Signs Your Solar Panels Need Repair

Reduced Power Output

If your solar production has dropped unexpectedly, it may be caused by damaged cells, debris buildup, inverter failure, or electrical issues. A professional inspection can pinpoint the problem quickly.

Cracks or Physical Damage

Cracks or holes in solar panels often result from storms, debris, or impact damage. Even small cracks can lead to moisture intrusion and long-term system failure.

Blistering or Peeling Panels

Blistering, bubbling, or peeling on the panel surface is a sign of heat stress, UV exposure, or moisture damage and should be addressed immediately.

Panel Discoloration

Yellowing or dark spots on panels may indicate internal damage or manufacturing defects that reduce efficiency.

Broken Glass Near Panels

Broken glass poses both safety and performance risks. Any damaged glass should be repaired by a licensed professional as soon as possible.

Solar Panel Service & Maintenance

Routine solar panel maintenance is just as important as installation. Dirt, dust, pollen, and debris common in Cedar City, Duck Creek, and Brian Head can significantly reduce solar output. Regular solar panel service helps:
  • Improve energy production
  • Extend system lifespan
  • Prevent costly repairs
  • Maintain warranty compliance
Our maintenance services include cleaning, inspections, electrical checks, and performance evaluations.

When Should You Service Your Solar Panels?

Most solar systems should be professionally serviced every one to two years, or sooner if you notice performance changes. Homes near dirt roads, high winds, or heavy snowfall may benefit from more frequent inspections.

Preventative maintenance ensures your system continues operating efficiently while protecting your long-term return on investment.

Frequently Asked Questions: Solar Panel Repair and Maintenance

How do I know if my solar panels need repair?

Common signs include a noticeable drop in energy production, error codes on your inverter, visible physical damage (cracked glass, discoloration, or delamination), or the system failing to restart after a power outage. Fowler Electric LLC performs diagnostic inspections throughout Cedar City and Southern Utah.

How long do solar panels last?

High-quality solar panels typically last 25 to 30 years, often with manufacturer performance warranties. The U.S. Department of Energy notes that a PV system can generate more energy over its lifetime than was used to produce it. Regular maintenance extends useful life.

Can I repair my solar panels myself?

No. Solar PV systems produce live DC voltage at the array even when the inverter is off. Repairs to panels, wiring, inverters, and disconnects must be performed by a licensed electrician. Working on a live system without proper training and equipment creates serious electrocution risk.

Does solar panel repair affect my federal tax credit?

Routine maintenance and repairs do not affect the original Residential Clean Energy Credit (IRS Form 5695), which applies to the initial installation cost. If the repair involves replacing major components such as inverters, consult a tax professional about whether those costs may qualify for credits in the year of replacement.

What areas in Southern Utah do you serve for solar repair?

Fowler Electric LLC serves Cedar City, St. George, Brian Head, Duck Creek, Parowan, and surrounding communities within approximately 100 miles. Call 435-682-3866 to confirm service availability.
