Solar Repairs Seventeen Mile Rocks: 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 Seventeen Mile Rocks 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 west takes in leafy riverside suburbs like Indooroopilly, Kenmore and Chapel Hill, the Centenary suburbs, and hillier, tree-lined streets around The Gap, Ashgrove and Ferny Grove where shading needs careful planning. We look after Seventeen Mile Rocks and the surrounding suburbs of Sinnamon Park, Oxley and Darra, so a free on-site measure in 4073 is easy to book.

About Seventeen Mile Rocks
On 3 December 1823 John Oxley noted rocks in the river 17 miles from its mouth, and the name stuck. A Bible Christian chapel opened in 1869 and a school around 1874. Workers removed the last of the rocks between 1960 and 1966 to widen the channel. The Western Drive-In ran from 1966 to 1988 before housing took its place.

Repairs & upgrades in Seventeen Mile Rocks: 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 Seventeen Mile Rocks 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 Seventeen Mile Rocks 4073 and nearby suburbs?
Yes. Seventeen Mile Rocks is part of our Brisbane Westside service area in the Brisbane City Council area, and we regularly work in Sinnamon Park, Oxley, Darra, Fig Tree Pocket. Call 0449 942 735 or request a quote online and we will reply within 24 hours.
