What we fix
We repair solar panel systems in Palm Beach Gardens whatever their brand and whoever installed them: inverters, microinverters, wiring, panels and leaks under the array.
The repairs we handle are listed below.
A string inverter that has shut down on a fault or stopped converting power is diagnosed from its error codes, then repaired or replaced.
A failed microinverter, the box under each panel, cuts that panel's output without shutting the system down, so we find the one that failed and swap it.
Loose connectors and corroded junction-box connections cause energy loss or shut a system down, and we trace them and put them right.
A cracked or failing panel comes off its rails and a replacement goes on in its place, wired back into the rest of the array.
Missing "flashing", the seal around each roof attachment, is the main cause of a leak under solar panels, and we fix the leak and reseal the mount.
The "racking", the rails and mounts that hold panels to the roof, is tightened, repaired or replaced where it has worked loose or been damaged.
A drop in production, an inverter error or ground fault alert, a burning smell, unusual sounds, corrosion or discoloration all mean the system needs a repair. Even a 20 percent drop in production costs hundreds of dollars a year, so low output is not a monitoring glitch to shrug off. The warning signs to watch for are listed below.
Output down in the app, from dirt or shading, a failed microinverter, a loose connector, or a failing inverter or panel.
A code on the inverter's screen. Its arc fault protection shuts the system down and shows an error when a fault occurs.
Current reaching the ground makes the inverter shut down and raise an alert, and the system stays off until it is fixed.
An arc fault can start a fire if left untreated. Keep clear of the equipment and call.
Corroded connections in a junction box cause electrical failures, energy loss or a full shutdown.
Burn marks or yellowing on a panel point to "hot spots", overheating cells, or a panel coating breaking down in the sun.
One bad panel drags down the rest. A single malfunctioning panel can lower the whole system's output and raise your power bill.
Call for a Free EstimateWe read the inverter's error codes, check the connections from the inverter to the main service and out to the panels, and test the panels with IV-curve testing and thermal imaging. Proper troubleshooting covers everything from the inverter to the array and every connection between them. A repair runs in these steps, from your call to done:
Tell us what you are seeing: the code on the inverter, the dip in the app, the smell or the leak. We answer or call back the same working day.
We start with the inverter's error codes and the monitoring data, which show when production dipped and where to look for the root cause.
Then we inspect the connections between the inverter, the main service and the panels, the whole run from the wall to the roof.
Panels get "IV-curve testing", an electrical test of their output, and thermal imaging, which shows overheating cells as hot spots.
With the fault found, we quote the whole repair before we start, with no surprise charges after.
Most solar repairs take a single 2 to 4 hour visit, and we clean up when the work is done.
Step one is the call.
Call for a Free EstimateA targeted repair can cost far less than replacing the system, since a 10-year-old system still has 15 to 20 or more years of panel life left in it.

Solar panel repair is priced by the part and the labor the fault needs, so we quote your repair once the diagnostic has found it.
As a guide, solar panel repair in Palm Beach Gardens typically runs $94 to $931, and replacing a single failed microinverter typically runs $200 to $400. Your exact price comes from the call and the diagnostic, quoted in full before any work starts.

I want to give a big shoutout to SolarBright Power for a fantastic job! I have a home-based bakery, and my energy bills were sky-high. Their team installed solar panels seamlessly. My energy costs are down, and I'm reducing my carbon footprint. Baking with sunshine feels even sweeter now!
I'm impressed with the expertise and dedication of SolarBright Power. They tailored a solar solution to my specific needs and guided me through the entire process. The solar panels are performing exceptionally well, and I'm thrilled with the energy savings.
Most repairs take a single visit. Call and tell us what the inverter shows.

Panels fail through cracked cells, delamination, microcracks, PID degradation, hot spots and wiring faults. The panel failure modes technicians find are listed below.
We repair string inverters and microinverters, and the type you have decides whether one fault stops the whole system or just one panel. A "string inverter" runs a whole series of panels and typically lasts 10 to 15 years; microinverters last longer, but each one that fails silently cuts output by 10 to 25 percent while the rest keep running.
A permitted inverter replacement may need a follow-up utility inspection. The U.S. Department of Energy's inverter basics explain how each type handles shade or damage on one panel.
solar inverter typesNo, you should stay away from a damaged panel and leave removal and repair to a professional, because it can carry voltages high enough to kill. Doing it yourself also means climbing the roof and handling faulty connections that can be lethal.
When you hire, you can check whether the technician holds a credential from NABCEP, the certification body for PV installation and service professionals.
Panels should be cleaned once or twice a year, and a cleaning visit tests performance before and after and inspects the panels for damage or wear. The washing is chemical-free, and the price is set by the size of the system and how easy the panels are to reach.
We repair solar panel systems in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, and the surrounding towns, Jupiter, North Palm Beach, Juno Beach and West Palm Beach among them. A job outside that footprint is a question for the call.

Short answers to what owners ask us most before they book a visit.
Yes. Many faults sit in the parts around the panel, a failed microinverter, a loose connector or a corroded junction box, and those are fixed without replacing anything else. A panel that is cracked or delaminating comes off its rails and a replacement goes in its place.

The problems owners notice first are low production and an error or ground fault alert on the inverter. Behind them are failed microinverters, loose or corroded connections, and panels with cracked cells, delamination or hot spots.
