Can you repair your own solar panels?

Solar panels are a significant investment, so it is understandable that you may want to try and repair them yourself if they become damaged. We recommend that you do not ever attempt to repair solar panels on your own. Below are a few reasons why:

  1. Safety concerns: Solar panels contain high voltage electricity, which can be dangerous if you are not trained to work with it. Only trained professionals should handle solar panel repairs to avoid the risk of injury.
  1. Warranty issues: Most solar panels come with a warranty but attempting to repair them yourself will most likely void the warranty. If you attempt to repair the panels yourself and something goes wrong, your original issue and any additional damage, will not be covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
  1. Lack of expertise: Solar panel repair can be a complex process, and it requires a certain level of expertise to do it correctly. If you are not familiar with the inner workings of solar panels, you may not be able to successfully repair them.

In general, it is best to leave solar panel repairs to the professionals. If your panels are damaged, contact a solar panel repair company to assess the damage and make the necessary repairs. This will ensure that your panels are repaired correctly and safely, and it will also protect your investment by preserving your warranty.
