Keep Your Solar System Running Smoothly with Replacing a Faulty Inverter
The inverter is a crucial component of your solar system, converting the direct current (DC) generated by your solar panels into alternating current (AC) for use in your home.
Why Replacing a Faulty Inverter is Important
Inverters, like any electronic component, have a limited lifespan and can experience performance issues over time.
Replacing a faulty inverter is essential for several reasons:
- Maintain System Efficiency: An efficient inverter ensures that you get the maximum possible output from your solar panels.
- Prevent Downtime: A failing inverter can cause your entire solar system to stop working, leading to energy production losses.
- Improve Safety: Modern inverters come with enhanced safety features that older models lack.
- Upgrade Technology: Newer inverters offer better performance, more features, and improved monitoring capabilities.
Signs Your Inverter Requires Replacing
- Frequent Faults and Errors: Regular error messages and fault codes can indicate that your inverter is failing.
- Reduced Energy Output: A Noticeable drop in your solar system’s energy production may be due to an inefficient or failing inverter.
- Age of Inverter: Most inverters have a lifespan of 10-15 years. If your inverter is approaching this age, it might be time for a replacement.
- Physical Damage: Visible signs of wear, corrosion, or damage on the inverter casing.
- Unusual Noises: Strange noises coming from the inverter, such as buzzing or clicking sounds, can indicate internal issues.

FAQs
Experience the peace of mind that comes with a professionally replaced inverter. Choose Velocity Solar for dependable, high quality inverter replacement services.
Yes, a little. We recommend a service every 1 to 2 years: a safety check of the wiring, isolators and switchboard, an inspection of the panels and mounting rails, and a check that the inverter and any battery are working as they should. Homes near the coast may need more frequent checks, because salt can corrode fittings. Our team does more than 200 maintenance jobs a year, including on systems whose installer has closed; see solar system maintenance.
Start with the company that installed your system, as they hold your records. If they no longer trade or can’t help, contact the manufacturer. Warranties sit with the manufacturer, not the installer, so your cover usually remains even if the installer has closed. Many solar installers from the early years have since shut down, and that is where we can help: Velocity Solar assists owners of systems we did not install, though a service fee may apply. If you still get nowhere, Consumer Affairs Victoria can help with your complaint.
