Solar panel repair in Florence, SC

Local failure patterns

What actually fails in Florence

Florence repair calls are dominated by two things: heat and neglect. Pee Dee summers push inverters hard, and units installed in unventilated spaces or in full afternoon sun fail earlier than their rating suggests. Ask us to look at where the inverter sits as well as what it is doing, because relocating or shading it is frequently a cheaper intervention than replacing it a second time in five years.

The neglect half is more recoverable. Plenty of systems here have monitoring that has never been properly commissioned, so nobody has ever seen what the array actually produces. We start there, rebuilding the production record from whatever data exists, because on a system with no history the fault is usually identifiable from the shape of the output long before anyone gets on the roof.

The physical conditions help. Pee Dee lots are generously sized with pines around the house rather than over it, so full-day shading is less common than in the older coastal markets and the shade-versus-equipment question is usually easier to settle. Where the meter sits on Duke Energy Progress or on one of the surrounding cooperatives, we confirm the account before any repair that changes capacity or inverter model.

Written for Florence specifically. Your own roof, bill and meter still decide the answer, which is what the free assessment settles.

Orphaned systems

Your installer closed. Your system is still yours.

South Carolina has roughly fifteen years of installed rooftop solar behind it, and a good number of the companies that sold those systems are no longer trading. If you are searching for repair in Florence because the number on your paperwork does not connect any more, you are not in an unusual position.

Here is the honest picture on your coverage. Manufacturer warranties on your panels and inverter usually survive, because they attach to the equipment rather than to the installer, and they are often 25 years on panels. What does not survive is the original company's workmanship warranty. Nobody can honour that on their behalf, and any company telling you otherwise is not being straight with you.

What we can do is diagnose the fault, tell you which manufacturer coverage still applies and help you make the claim, quote honestly for anything not covered, and stand behind our own work with our lifetime warranty on what we install or reinstall.

Bring whatever paperwork you have, even if it is incomplete. Panel and inverter model numbers and the install date are the useful parts, and we can read most of that off the equipment if the documents are gone.

What our warranty covers

Roof replacement

Panel removal and reinstall in Florence

One sequence, one party accountable for the roof and the array, and our roof-penetration warranty on the result. What a detach-and-reset involves generally is covered in removal and reinstallation for roof work.

Inland, so salt exposure is not a factor and wind loading is lower than on the coast. Florence County structural review and South Carolina code still apply. A reinstall is also a chance to correct mounting that was marginal the first time.

One thing to know before you plan a reinstall: if your system has to be re-interconnected, Duke Energy Progress's current Duke's current residential solar rate structure terms may apply rather than the terms your system was originally signed up under. That is worth understanding before you commit to a sequence, and we will walk you through it.
