Solar Panel and Inverter Replacement Services
As your Solar PV system ages, replacing key components like panels and inverters may become necessary to ensure continued performance and efficiency. At Watt Energy Saver, we specialise in replacing ageing solar panels and inverters, with access to a global supply chain to match older systems and meet modern electrical requirements.
Challenges of Solar Panel Replacement
Replacing individual solar panels can be challenging, especially when trying to match older models that may no longer be in production. However, the performance of your entire array depends on maintaining consistency across your system. Mismatched panels can lead to inefficiencies, reduced output, or even system failure.
Inverter Replacement: Keeping Your System Efficient
The inverter is a crucial component of any Solar PV system, converting the DC electricity generated by the panels into usable AC electricity. Over time, inverters can wear out or fail, and upgrading to a new model can improve efficiency and prolong the life of your system. However, it's important to ensure the new inverter is compatible with the existing electrical characteristics of your array.

- Panel Availability: Older panels may be discontinued or unavailable locally, but at Watt Energy Saver, we have access to a global network of suppliers. This means we can source hard-to-find panels or provide suitable alternatives that integrate seamlessly with your existing array.
- System Compatibility: When replacing a panel, we ensure it matches the electrical characteristics of your current system, such as voltage, current, and power ratings, to avoid performance issues or warranty violations.
- Aesthetic Considerations: Along with electrical matching, we also consider the aesthetic appearance of your array, ensuring the replacement panel blends visually with your current installation.
Inverter Replacement: Keeping Your System Efficient
The inverter is a crucial component of any Solar PV system, converting the DC electricity generated by the panels into usable AC electricity. Over time, inverters can wear out or fail, and upgrading to a new model can improve efficiency and prolong the life of your system. However, it's important to ensure the new inverter is compatible with the existing electrical characteristics of your array.
- Electrical Matching: When replacing an inverter, we ensure that the new unit matches the voltage, current, and power output of your array. This is essential to maintaining efficiency and ensuring safe operation.
- G99 Compliance: Any inverter replacement must also comply with G99 regulations set by the Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) for grid-connected systems. We handle the complexities of G99 applications, ensuring your system meets all regulatory requirements and remains compliant with UK grid standards.
- Efficiency & Monitoring: Modern inverters often come with enhanced monitoring capabilities, allowing you to track system performance in real time. We can upgrade your system to include these features, providing greater insight into your energy generation.
- Global Supply Chain: Our extensive network allows us to source panels and inverters from around the world, ensuring that you receive the best possible match for your existing system.
- Matching Over a Decade of Experience: With over a decade of experience in the solar industry, we understand the nuances of replacing ageing components while maintaining system performance and compliance.
- Regulatory Knowledge: We handle all G99 application requirements and ensure your new inverter is fully compliant with the latest UK regulations.
- Custom Solutions: Every system is unique, and we take a tailored approach to ensure that your replacement components integrate seamlessly into your existing setup, maximising efficiency and extending the life of your system.
- Degraded Performance: If your system's performance has noticeably declined, it may be due to ageing panels or a failing inverter.
- Inverter Lifespan: Inverters typically last around 10-15 years. If your inverter is approaching the end of its life, replacing it can restore lost efficiency and improve system reliability.
- Regulatory Changes: Compliance with grid regulations, like G99, is essential for grid-connected systems. If your system no longer meets these standards, a replacement inverter may be necessary
