Solar Repairs

ENSURING YOUR PANELS WORK AS INTENDED

Why Solar Repairs Matter

A solar system is one of the smartest upgrades you can make for your home or business, boosting energy independence, long-term savings, and property value. Like any technology, it performs best with proper care. If you notice a drop in energy production, panel damage, or inverter errors, prompt professional service helps protect your system’s performance and ensures you get the most out of your investment.

Worried that your original installer has gone out of business? Helio GreenTech is here to help. We specialize in supporting homeowners with orphaned systems, providing expert services for repairs, solar inspections, re-roofing, reinstallation, animal guard installations, and warranty support. Whatever your system needs, we’ve got you covered.

Common Solar Issues We Fix

  1. Storm Damage: Hail, high winds, and debris can crack or dislodge panels.

  2. Animal Interference: Squirrels, birds, and other critters can chew wires or nest under panels.

  3. Wiring & Connectivity Issues: Loose or corroded wiring can interrupt energy flow.

  4. Inverter Failures: If your inverter isn't converting power properly, you're losing efficiency.

  5. System Monitoring Errors: Connectivity or app issues? We’ll get your monitoring back online.

  6. Aging Systems: We service systems regardless of who installed them, even if it's not us.

Solar Panel Damage from Animals & Storms

Solar panels not only save you money over time, but they’re also built to withstand harsh weather conditions and require minimal upkeep.

However, storms and animals can cause more damage to solar panels than many owners realize, and the effects aren’t always visible right away. Hail can crack the tempered glass that protects your panels, allowing moisture to seep in and compromise the internal cells. High winds can lift or shift racking systems, loosen bolts, and stress mounting points, especially on older installations. Flying debris, like tree branches or roofing materials, can dent panels or sever wiring. Over time, even a small impact can reduce system output or lead to complete panel failure.

Animals pose a different kind of threat, one that’s often gradual and hard to detect until significant damage has occurred. Squirrels and rodents are notorious for chewing through electrical wiring or creating nests beneath panels, which can disrupt power flow and compromise your system’s safety. Birds commonly nest under arrays as well, dislodging components or obstructing ventilation, which can lead to overheating and long-term performance issues.

We Are Solar Peace of Mind

At Helio GreenTech, we design and build solar systems to withstand the Midwest’s most demanding conditions—hail, rain, snow, and heat, with minimal maintenance requirements. And behind that durability is one of the strongest warranties in the industry: 25 years of coverage on panels, inverters, and labor for every new system we install.

Not all 25-year warranties are created equal. Our warranty covers both parts and labor, and we handle everything in-house; there's no need to chase down multiple companies or navigate complex service chains. While many solar providers only cover hardware, we stand behind the complete installation, service, and diagnostics.

We don’t just make promises, we back them up with trusted credentials:

  1. NABCEP certified (the gold standard in solar professionalism)

  2. A member of MOSEIA and the Clean Energy Business Council

  3. A trusted partner of Van Meter, a 100+ year-old employee-owned distributor

  4. A multi-year Elite Installer on EnergySage

  5. Voted Best Solar Company in Kansas City three years running

Locally owned and operated since 2019, we’re in this for the long haul. And no matter what the future brings, your peace of mind is our priority.

What If Helio or Your Manufacturer Goes Out of Business?

It’s a rare scenario, but you won’t be left in the dark.

Manufacturer warranties remain valid regardless of who installed your system, and claims can be made directly with the manufacturer. At Helio GreenTech, we securely store your system documentation, serial numbers, and installation records, and provide copies to you, ensuring you always have what you need.

Even in the unlikely event that Helio were to close its doors, your warranty-backed service can still be handled by third-party solar contractors using your documentation.

And if your original installer is already out of business? We’ve got you covered. Helio specializes in supporting orphaned systems, helping homeowners with inspections, troubleshooting, warranty claims, and service when no one else answers the call.
