Faults & Maintenance
Like anything, solar power systems may sometimes fail. Whether that’s an inverter fault, faulty panels, reduced performance or anything else relating to your solar system, we’re here to figure it out, and sort it out.
Our experts will test your system and identify the faulty components. Then we’ll replace this equipment to get you back up and running with the minimum of turnaround time.
Electrical issues
Solar production issues can be caused by earth faults in solar panels or inverter, faulty wiring or faulty components. Consulting an electrician that specialises in solar panel work is the best way to resolve these faults.
Microfractures
Also known as microcracks represent a form of cell degradation and as the name suggests, can appear as small fractures or cracks in the solar cells. They can vary in length and can affect the energy output and system lifetime. Care should be taken in the delivery and installation process to prevent this and install only reputable products.
Hot spots
The most common issue with solar panels, hot spots are caused by the overheating of a certain area within a solar cell. Poorly soldered connections, poor manufacturing processes and accumulated dirt on panels are two common causes of overheating solar cells. Long term, this can cause reduced function, or even render the solar panels unrepairable and unusable.
Potential Induced Degradation (PID
The PID effect stems from a voltage difference between the electrical ground and the solar panel. Over time, PID can reduce the lifespan of solar panels, by reducing their efficiency and performance. The solution may be solar panel maintenance.
Birds nesting in the solar panel system
Birds and possums nesting beneath solar panels can restrict their short-term and long-term functionality. Rodent proofing solutions such as solar skirting around the perimeter of the solar array can help reduce this.
Snail Trails
Brown lines on panels, similar to that of a snail's trail, can be the result of defective silver paste causing condensation and oxidisation within solar cells, leading to performance issues and failure.
Damage to Roofs & Roof Related Issues
In rare cases, solar panels or mounting systems can damage the structure or integrity of your roof if dissimilar metals are installed touching each other thus creating an unsafe situation.
Inverter problems
Solar panels work by converting energy from the sun's DC current to the AC current used in houses and buildings through solar inverters. Most solar inverter brands last up to 10 years, but the good quality solar panels lasts for up to 25 years. The solution is often either inverter repairs or installing new inverters to facilitate longer usage of the solar system.
Our experts will test your system and identify what faulty components need repair. We’ll then replace this equipment to get you back up and running with the minimum of turnaround time.

Solar Advice
Of course, sometimes replacing the old failing system with a new solar system makes the best financial sense, particularly when the original system isn’t of the best quality. In that case, we’re happy to provide you with full solar advice so you can be sure you’re getting the best system for your needs. And that it’s backed by fantastic warranties of up to 25 years that will prevent you from having to replace another system in a short amount of time.
Solar Maintenance
The Australian & New Zealand Standards AS/NZS 5033:2021 recommends regular periodic inspection and maintenance of solar systems. Doing this helps you make sure there are no hotspots on panels, damaged cables or any other problems that will stop your system from performing as it should.
3D Energy has Clean Energy Council accredited electricians that can perform this work and provide a full solar maintenance report. If we do find any problems, we can provide recommendations and solutions that will help you to get the best out of your system. This includes panel cleaning or installing solar skirting around the solar array to avoid possums and pigeons damaging your equipment.
For a small outlay you can have peace of mind that your system is operating efficiently and safely with no risk of potential fire hazards from hotspots.

“We are so pleased to have worked with 3D Energy."
Matt's experience with solar and his wealth of knowledge enabled us to feel confident with his recommendation of what system to use. The crew turned up on time, on the day they were supposed to and completed the job as planned. At all times they were professional and courteous. A great company to deal with.
"Highly recommended!”
Matt and the Crew from 3D Energy were organised, highly efficient, and finished the job ahead of schedule. They had a heavy solar installation workload, as well as rectification electrical and new compliant smoke detector work, and it was all done in accordance with the quote. Matt made the whole process very easy, and has even identified an Energex issue and helped with the fault report.
"We would have no hesitation in recommending them...”
Matt explained everything we needed in detail, in a professional manner and answered all our questions. We never felt pushed or hurried to make a decision but when we did Matt (and Tom) were prompt, helpful and efficiently completed our solar installation. We would have no hesitation in recommending them for any electrical work, and already have done so to family / colleagues.
"I would thoroughly recommend Matt and 3D Energy for any electrical & solar work.”
3D Energy helped with a warranty issue with a faulty inverter installed by another company, I could not have asked for any better service. Warranty went through quickly and easily. We then had Matt move the inverter to a different location at our house. His work was exceptional as well as being very clean and tidy. Matt's communication with what he was going to do, when he was going to do it and cost was also excellent.
"Thank you to Matt and the team, we are very pleased with the work that was done. :D”
3D Energy have just installed a solar system on our property, and the outcome has been exceptional. The solar output has been better than originally expected and I will definitely be using them again for other electrical work needed on our home. They arrived at the specified time, were very thorough, professional and explained the process. I will be strongly recommending them to friends who also need electrical work done.
"I would not hesitate to recommend 3D Energy to anyone considering using them.”
“When I was making inquiries with work colleagues about installing Solar, I was informed about 3D Energy and the installations he had done previously. Matt had been given very high praise for his professionalism and work ethic. I contacted Matt and received a quote and very good explanation on the system, the pricing was competitive and all products used of the highest quality. The installation went well and the finished product not only functions well but looks good, it was evident that Matt had a lot of pride in the work he completes. Thanks Matt and Callum.”
