Frequently asked questions about broken inverters

Inverters can break down for various reasons. Besides internal damage, which can often be lead back to component fatigue, lightning and overvoltage can be the cause of damage. If your inverter breaks down because of lightning or overvoltage, the insurance company usually answers for the damages. Within the warranty period, internal damage is born by the manufacturer.

Note down the manufacturer name, the inverter type, and the serial number. This information can all be found on the type plate of your inverter.

After a skilled electrician has dismantled the inverter, is should be properly packaged for transport. The inverter should either be placed in a carton box or on a pallet. Make sure that all connections are protected to avoid further damages.

How long it takes to repair your inverter always depends on the kind of damage and on how busy the repair shop is. It usually takes between 6 and 9 days, excluding transport.

The costs of an inverter repair are made up of two things. Checking the appliance costs around €150. The repair itself costs between €400 and €800, depending on the size in kWp of the appliance. A definitive cost overview can only be created after the check. The costs for the check are then offset with the repair costs.

Modern inverters are all pretty similar on a technological level. If you look at how they are built, they all have the same or similar component parts. Therefore, an inverter repair is possible for almost all appliances.

A professional can exchange most components fairly easily. If this however does not have the desired effect, SecondSol can help you procure a replacement inverter.
