A solar system is not fit-and-forget. Panels get dirty, inverters develop faults, and output drifts down slowly enough that most owners never notice. We service and repair rooftop systems across Kerala — including systems we did not install — backed by remote monitoring and a 10-year service warranty on our own work.
The failure mode that costs owners the most is not a dead system — that gets noticed the same day. It is a system quietly running at seventy percent, month after month, because of dust on the panels, a string that dropped offline, or a shading problem that appeared when a tree grew.
Nobody spots that from their electricity bill, because bills move around anyway with weather and usage. It only shows up if somebody is actually looking at generation data and comparing it against what the system should be producing for the season. That is what monitoring is for, and it is why we fit it as standard.
Panel cleaning is the visible part, and in Kerala the monsoon does a good deal of it for you — but the dry months, and dust from nearby construction or roadworks, still build up enough to matter. The rest of a service is electrical: checking connections and earthing, inspecting the mounting structure for corrosion, reading inverter error logs, and comparing actual generation against expected.
Coastal installations near Kozhikode, Kannur and Thrissur need the structure checked more carefully than inland ones, because salt air attacks mounting hardware and enclosures long before it affects the panels themselves.
We take on service and repair work for systems installed by other companies, including ones where the original installer is no longer around — which is a common enough situation in a market that has grown as fast as this one.
The first visit on an unfamiliar system is a full assessment rather than a routine service, because we need to know what is actually up there and how it was wired before we can tell you what it needs. Sometimes the answer is that the system is fine and just needed cleaning. Sometimes it is that the original installation has problems worth fixing properly.
A full service once a year suits most rooftop systems here, with cleaning more often if you are near construction, a busy road, or heavy tree cover. The monsoon handles a lot of the cleaning, but it is the electrical and structural checks that matter most, and those are annual regardless.
Yes, including ones whose original installer has gone. The first visit is a full assessment rather than a routine service, because we need to establish what is installed and how it was wired before recommending anything.
Usually you cannot tell from your electricity bill, because bills move with weather and usage anyway. It takes generation data compared against what the system should produce for the season. If you have monitoring, check it; if you do not, an assessment visit will establish where you stand.
In most cases yes — a good share of inverter faults are configuration, grid-side or connection issues rather than a failed unit. We read the error logs and diagnose before recommending a replacement, because replacing a working inverter is an expensive way to fix a loose connection.
We carry a 10-year service warranty across Kerala on systems we install, alongside the manufacturer warranties — up to 25–30 years on panels and 10–12 years on inverters. For systems installed by others, we quote repair work case by case after assessment.
