Solar Repairs Hillcrest: 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 Hillcrest 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.
Logan blends established suburbs such as Springwood, Shailer Park and Browns Plains with new communities at Yarrabilba, Park Ridge and Logan Reserve, plus acreage through Jimboomba, Greenbank and Munruben. We look after Hillcrest and the surrounding suburbs of Regents Park, Browns Plains and Drewvale, so a free on-site measure in 4118 is easy to book.

About Hillcrest
Hillcrest started out as a corner of Browns Plains and became a separate place name in June 1987. The Wineglass Water Tower on the hilltop was finished in 1984, though an ambulance station had already opened on the site in 1982. A temporary fire station ran from 1983 until the permanent Logan West station opened in Orr Court in 1986, with the Browns Plains police station following there in 1988.

Repairs & upgrades in Hillcrest: 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 Hillcrest 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 Hillcrest 4118 and nearby suburbs?
Yes. Hillcrest is part of our Logan service area in the Logan City Council area, and we regularly work in Regents Park, Browns Plains, Drewvale, Boronia Heights. Call 0449 942 735 or request a quote online and we will reply within 24 hours.
