Solar repairs and inverter replacement in Murwillumbah
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.
Repairs & upgrades for Murwillumbah, 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 Murwillumbah 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 Tweed runs from the border at Tweed Heads down the coast to Pottsville and inland along the river to Murwillumbah and Uki, a mix of beach houses, river-flat towns and hinterland acreage. From Murwillumbah to nearby South Murwillumbah and Dunbible, we quote every job in person so the price you sign is the price you pay.
- Low-lying pockets of Murwillumbah sit inside council flood mapping. Where it matters we mount inverters and batteries above the flood planning level and keep isolators easy to reach.

Getting to know Murwillumbah
Timber-getters came to the Tweed in the 1840s, but the town site was not surveyed until 1872 and became a village on 31 March 1879. The railway arrived in 1894 and a municipality followed in 1902. On 15 September 1907, remembered as Red Sunday, fire destroyed most of the business district, which was rebuilt in brick within a year.

Repairs & upgrades in Murwillumbah: 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 Murwillumbah 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 Murwillumbah 2484 and nearby suburbs?
Yes. Murwillumbah is part of our Tweed Heads & Tweed Coast service area in the Tweed Shire Council area, and we regularly work in South Murwillumbah, Dunbible, Tygalgah, Condong. Call 0449 942 735 or request a quote online and we will reply within 24 hours.
