Full Solar and Battery Repair Capabilities
Repairs, maintenance, monitoring, cleaning and roof work under one roofing and electrical license, so you are not coordinating three different companies after a storm.
Solar Panel Repair
Shading analysis, cracked panels and wiring faults. Coastal Care members can also schedule professional panel cleaning at the member rate of $25 per panel.
Inverter Repair and Replacement
We service string and microinverters from Enphase, SolarEdge, Sol-Ark, SunnyBoy, SunPower and Tesla, regardless of who installed the system.
Battery Storage Service
Health checks, capacity testing and support for Tesla Powerwall and other battery brands, including degraded performance and backup configuration issues.
System Monitoring and Optimization
We restore app access, fix communication errors between the gateway and your Wi-Fi, and tune the system for full production.
Roof and Structural Work
Leak repairs, racking fixes and detach and reinstall service for a roof replacement. As a licensed roofing contractor (CCC1335978) we handle both trades on one ticket.
Pre and Post Storm Inspections
Documented inspections before and after named storms, with photos for insurance if attachment hardware or roofing takes damage.
Solar Repair, in Depth
What a Solar Repair Call Actually Covers
Most production complaints trace back to one of the issues below. We diagnose down to the root cause before quoting a fix.
Production Drop Diagnosis
We compare your monitoring history against expected output for your array size and location to isolate whether the drop is shading, soiling, a hardware fault, or a single failed string or microinverter.
String and Microinverter Faults
String inverter fault codes, ground faults and DC arc warnings on SolarEdge and Sol-Ark systems, plus dropped or reporting-zero microinverters on Enphase systems, isolated panel by panel.
Enphase and Tesla Inverter Replacement
Warranty and out of warranty replacement of Enphase microinverters and Envoy or IQ Gateway hardware, and Tesla string inverter and Backup Gateway replacement, with re-commissioning and monitoring verification after the swap.
Rapid Shutdown and RSD Device Failures
A failed rapid shutdown transmitter or receiver will shut a string down entirely or trip a fault at the inverter. We test and replace RSD devices to keep the system code compliant and producing.
Roof Leak Repair Around Mounts and Flashings
Leaks almost always originate at a lag bolt, flashing or mounting foot, not the panel itself. We pull the affected panels, correct the penetration and flashing, and reinstall and retest before closing the ticket.
Panel Replacement and Mismatched Module Sourcing
We source replacement panels that match your existing array's electrical characteristics as closely as possible. When your exact model is discontinued, we identify a compatible substitute so voltage and current stay in range for the rest of the string.
Squirrel and Critter Guards
Critter damage to wiring and backsheets under the array is common in tree-adjacent installs. We install mesh guarding around the array perimeter and repair any chewed wiring or conduit we find underneath.
Wiring and Conduit Damage
UV-degraded conduit, chewed or pinched wiring, and corroded connectors on rooftop and attic runs, tested and replaced to code.
Monitoring and Gateway Connectivity
Envoy, IQ Gateway and Tesla Gateway devices that have lost Wi-Fi or cellular connection, stopped reporting production, or need a factory reset and re-pairing to your home network.
Hurricane Damage Inspections and Insurance Documentation
Post-storm inspections of racking, flashing and wiring with dated photos formatted for a homeowner's insurance claim, whether or not we installed the original system.
System Takeover from Installers Who Left Florida
If your installer closed, moved out of state, or stopped answering calls, we take over service on your existing system through the Coastal Orphan Solar and Battery Program below.
Permit and Inspection Cleanup
We pull corrective permits and coordinate re-inspection for systems that were never properly closed out, missed final inspection, or have paperwork that does not match what is actually installed on the roof.
Panel Removal and Reinstall for Reroof
Full detach of the array before a roof replacement and reinstall and retest once the new roof is complete, coordinated directly with your roofing crew or done by our own roofing team.
Battery Repair, in Depth
Battery Diagnostics and Repair by Issue
Battery problems are often caused by firmware, breaker, metering or communication issues rather than a failed battery cell. We trace the fault before recommending a repair.
| Issue | What we check | Typical fix |
|---|---|---|
| Tesla Powerwall 1, 2 and 3 diagnostics | Battery and Gateway fault logs, cell balancing, charge and discharge behavior | Firmware update, component replacement, or full unit swap under warranty |
| Gateway diagnostics | Backup Gateway connectivity, app pairing and grid transfer switching | Reset and re-pair, wiring correction, or Gateway replacement |
| Firmware and commissioning issues | Software version mismatches between the battery and Gateway | Manual firmware push and recommissioning with manufacturer support |
| Backup breaker and load management errors | Backed-up circuit assignments and breaker loads | Reassign circuits or correct load management settings |
| Enphase and other battery brands | State of charge, communication and battery health | Firmware refresh, module replacement, or manufacturer escalation |
| CT clamp and metering faults | Current transformer placement and readings against actual home load | Reseat or replace clamps and recalibrate metering |
Orphan Systems
Solar Repair When the Original Installer Is Gone
If your installer closed, stopped responding, or left Florida, begin with a free virtual consultation. When an onsite assessment is needed, the $750 Solar System Evaluation establishes what is installed, how it is performing and what should happen next.
01
Inspect the System
We review panels, inverters, wiring, batteries, installation details and monitoring.
02
Measure Performance
Production and battery health are assessed against the equipment and available system records.
03
Document the Findings
You receive written findings that identify visible issues and recommended next steps.
04
Approve Any Repair
Parts, corrective work and additional labor are quoted separately. Nothing proceeds without your approval.
Why Systems Underperform
Common Reasons a Florida Solar System Loses Production
Florida pollen, salt air, debris and growing tree shade can reduce production gradually. Inverter faults, failed rapid shutdown equipment, damaged wiring and lost monitoring connections can create steeper drops.
The important first step is separating a reporting problem from an equipment problem. A free virtual consultation can clarify simple alerts, while a Solar System Evaluation provides the onsite testing needed for more complex issues.
Roof and Mount Repair
Leak Repair Around Solar Mounts, Done by a Licensed Roofer
Most solar-related roof leaks come from flashing or penetrations around mounting hardware, not from the panels themselves. Covering a failed detail with sealant does not address the cause.
Because Coastal Energy holds roofing license CCC1335978, we can remove affected panels, correct the roof detail, reinstall the array and test the system without sending you to another contractor.
- Flashing and mounting foot inspection at roof penetrations
- Panel removal, roof correction, reinstall and system test
- Documented before and after photos for your records
