Solar Electrical Repair in Austin
There’s a big difference between a solar installer and a solar service electrician. We know how to fix the electrical part — licensed electricians for the electrical side of solar, the part most solar companies subcontract out.
Top Four Reasons Solar Electrical Fails
- Poor Electrical Workmanship at InstallationThis is where subcontracting during installs really hurts homeowners. The people who designed the system do not work at the same company as the crew who put it on the roof, who are different again from whoever ran the electrical on the side of your house. Add it all up and the details stack up and cause problems years into the system. We understand the entire system, so we can give you a comprehensive solution instead of one more patch.
- Rooftop Junction Boxes Fill With WaterCombiner and junction boxes that were not sealed, or were mounted flat, collect rain. Corroded terminals inside are a common cause of intermittent faults.
- Terminations Loosen With Heat CyclingConductors expand and contract every day in Texas. Connections that were not torqued to spec back out over time, and loose connections make heat.
- Disconnects and Breakers Wear OutAC and DC disconnects are mechanical devices with a service life. They fail closed, fail open, or fail to do their job at the moment it matters.
Top Four Solutions to This Problem
- Licensed Electricians, Not Solar SalespeopleEvery electrical repair is done by licensed electricians under TECL #33444. On the DC and AC side of a live system that distinction matters.
- Find the Fault Instead of GuessingInsulation resistance, continuity and voltage under load. We locate the actual fault rather than replacing parts until it stops.
- Repair to Code and Torque to SpecCorrect conductors, correct protection, sealed penetrations, torqued terminations, documented so the next person can see what was done.
- Fix the Condition That Caused ItA box that keeps filling with water needs relocating or resealing, not a new terminal block every two years.
