Solar repairs and inverter replacement in Lutwyche
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.
Why Lutwyche homes choose RS Energy for repairs & upgrades
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 Lutwyche 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.
Brisbane's northside ranges from the grand old homes of Ascot, Hamilton and Clayfield to family suburbs like Aspley, Chermside and Bracken Ridge and the bayside villages of Sandgate and Shorncliffe. Our repairs & upgrades work in Lutwyche also covers neighbouring Wooloowin, Gordon Park and Windsor, all within about 1km.
- Many Lutwyche homes are character Queenslanders and older workers cottages with corrugated iron roofs. Tin roofs are quick to mount on, and we keep conduit runs neat and out of sight on heritage-style facades.

Lutwyche: a local snapshot
Judge Alfred Lutwyche, sent to Moreton Bay in 1859, bought land here in 1864 for St Andrew's Church of England, finished two years later. The suburb carries his name. An acre was set aside for a School of Arts in 1886, and the Lutwyche Domain estate was mapped in 1889. Trams rattled along Lutwyche Road until 1968, and the busway station opened in June 2012.

Repairs & upgrades in Lutwyche: 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 Lutwyche 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 Lutwyche 4030 and nearby suburbs?
Yes. Lutwyche is part of our Brisbane Northside service area in the Brisbane City Council area, and we regularly work in Wooloowin, Gordon Park, Windsor, Albion. Call 0449 942 735 or request a quote online and we will reply within 24 hours.
