Solar repairs and inverter replacement in Tweed Heads
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.
Solar Repairs Tweed Heads: 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 Tweed Heads 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. We look after Tweed Heads and the surrounding suburbs of Tweed Heads West, Kirra and Coolangatta, so a free on-site measure in 2485 is easy to book.
- Being close to the water, Tweed Heads gets salt-laden sea breezes. We use corrosion-resistant racking, stainless fixings and panels and inverters rated for coastal sites, and we design to the local wind loading.

About Tweed Heads
Cedar cutters were working the Tweed Valley by 1844, two decades after John Oxley passed through in 1823. Dairying, cane and bananas followed, and the first school opened in 1871. The Boyd Estate went to auction in 1888 and the railway arrived in 1903. Locals called the town Tweed Heads from the early 1900s, though the old name Cooloon, from a Yugambeh-Bundjalung word, wasn't formally dropped until 1965.

Repairs & upgrades in Tweed Heads: 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 Tweed Heads 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 Tweed Heads 2485 and nearby suburbs?
Yes. Tweed Heads is part of our Tweed Heads & Tweed Coast service area in the Tweed Shire Council area, and we regularly work in Tweed Heads West, Kirra, Coolangatta, Bilinga. Call 0449 942 735 or request a quote online and we will reply within 24 hours.
