Solar repairs and inverter replacement in The Gap
Health checks, fault finding and inverter replacements for any brand of solar system in The Gap, including ones we did not install.
Why The Gap 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 The Gap 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. Our repairs & upgrades work in The Gap also covers neighbouring Upper Kedron, Keperra and Enoggera, all within about 4km.

The Gap: a local snapshot
Turrbal people lived in this once heavily forested valley. Timber cutters came first, then farmers, with a crown lease in 1851 and freehold sales from 1858. Nearby Enoggera Dam was built in 1866 to supply Brisbane. After World War I, land was split into small farms for returned soldiers, some farmed until the 1980s, and the 800 lot Royal Park Estate was advertised in 1927.

Repairs & upgrades in The Gap: 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 The Gap 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 The Gap 4061 and nearby suburbs?
Yes. The Gap is part of our Brisbane Westside service area in the Brisbane City Council area, and we regularly work in Upper Kedron, Keperra, Enoggera, Ferny Grove. Call 0449 942 735 or request a quote online and we will reply within 24 hours.
