closed. We work on all mainstream brands.
Should I repair or replace my inverter?
If the inverter is under warranty, we will help you claim it. If it is over 10 years old and out of warranty, replacing it is usually better value than repairing, and it is a good moment to consider a battery-ready hybrid.
How often should solar panels be checked?
Every two to three years is a good rule, or sooner near the coast where salt air is harder on fixings and isolators.

Yes. Chevron Island is part of our Central Gold Coast service area in the City of Gold Coast area, and we regularly work in Surfers Paradise, Isle of Capri, Bundall, Sorrento. Call 0449 942 735 or request a quote online and we will reply within 24 hours.
