The short answer

A failing solar inverter usually shows up as an error light, a blank screen, low or zero generation in the app, or a breaker that keeps tripping. On typical NG Elec jobs in 2026 a replacement costs about $1,800 to $2,200 incl GST, and an inspection and report starts from $220. We can fit a hybrid inverter so you're ready for a battery later.

Is this you?

Signs your inverter is failing

Red light or error code

Most inverters show a fault light or code on the screen. Take a photo of it before you call, it helps us work out what's going on.

Generation has dropped or stopped

If your app or bill shows much less solar than the same time last year, the inverter is one of the first things we check.

The screen is blank or it's gone quiet

No display and no usual hum during the day can mean the inverter has shut down. Check the solar isolators and breaker are on first.

Monitoring has dropped out

Sometimes it's just the wifi. If you've got a Sungrow, try our Sungrow wifi guide before booking a call-out.

It keeps tripping or clicking off

Repeated tripping can point to an inverter fault or a problem elsewhere in the system, like the panels or wiring. That needs a licensed electrician to test it.

What we do

What we do

We find the actual fault first, then give you options with prices, so you're not replacing parts that don't need replacing.

Test the whole system

We check the inverter, panels, isolators and wiring. A fault that looks like the inverter can sometimes be somewhere else. Inspection and report from $220.

Repair or replace advice

If it's still under the manufacturer's warranty or a repair makes sense, we'll tell you. If it's not worth fixing, we'll say so and quote a replacement.

Hybrid inverter so you're battery-ready

If you're replacing anyway, a hybrid inverter lets you add a battery later without another inverter swap. We'll explain whether it suits your setup and budget.

Your feed-in arrangement

Some older systems are on feed-in arrangements worth keeping. We'll check how a replacement affects your current feed-in arrangement before we quote, so you can decide with the full picture.

Approval and old unit removed

We handle the SA Power Networks paperwork, fit and commission the new inverter, and take the old one away.

Monitoring set up

We connect the new inverter to your wifi and app so you can see what your system is doing from day one.

FAQ

Questions people ask us.

How much does a solar inverter replacement cost in Adelaide?

On typical NG Elec jobs in 2026, about $1,800 to $2,200 incl GST. A hybrid inverter, three phase supply or extra wiring work can change that. Every quote is free and itemised.

Should I repair or replace my inverter?

It depends on the fault, the inverter's age and whether it's still under the manufacturer's warranty. We test it first and give you an honest answer. If a repair or warranty claim makes more sense, we'll tell you.

Will a new inverter affect my feed-in tariff?

It can, depending on your current arrangement and what you replace it with. We'll check how a replacement affects your current feed-in arrangement before we quote, so you know where you stand before deciding.

Should I get a hybrid inverter?

If you think you'll want a battery in the next few years, a hybrid inverter is usually worth looking at. It lets the battery connect later without swapping the inverter again. We'll talk through whether it suits your system. See our solar battery page for more.

Is it my inverter or my panels?

Sometimes it's hard to tell from the ground. Low output can come from the inverter, a panel fault, shading, dirt or wiring. That's why we test the whole system. Our solar repairs and maintenance page covers the other common faults.

My inverter app shows nothing. Is it broken?

Not always. Monitoring often drops out when your wifi changes. If the inverter screen looks normal, check the wifi connection first. Our Sungrow wifi guide shows how for Sungrow inverters.

Can I turn my solar back on myself?

You can check that the solar breaker and isolators are on, following the shutdown and startup label near your inverter. Don't open the inverter or touch wiring. If it still won't run, book a licensed electrician.
