Solar Panel Repairs, Maintenance, and Upgrades
Solar panel systems typically last for decades with only very minimal maintenance. But in some cases, repairs or ongoing maintenance are called for, or a reroofing job necessitates solar panel removal and reinstallation.
Cromwell Solar has teams dedicated to repairing and maintaining solar panels in Kansas and Missouri. It’s a service we’ve always offered, but demand for solar panel repairs in recent years has allowed us to build teams who work just on repairs. We’re often called in to repair solar installations done by others poorly, or to expand existing solar panel systems. We’ll work on your solar project no matter who installed them.
Solar Panel Maintenance
Solar panels typically need almost no regular maintenance. A solar panel creates energy from the Sun with no moving parts, so there’s nothing to wear out, and the panels themselves are durable and sturdy. In very dry regions panels may need to be cleaned off occasionally, though in Kansas and Missouri our rainfall is enough to clean them.
Cromwell’s dedicated solar repair and maintenance team can handle any job.
Solar Panel Repairs
Solar panels are quite strong, and difficult to damage. Combined with their lack of moving parts, that means solar panels don’t often need to be repaired. Still, repairs are sometimes called for, either because of damage from storms or hail, or to fix a solar panel installation that was done incorrectly. Cromwell Solar has handled numerous solar panel repairs involving cracked panels from storms, inverters that stopped working, as well as installations performed poorly by someone else.
In the case of storm damage, we find that your homeowner’s insurance will almost always cover the cost of the repairs. We have four decades of experience working with insurance claims for solar panels, and we’ll work with you to make sure you get the full coverage you’re entitled to. If the repairs also involve a roofing company or other contractor, Cromwell will coordinate the entire process for the minimum disruption for you. Solar panel systems can be repaired in almost all cases.
Cromwell Solar’s dedicated repair team will diagnose and fix any solar panel issues, no matter who installed your system. We have experience working with most brands of panels and installation types, and our professional teams can handle any job.

Solar Inverter Repairs
In some cases, the solar inverters that turn DC power from the solar panels into AC power for your building can need servicing or replacement. Cromwell Solar can work on every inverter brand, no matter who installed it. We are among very few installers who are actually certified to repair inverter brands including Enphase, SMA, Generac, Panasonic, SolarEdge, NEP, Sol-Ark, APSystems, Fronius, and more. If the inverters are still under the manufacturer’s warranty we can work with the inverter manufacturers to process warranty claims for you.
Solar inverters turn DC power from solar panels into AC power for your home.
Solar Panel Upgrades
Solar panels are designed to last for more than 40 years, so your system should provide you with sustainable power for decades. In some cases, our customers want to expand their solar panel systems, or replace older panels with newer ones. Cromwell Solar can upgrade or expand your solar panels to increase power generation for your home or business.
You can add solar panels to an existing system easily — it’s no different than installing solar panels in the first place. Cromwell’s teams of professional solar installers will evaluate your needs and home or building and put together a proposal for expanding your solar system with additional panels.
Cromwell Solar also handles solar panel removal and reinstallation for our clients. This is often needed when installing a new roof on a home, which entails taking the solar panels off and putting them back on again afterward.
Cromwell Solar can expand or upgrade existing solar panels systems to add capacity.
Commercial Solar Operations and Maintenance (Solar O&M)
Commercial-scale solar systems have a unique set of maintenance and monitoring needs to ensure the investment in clean energy operates at 100% all of the time.
Cromwell Solar has installed hundreds of MW of commercial solar, and we’re well-versed in the operations and needs of such systems. Cromwell’s dedicated repair and maintenance teams are available for ongoing solar O&M contracts for commercial systems large and small.
One important aspect of commercial-scale solar operations is continued monitoring to ensure your system is operating at peak efficiency. Cromwell can install and oversee monitoring of your commercial solar installation, letting us diagnose problems remotely at any time of day. Additionally, Cromwell can perform solar checkups and necessary maintenance as necessary.
