Solar panel repair in Hanahan, SC

Local failure patterns

What actually fails in Hanahan

Proximity is the practical point in Hanahan: we are minutes away, and a system that is offline is losing production every single day it waits. What we most commonly find on the older systems here is an inverter at end of life, or a disconnect that tripped during a storm and was simply left, because the original installer had gone and nobody wanted to be the one climbing into the loft to look.

The utility question comes back at repair time too. Berkeley Electric Cooperative serves many addresses here and Dominion Energy South Carolina serves others, and if a repair changes the system's capacity or replaces the inverter with a different model, the cooperative may want notifying before it goes back on line. We handle that paperwork as part of the job rather than leaving you to discover it after the fact.

Where a system predates the current housing on the street, we also look at what has grown. Established Hanahan lots carry mature canopy and the newer pockets are more open, so two systems a mile apart can have completely different explanations for the same drop in output. Measuring rather than assuming is the only way to tell a shading problem from an equipment problem, and they have very different price tags.

Written for Hanahan 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 Hanahan 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 Hanahan

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.

Close enough to the coast that wind loading and salt exposure are real design inputs, and Berkeley County structural requirements 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, Dominion Energy South Carolina's current Solar Choice 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.
