When your solar system breaks down, stops working, or stops functioning correctly, your home will start to draw electricity from the grid. Without an electricity supply interruption, the breakdown will not necessarily be identified instantly.
It is for this reason that solar panel system owners only realise that there is a solar breakdown when they:
Our Emergency Solar Electricians respond to a variety of solar system breakdowns on a daily basis. Here are a few factors that lead to the breakdown of a solar system in Adelaide.
Solar Panels installed are designed to self-clean in the rain or when rinsed by water, however, there is an unseen dirt film that forms. Similar to your home’s windows, they look clean, until you wash them and realise how dirty they actually are. This film builds up over time and results in the increasing reduction of solar power production and efficiency of your solar panels.
Factors that affect the amount of dust and dirt on solar panels include dust storms, sea/salty air, humidity, bird poo, and in some cases tree sap.
Initially, the effect on solar production may be minimal, but when the dirt accumulates over time, power production will decrease significantly over time.
String inverter systems (the most common type of solar system in Adelaide) are the most affected as a performance reduction in one panel, affects every panel. I.e. if one panel is working at 60% efficiency, then all the panels in the array will be working at 60% efficiency.
Older Solar Systems, especially if not serviced or maintained correctly, become more susceptible to the elements that they experience on a daily basis. This leads to water leaks, cracked panels, loose connections, exposed cabling, and more. All this results in reduced performance or the breakdown of the system.
While quality solar panels are robust and made to last, they can crack. Reason for cracked solar panels include hail, hot spots, heating & cooling stresses, poor bond-breakers, hard objects dropping on the panels, panels incorrectly packaged, during transport, dropped panels, or people standing on panels.
When micro-cracks or cracks occur, the panels become susceptible to water ingress and experience increased shading. All of which result in reduced performance or a solar breakdown. Our emergency solar electricians will analyse the issue and ensure that the correct replacement panel is provided. Whether your solar panel is in or out of warranty, we will ensure that your system is fixed fast and working correctly again.
Loose solar cables and wiring is susceptible to weather factors such as heat and wind, and animals seeking refuge or nesting under solar panels.
Recalled solar isolators are a serious issue for rooftop solar, similar to the Takata airbag recall, it’s a ticking time bomb. Our emergency solar electricians have responded to many smouldering and burnt out solar isolators, which needed to be extinguished by a fire extinguisher. The majority of these were found to be on the recall list. Unfortunately, there are 1000s more on Adelaide homes.
A simple Solar Service, Inspection and Clean will identify this.
Water ingress into an inverter is a serious fire hazard. Our Solar Electricians experience this with older or recalled isolators. If identified early by a Solar service by an experienced and certified solar electrician, the costs will be minimal and your system’s production will not be negatively affected. Late identification results in expensive repairs, system changeovers, and house fires in bad cases.
This sounds like a random comment, cleaning with soap should leave the panels clean right. Well, soap leaves a film or residue that casts shadows and negatively affects energy output. We recommend that solar panel cleaning be conducted with the correct products by a certified solar electrician – Read more about our Solar System Service, Check and Clean.
For Adelaide residents who installed solar pre-2012 and signed up for the High Feed-In Tariff, your system is old. It is advised that you look after this system and have it serviced and repaired correctly to maintain the rewards of a high feed-in tariff.

A rusting inverter is a sign of age or an inverter that has been installed in an incorrect area that is susceptible to rusting, such as on the outside wall of a seaside property.
If you live in an area that experiences salty air and is susceptible to rusting, you will need to ensure that you invest in the right inverter and have it installed in the correct place to manage those conditions.
If your Solar Inverter is showing an Inverter Fault or has broken down, call our experienced & trusted certified solar electricians for the right advice.
If there is any issue with your solar panel system, your solar isolator should indicate a fault, however, electrical hazards on your system will trip the solar safety switch to help protect from electrocution, fire, or additional hazards.
Solar Panel systems that have no Isolators were installed pre-2012, since then safety regulations have improved to ensure that solar isolators and solar isolator covers are installed on all rooftop solar panel systems
Our inspection included in our Solar Service, Inspection and Clean, will identify if your solar panel system and isolator are up to Australian safety regulations.
This is generally a sign of older isolators that become brittle from the intense sun rays and colder winter weather experienced in Adelaide. The dangers of this water ingress that results in a solar system breakdown, fire hazard or the need for an emergency solar electrician.
