The decision to invest in solar energy is a big one, and it’s often followed by the hope that your system will run smoothly and efficiently for years to come. However, what happens when your solar installer goes out of business or stops providing services? Many homeowners and businesses find themselves stranded with a system they rely on, unsure of what to do next. Thankfully, there is a solution. UpNext Solar is here to ensure that your solar energy system continues to operate effectively—whether you’re facing installation issues, system repairs, or simply need maintenance.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through the steps you can take when your solar installer is no longer in business, and how UpNext Solar can offer you the support and expertise you need.
What to Do When Your Solar Installer Goes Out of Business
- Don’t Panic—There’s Help Available
First and foremost, it’s important to remain calm. Just because your solar installer is no longer in business doesn’t mean your system is doomed. While it’s true that you may not be able to turn to the original company for support, there are plenty of alternative solutions. UpNext Solar offers reliable and professional solar panel removal, maintenance, and repair services, so you can rest assured that your system is in good hands. - Assess Your System’s Condition
If you’re experiencing issues with your solar panels or system, it’s essential to assess the situation. Is the system still producing energy? Are there noticeable issues like damaged panels, wiring problems, or inverter malfunctions? While some minor issues can be handled easily, others may require professional attention. UpNext Solar can evaluate the condition of your solar system and recommend the best course of action. - Find a New Service Provider
Finding a trusted service provider is key. Many solar companies may not specialize in system maintenance or repairs for systems they didn’t install, but UpNext Solar is different. Our team is capable of servicing almost any solar system, regardless of the original installer. We provide professional maintenance, repairs, and solar panel removal services to ensure your system continues to run smoothly. - Consider Maintenance and Upgrades
Even if your system is working fine, it might be worth considering regular maintenance to ensure its longevity and efficiency. Over time, solar panels and other components can degrade, leading to decreased energy production. UpNext Solar offers comprehensive maintenance services to keep your system in top shape, including inspections, cleaning, and troubleshooting. In some cases, it may even be time for an upgrade, and we can assist in the removal and reinstallation of newer, more efficient panels. - Contact the Manufacturer (If Possible)
If your solar installer has gone out of business, the next best step is to reach out to the manufacturer of your panels or system components. Some manufacturers provide warranties or support services for their products, even if the original installer is no longer available. If you’re unsure where to start, UpNext Solar can help guide you through the process and provide the necessary support to connect with the manufacturer. - Explore Your Warranty Options
Check to see if your system has a warranty that could help with repairs or replacements. Solar panels and inverters often come with warranties that last anywhere from 10 to 25 years. UpNext Solar can work with you to review warranty information and determine the best way to handle any repairs or component replacements under warranty.
