Information gathering, not DIY diagnosis. Do not open electrical equipment, touch wiring or climb onto the roof to complete this enquiry. It cannot assess a hazard or arrange an emergency response.
ASSESSMENT FIRST
A fault description
is not a repair quote.
A repair provider would need to confirm whether it accepts your system, assess the issue and explain any proposed remedial work. We cannot diagnose an inverter, panel or wiring fault from this form.
- 01
Confirm the scope
Ask whether the provider works on the system brand and on equipment installed by another company.
- 02
Understand the assessment
Ask about a visit or diagnosis charge, access requirements and what the assessment will produce.
- 03
Review remedial work
Request parts, labour, access, exclusions and warranty handling in writing before agreeing work.
REPAIR QUESTIONS
Existing panels.
A different path.
Is this for solar PV or solar hot water?
This enquiry is for solar PV systems that generate electricity. Solar thermal and hot-water systems are outside this repair path. If you are unsure which you have, check your original paperwork before selecting a system type.
Can another company’s installation be repaired?
That depends on the receiving provider’s scope, equipment support and assessment. We have not confirmed a repair recipient and cannot promise acceptance of other installers’ systems.
Will an error mean I need new panels?
This guide cannot determine the cause or remedy. Record the information already available to you and ask a professional to assess it before deciding on replacement work.
Can I book an urgent repair here?
No. This enquiry form is not an urgent repair or booking service. Provider availability, timing and repair acceptance remain unconfirmed.
Make access part
of the conversation.
Tell a provider about known access restrictions or planned roof work. If proposed work may affect a listed property or require permission, check with the authority responsible for the property before agreeing it.
Bristol property and council checks ↗A BS postcode is only a starting point
