Solar Repair
& Maintenance
Solar system not working—and can’t get your original installer to help?
Sundial Solar Services provides professional solar repair, troubleshooting, maintenance, and warranty service throughout Volusia and Flagler Counties. Based in Ormond Beach, we specialize in servicing existing solar systems, including taking over service when the original installer has gone out of business or is no longer available.
Start with the problem
A solar system that isn’t working properly doesn’t always need to be replaced. Whether the system has stopped working completely, isn’t performing the way it used to, is displaying an error, has suffered storm or roof-related damage, or simply needs a professional inspection, Sundial’s goal is to identify the problem and recommend the appropriate solution.
Common solar problems
Solar Problems We Diagnose & Repair
Florida solar equipment is exposed to intense heat and UV, heavy rain, thunderstorms and tropical weather, high winds, coastal salt air, roof work, and normal equipment aging. These conditions can affect production, communications, electrical components, plumbing, attachments, and controls.
Common problems we investigate include:
- Little or no solar production
- Unexpected production decreases
- Inverter faults and error messages
- Monitoring and communication problems
- Battery-system problems
- Damaged wiring, connectors, conduit, or components
- Storm or weather damage
- Problems following roofing work
- Roof attachment or penetration concerns
- Solar pool-heating leaks or poor heating
- Solar water-heating problems
- Aging or failed equipment
You do not need to diagnose the problem yourself before requesting service. Tell us what you are seeing, hearing, or noticing, and we can begin with a professional inspection and troubleshooting process.

Original installer gone?
Is Your Original Solar Company No Longer in Business?
Sundial specializes in taking over service and maintenance for existing solar systems when the original installer has closed, stopped servicing the area, or is otherwise unavailable.
We work on many systems originally installed by other contractors, including solar electric, battery storage, solar pool heating, and solar water heating. If you have system records, equipment information, monitoring details, or recent error messages, sharing them when you request service can help us prepare for the visit.
Warranty-related support
Solar Warranty Service
Sundial performs warranty service and warranty-related repair work on qualifying equipment. If a failed component may be covered by a manufacturer warranty, we can evaluate the equipment and help determine the appropriate service or replacement process.
Warranty eligibility depends on the manufacturer, the equipment, applicable warranty terms, and the individual system. Inspection or service by Sundial does not guarantee warranty coverage or approval.
Solar Electric System Repair
Solar electric systems can experience inverter shutdowns, error codes, monitoring failures, communication problems, damaged wiring or components, battery issues, and unexplained production losses. Sundial can inspect and troubleshoot the system to identify the source of the problem and recommend an appropriate repair, component replacement, or maintenance plan.

Solar Pool Heating Repair
Pool-heating problems may include leaking or damaged collectors, loose or failed connections, plumbing leaks, controller and sensor faults, flow problems, or a pool that is no longer heating as expected. Sundial can evaluate the collectors, plumbing, controls, and related equipment to determine what needs attention.

Solar Water Heater Repair
Solar water-heating systems may develop problems with collectors, storage tanks, pumps, circulation equipment, valves, sensors, controllers, or plumbing. We troubleshoot the system as a whole so the recommendation reflects the actual condition of the equipment.

Practical recommendations
Repair or Replace?
A malfunction does not automatically mean the entire solar system needs to be replaced. The appropriate recommendation depends on the system’s age and condition, equipment and parts availability, the extent of the damage, and the economics of repair compared with replacement.
Sundial’s goal is to diagnose the problem first, then explain whether repair, maintenance, component replacement, or a broader system update is the most practical path.
Built for local conditions
Solar Service for Florida Conditions
Florida solar systems operate through intense heat, year-round UV exposure, heavy rain, thunderstorms, tropical weather, high winds, and periods of coastal salt-air exposure. Equipment also changes as it ages, and roofing projects can introduce additional service needs.
Our troubleshooting approach considers these local conditions when inspecting collectors, panels, wiring, conduit, roof attachments, plumbing, electronics, controls, batteries, and monitoring equipment.
Planning roof work?
Roof Replacement: Solar Removal & Reinstallation
Solar equipment should be properly removed before reroofing and carefully reinstalled after the roof work is complete. Planning the removal and reinstallation with qualified solar service professionals helps protect the equipment, roof attachments, wiring, plumbing, and system performance.
Sundial handles solar removal and reinstallation for reroofing projects. Learn more about Solar Removal & Reinstallation for Roof Replacement. Request solar service to discuss the system and roofing schedule.
Answers before service
Solar Repair FAQs
Clear answers about existing systems, equipment compatibility, warranty work and Florida service needs.
Do you repair solar systems installed by another company?
Yes. Sundial works on many existing solar systems originally installed by other contractors. Service availability depends on the system, equipment, condition, and parts availability.
What if my original solar company went out of business?
Sundial specializes in taking over service and maintenance when an original installer has closed, left the area, or is otherwise unavailable.
My inverter is showing an error. Can you diagnose it?
Yes. We troubleshoot inverter faults and error messages along with related wiring, monitoring, communication, production, and battery issues.
Why Is My Solar System Producing Less Power?
Not necessarily. Reduced production can have several causes, including inverter, wiring, monitoring, shading, equipment, or communication problems. Troubleshooting should identify the cause before replacement is recommended.
Do you service solar batteries and battery systems?
Yes. Sundial troubleshoots many battery-related and system-integration issues. Available service depends on the equipment and individual installation.
Do you repair solar pool heaters?
Yes. We service many solar pool-heating systems, including collector, connection, plumbing, controller, sensor, and heating-performance problems.
Do you repair solar water heaters?
Yes. We troubleshoot many solar water-heating systems, including collectors, tanks, pumps, circulation equipment, sensors, controls, valves, and plumbing where applicable.
Can you perform manufacturer warranty work?
Sundial performs warranty service and warranty-related repairs on qualifying equipment. Eligibility and coverage depend on the manufacturer, equipment, warranty terms, and individual system.
Should my solar system be inspected after a major storm?
An inspection is sensible if you notice visible damage, leaks, error messages, reduced production, loose equipment, or changes in system performance after a storm.
What should I do with my solar system before replacing my roof?
Arrange for the solar equipment to be properly removed before reroofing and reinstalled afterward. Contact Sundial early so the solar work can be coordinated with the roofing schedule.
Specialized system support
SunPower System Service & Enphase Conversions
Sundial services existing SunPower systems and evaluates compatible monitoring and equipment transitions, including Enphase options where technically appropriate. Recommendations depend on the system architecture, equipment compatibility, system condition, and customer preference; no single conversion path is appropriate for every SunPower system.
