Got a faulty SMA solar inverter? We can help!

If your solar power panels and system are running on an SMA inverter, you’re definitely not alone – in Australia alone, there are no fewer than 750,000 of them turning that raw energy from your SMA solar panels into the useable AC power that our household electricity needs demand. That’s a whopping 35 percent of the entire country’s solar power supplied with friendly SMA service – and supported by the skilled and fully (CEC)-qualified solar power electricians right here at Solar Repair Service.

SMA solar inverters are used for grid-connection systems, stand-alone grids, small houses, big houses and commercial systems demanding big Megawatts. SMA is loved in Australia, is the leading European solar inverter brand, and is known all around the world for its:

• Future proof solutions
• Intelligent solar power features
• Optimised power yields
• Pioneering digital platform.

But as we suggested above, before too long there will be an incredible 1 million SMA inverters all across our sun-drenched country – including in our beautiful service area stretching from Brisbane to the Sunshine Coast, and from Moreton Bay to Redland Bay and beyond. At Solar Repair Service, we’ve decades of combined, hands-on solar power experience in working on and successfully maintaining and repairing the heart of your solar power system – your SMA inverter.

What’s up with your SMA solar inverter?

If you selected SMA inverters for your solar setup, it’s because of their reputation for quality, reliability and longevity. In fact, as of October 2021, SMA was happily adding 5 years to standard full SMA inverter warranties!

If you’re good with your inverter maintenance schedule, you can expect to get at least 15 years of optimised performance from your SMA inverter. After that, or perhaps before, it’s to be expected that you may begin to notice your inverter not quite working as before.

• Not turning on: The inverter may have tripped, the terminals may be loose or the inverter could have failed.
• Battery not charging: It might be a dead battery, but the rectifiers and fuses might also have burned out.
• Short backup time: Perhaps you’ve just consumed too much power, but your inverter may also not be converting electricity optimally due to a problem.
• Alarms & codes: SMA inverters are designed either to sound an alarm or show an error code if something’s wrong, with one of the main reasons being a failed cooling fan.
• Noise: Some noise from your SMA inverter is normal, but if you’ve noticed it’s louder than usual or otherwise worrying, get in touch with our team.

Unfortunately, the common problems with SMA inverters listed above is not exhaustive, so keep your eyes and ears peeled for:

• Blank screens
•  Flashing lights & alarms
• Error codes
• Signs & smells of overheating
• Discharging battery
• Poor energy generation
• Short circuits
• Failure to re-start.
