SOLAR HEALTH CHECK ADELAIDE AND SA
Is your solar still making what it should?
Solar systems rarely fail all at once. Output drops a little each year from dirt, shading, a failing panel or an inverter fault, and most owners only notice when the power bill creeps up.
A Yorke Solar health check finds those problems early. A licensed electrician inspects the whole system, measures what it produces and tells you what needs attention, in plain English.
Who it suits
- Systems more than five years old
- Owners who have never had their system checked
- Anyone whose bills have gone up for no obvious reason
- Homes thinking about adding a battery, EV charger or more panels
- New owners of a house that came with solar
WHAT WE CHECK
What's included in a health check
- Output. We compare what the system makes with what it should make for its size, orientation and the season.
- Panels. Cracks, discolouration, hot spots, soiling and shading.
- Mounting. Rails, clamps and roof fixings.
- DC isolators and cabling. Water entry, heat damage and loose connections.
- Inverter. Fault logs, error codes, ventilation and firmware.
- Switchboard. Solar circuit protection and labelling.
- Monitoring. Whether your system is online and reporting. If it isn’t, we reconnect it.
- Battery, if fitted. State of health, settings and backup operation.
AFTER THE CHECK
A written report and a straight answer
You get a short written report: what we found, what is urgent, what can wait, and what it would cost to fix. If nothing needs doing, we say so.
Small fixes can often be done on the day. Bigger jobs, such as an inverter replacement or a switchboard upgrade, are quoted separately.
Price
We quote the price before we book.
For a check every year without having to remember, see our solar maintenance plans.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Solar health check questions
It depends on the size of the system. We tell you how long when we book.
Once a year is a sensible default. Systems on farms, near the coast or under trees can need attention more often.
Signs include higher power bills, a red or orange light on the inverter, an error code, or monitoring that shows lower output than the same month last year.
Yes. We check and repair systems from any installer.
A new system is covered by its warranties, but a check before a warranty runs out can catch a fault while it can still be claimed.
