When an inverter fails, your panels keep collecting sunlight but your property gets no solar power. Many inverters reach the end of their life well before the panels do, so replacement is a normal part of owning solar. It is also a good moment to decide whether to replace like-for-like or upgrade to a hybrid inverter that can run a battery now or later.

We match the new inverter to your existing panels and strings, your switchboard and your plans. Our range includes quality string and hybrid inverters from GoodWe, Fox ESS, Sungrow and Sigenergy. Replacement starts from $1,990 for a 5 kW inverter, supplied and installed. This is an indicative starting price; the final fixed price is confirmed in writing after a site assessment.

What's included

  • Site assessment of panels, string configuration, switchboard and inverter location
  • Recommendation of like-for-like or battery-ready hybrid options
  • Supply of a new inverter with the manufacturer's warranty
  • Removal of the old inverter and responsible e-waste disposal
  • Installation and connection by our licensed electricians and SAA-accredited installers
  • Grid protection settings, commissioning and testing
  • Set-up of the monitoring app and a walk-through for you
  • Network notification or application where required

Why Blue Energy Solar

We install and support the inverter brands we sell, so we know how they perform and how to set them up properly. We check the condition of your panels and wiring before recommending a replacement, because a new inverter on a faulty array won't solve the problem. We are a New Energy Tech Approved Seller with $20 million public liability cover, and our licensed electricians handle every connection.

Recommended for

Owners of solar systems with a failed, out-of-warranty or ageing inverter, especially those thinking about adding a battery.

Battery-ready is worth considering. A hybrid inverter can connect a compatible battery later. Under the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program, a battery installed with existing solar can receive roughly 30% off the installed cost via STCs, with the value stepping down every 1 January and 1 July to 2030. Confirm current values on the official program page before signing.

A replacement inverter on its own does not usually create STCs. If the inverter size changes, a new network application may be needed. The price depends on inverter size and type, single-phase or three-phase supply, cable runs, switchboard work and whether the inverter needs to move to a cooler or more accessible location.

Directions

1. Request a quote and send photos of your inverter label, any error message and your switchboard.
2. We assess the system and recommend like-for-like or hybrid options.
3. You receive a fixed written quote, and we lodge any network paperwork needed.
4. We schedule installation, remove the old inverter and install the new one.
5. We commission and test the system and set up your monitoring app.

Frequently Asked Questions

If your panels are in good condition and the system still suits your needs, replacing the inverter is usually the cost-effective choice. If the panels are very old, damaged or too small for your household, a larger upgrade may be better value. We check the panels and wiring during the assessment and give you honest options.

Sometimes. A larger inverter may make better use of your panels or prepare for extra panels or a battery, but it can change your network approval and export limit. We check what your panels support and what your network allows, then handle any application needed before installation.

A string inverter converts solar DC power into AC for your property. A hybrid inverter does that and can also manage a compatible battery, charging it from solar and supplying your home in the evening. Hybrids cost more upfront, but they avoid the need for a separate battery inverter later if storage is part of your plans.

Check the installation date and the manufacturer's warranty terms. Standard inverter warranties are commonly 5 to 10 years, and some manufacturers offer extensions. If your unit is still covered, a warranty claim may be the better first step, and we can help diagnose the fault. Some warranties cover the unit but not installation labour.
