Independent Solar Repair · Central & Eastern PA

Your solar company disappeared.
Your system didn't have to.

We Get You Back Online

Your installer closed, moved on, or stopped picking up. The warranty points somewhere that never answers, and nobody returns your calls. We repair and service any brand of solar, on any roof, no matter who installed it or how long ago.

Common Signs

Any of this happening at your house?

Red or flashing light on your inverter
Electric bill suddenly higher than normal
Monitoring app shows zero production — or nothing at all
Installer stopped answering the phone

Those are the exact problems we handle every day. Schedule a free Solar Triage Call — we'll tell you what it likely is and what it takes to fix.

Our Services

What we fix

A full diagnosis first, straight answers, and a written quote before any work begins.

Solar Repair & Diagnostics

Inverter faults, wiring issues, ground faults, error codes, dead panels — we find the problem fast and fix it right. Every visit starts with a full system inspection and ends with a plain-English report of what's wrong.

Panel Detach & Reset

Getting a new roof? We handle the solar panel removal and reinstallation: detach, safe storage, coordination with your roofer, then reinstall and recommission — with production verified before we leave.

Micro-Inverter & Optimizer Replacement

One failed micro-inverter or optimizer quietly drags down your whole array. We replace failed Enphase, SolarEdge, APsystems and other units — and if the part is still under manufacturer warranty, we help you claim it.

Battery Retrofits for Existing Systems

Add battery backup to the solar you already own — Tesla Powerwall, Enphase, SolarEdge, and more. We design around your existing equipment and handle the permits and utility paperwork.

Lease & PPA Buyout Assistance

Stuck in a solar lease or Power Purchase Agreement? If your system is more than 5 years old, a buyout may already be on the table. We review your contract, price your real options — buyout, transfer, or removal — and walk you through the whole process.

Orphaned & Abandoned System Rescue

Installer out of business, unreachable, or "no longer serving your area"? You're not stuck. We adopt orphaned systems — inspection, repairs, monitoring restored, and a local team that answers.

Solar System Replacement

Replace an aging or underperforming system — or go solar for the first time. As a repair company, we're picky: we only install equipment we're happy to service for the next 25 years.

Critter Guards

Squirrels and birds love nesting under warm panels — and chewing wires while they're there. We clear out nests and debris, then seal your array with low-profile critter guard that keeps them out for good.

Home Batteries — No Solar Required

Whole-home backup power without panels. A home battery charges from the grid and takes over the moment the power goes out — quieter than a standby generator, with no fuel, fumes, or maintenance runs.

FAQ

Common questions

My installer went out of business. Can you still fix my system?

Yes — that's one of our specialties. Thousands of PA homeowners have "orphaned" systems after their installer closed or left the state. We take over service on all major equipment: full inspection, repairs, monitoring restored, and a local number that actually answers.

Which brands do you service?

All major residential solar equipment, including Enphase, SolarEdge, SMA, Fronius, APsystems, Generac, Tesla, and more. If you're not sure what you have, no problem — that's what the diagnosis is for.

Will my manufacturer warranty cover the parts?

Often, yes. Most micro-inverters, optimizers, and panels carry 10–25 year manufacturer warranties that survive even if your installer is gone. We help you file the claim so you pay for labor, not parts, whenever possible.

Can you really get me out of my solar lease or PPA?

Every agreement is different, but you have more options than the leasing company tells you about — buyout, transfer to a home buyer, or removal. We review your contract, price out each path, and help you coordinate the one that makes sense. (We're straight with you: if staying put is your cheapest option, we'll say so.)

How much does a repair visit cost?

Start with a free Solar Triage Call — many issues can be narrowed down before we ever roll a truck. If a visit is needed, we tell you exactly what it will cost up front, and you approve a written quote before any repair work begins. No surprises.

Do you install brand-new solar systems?

Yes — we replace aging or underperforming systems, and we install new solar for first-time homeowners too. As a repair company first, we're picky about equipment: we only install what we're happy to service for the next 25 years. Already have quotes from sales companies? We'll give you an honest second opinion.
