With a grid connect solar power system the key components are the solar panels and the grid connect inverter. The solar panels do not have any moving parts and are virtually problem free, the grid connect inverters on the other hand are sensitive electronic devices, and therefore if a problem was to develop with your solar power system it could possibly be with your inverter.

At Gold Coast Solar Power Solutions we use only the highest quality solar inverters, namely SMA (Sunnyboy Inverters) and Fronius inverters. We understand that if a problem was to develop with your grid connect inverter that you need it rectified as soon as possible. To make this happen Gold Coast Solar Power Solutions has partnered with Fronius International, so in the unlikely event that your Fronius inverter should develop a fault, we can have your inverter fully repaired under warranty so you can be producing power again in no time.
