Solar repairs and inverter replacement in Coombabah
Health checks, fault finding and inverter replacements for any brand of solar system in Coombabah, including ones we did not install.
Repairs & upgrades for Coombabah, planned around your home
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 Coombabah 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 northern Gold Coast is one of the fastest growing parts of Queensland, from the canals of Runaway Bay and Hope Island to new estates in Coomera, Pimpama and Ormeau and semi-rural blocks around Wongawallan. From Coombabah to nearby Hollywell and Runaway Bay, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.

Getting to know Coombabah
Coombabah Lake and Creek give the suburb its name, from Bundjalung words in the Ngaraangbal dialect meaning place of the wood grubs. Early schools came and went with work crews, including one for public works families in 1887 and one for railway workers' children at Acrobat Creek from 1889 to 1890. The state primary school opened in 1981, the high school in 1986, and council declared the conservation area in 1994.

Repairs & upgrades in Coombabah: 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 Coombabah 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.
Do you service Coombabah 4216 and nearby suburbs?
