String and micro-inverter installs and replacements to restore full system output – for new solar systems and aging arrays alike.
The inverter is the heart of a solar system. When it fails, production stops. When it's undersized or aging, you leave energy on the table. We install and replace inverters so your system actually delivers what it's supposed to.
Error codes on the display, flatlined production in your monitoring app, unusual noise or shutting down in the middle of the day are all signs an inverter is failing.
Most string inverters last 10–15 years, and many original systems in Southern California are hitting that window right now – a lot of the systems installed during the county's early-2010s solar boom are due for an inverter swap regardless of anything else being wrong with the array.
String inverters are simpler and cost less upfront but rely on the whole array working evenly. Micro-inverters or optimizers let each panel produce independently, which usually wins on complex roofs or shaded arrays.
We recommend based on your roof and usage – not on whichever product we happen to install most.
We remove the old inverter, inspect wiring and connections, install and configure the new unit, and verify system performance end-to-end. Utility notifications are handled where required.
Pick a day and time that works for you and one of our solar technicians will diagnose the issue on site - no phone tag required.
Most inverter replacements are a same-day job. Full micro-inverter retrofits across a whole array take longer since each panel gets touched.
If battery storage is on your radar even if you're not ready today, it's worth installing a hybrid or battery-ready inverter now rather than paying to swap it again later. We'll flag when that upgrade makes sense based on your goals so you're not boxed into a second replacement in a year or two.
A properly configured monitoring setup will flag a dip in a specific string or panel well before it becomes a total inverter failure. Part of our install and replacement process is making sure your monitoring app and any manufacturer alerts are actually set up and reachable, so problems get caught in weeks, not discovered a year later on a surprise utility bill.
