Professional Solar System
Repair in San Diego
If your solar panels are underperforming, your inverter is flashing an error code, or your installer has gone out of business. Unlike the big national installers, we specialize in repairing existing residential systems.
At Always On Electric, we carry diagnostic equipment for all major solar brands and have the C-10 electrical license to repair anything from the panels down to your main panel. Most repairs are completed in a single visit.
We serve San Diego County, that means faster response times and a technician who knows the local grid, local permitting, and local conditions.

WHY IT MATTERS
Why Every San Diego Solar Owner Needs a Local Repair Expert
A malfunctioning solar system costs you money every single day. Is your installer not reliable? That's where we come in.
⚡
Stop Losing Money Daily
A system producing at 50% output can cost you hundreds in lost credits per month. Every day of delay adds up. We get your system producing again fast.
📋
Keep Your NEM Agreement
San Diego homeowners on NEM 2.0 are grandfathered into favorable rates. A prolonged outage may jeopardize your agreement with SDG&E — fix it fast.
🔋
Protect Your Battery Investment
Battery storage systems like the Powerwall need proper charge management to last 10+ years. A small repair now prevents a full replacement later.
🌩️
Storm & Surge Protection
Surge damage from grid events is common in SD. We document all damage for insurance claims and restore your system to pre-event production levels.
🏠
Protect Your Home Value
A broken solar system is a red flag for home buyers. A properly functioning, documented system adds $20,000–$40,000 to your San Diego property value. We offer system health checks for both buyers and sellers.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Home Solar Repair FAQs — San Diego
Q
HOW MUCH DOES A HOME SOLAR REPAIR TYPICALLY COST IN SAN DIEGO?
Costs vary by the issue: simple fixes run $150–$300, microinverters $250–$500, and string inverters $1,200–$2,500. We always provide a flat-rate, upfront quote before starting work.
Q
DO I NEED A PERMIT TO REPAIR MY SOLAR SYSTEM IN SAN DIEGO?
Typically replacing like for like components do not require permits.
Q
WILL I NEED AN ELECTRICAL PANEL UPGRADE FOR A SOLAR REPAIR?
It depends on your current electrical setup. Older panels (100A or less) may need an upgrade to safely handle an inverter replacement or system expansion. We assess your main panel as part of every diagnostic visit and only recommend an upgrade if it is genuinely necessary.
Q
What Does My Warranty Cover?
Most manufacturers offer product warranties that cover replacement parts. In some cases this may be a pro-rated amount and may not cover the labor associated with replacement.
Q
WHAT BRANDS OF SOLAR SYSTEMS DO YOU REPAIR FOR RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES?
We repair all major residential brands including SolarEdge, Enphase, SunPower, Tesla/Powerwall, Fronius, SMA, LG, Hanwha Q Cells, REC, Panasonic, and more. We are not limited to systems we originally installed — we fix what others won't.
Q
HOW LONG DOES THE SOLAR REPAIR PROCESS TAKE?
Diagnostics take 1–2 hours, and we often complete straightforward repairs the same day. A detailed timeline will be provided with your repair quote.
