Solar Inverter Replacement and Full Electrical Repair in Westport MA

This one started with a homeowner who noticed their system had gone completely silent - no production, no monitoring data, nothing. The culprit turned out to be squirrel damage. Rodents had chewed through critical DC wiring beneath the array, which caused electrical faults that eventually took out the inverter entirely. It's more common than most people think, and it's exactly the kind of damage that sits hidden until the whole system stops working.

We got in, assessed the full scope of the damage, and repaired every section of compromised wiring under the array. From there, we protected all the cable runs to prevent the same thing from happening again. Squirrels don't stop being a problem just because you fix the wiring once - proper protection matters just as much as the repair itself.

The homeowner made a smart call and used this as an opportunity to upgrade to a new modern inverter. The new unit comes with updated monitoring capabilities and a full manufacturer warranty. That's a meaningful upgrade - real-time production visibility and peace of mind knowing the core component of the system is covered.

Once everything was buttoned up, the system came back to full production. That's the goal every time - get it back online, get it protected, and make sure it stays running. If your system hasn't had an inspection recently, this is a good reminder that problems like this don't announce themselves until it's too late.
