Solar panel repair in Irving typically runs $180-$650 for most common fixes, and Gus’s Solar can usually have a technician at your door within 24-48 hours. We’ve worked on systems across every Irving ZIP code, from the 1950s ranch homes off Story Road in 75060 to the stucco-and-hip-roof houses in Las Colinas. When your inverter quits or hail cracks a panel, you want someone who knows Irving’s building codes, HOA rules, and weather patterns without having to look them up. Call (877) 550-6892 and you’ll get Gus or a member of his crew on the line, not a call center.
Why Gus’s Solar Is Irving’s Preferred Solar Panel Repair Company
Gus Petrakis founded this company in 2011 and put his own name on the truck. That’s not marketing copy. When we quote you a number for a microinverter replacement in Irving, Gus stands behind it, and he answers his own phone when something isn’t right. Homeowners in Irving have told us the same story a dozen different ways: a national installer sold them a system, then disappeared when the first hail storm rolled through and production tanked. We take over orphaned systems in Irving regularly. The paperwork, the warranty tracking, the inverter diagnostics, the whole mess. Gus’s crew does the work directly. No subs.
Our 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every repair we make in Irving. If it’s not right, Gus comes back and makes it right. In writing, on every job. We also answer calls 24/7 with a live person. Not a voicemail box. Not a ticketing portal. When your system goes down at 9pm on a Tuesday in 75061, someone picks up.
Our Solar Panel Repair Services in Irving
Inverter Repair & Replacement
Inverters fail more often than panels, and in Irving’s summer heat they fail faster. A string inverter mounted on a west-facing wall in 75062 can hit 140°F surface temperature in August, which degrades capacitors and cooling fans years before their rated lifespan. We replace failed inverters with current models sized to your exact array, including Enphase and SolarEdge systems. Typical inverter replacement in Irving runs $1,200-$2,800 depending on model and whether we’re also updating the rapid shutdown compliance wiring.
Microinverter Replacement
Microinverters live under each panel and handle the DC-to-AC conversion at the module level. When one fails, you lose production from that single panel but the rest of the array keeps working, which is why the failure often goes unnoticed until a monthly production report shows a dip. In Irving’s hail corridor, we frequently find microinverter damage paired with panel microcracks from the same impact. Microinverter replacement in Irving typically runs $350-$650 per unit, including labor and rooftop access.
Wiring & Connector Repair
Squirrels, heat cycling, and water intrusion are the three main culprits behind wiring failures in Irving. We’ve pulled melted MC4 connectors off roofs in 75060 where attic temperatures cooked the plastic housings on dark composition shingles. Wiring and connector repair typically runs $150-$450 in Irving, and we always check the full circuit path while we’re up there. A loose connector is a fire risk, not just a production issue.
Panel Replacement After Damage
Hail is the big one in Irving. Golf-ball-sized hail hits the metro multiple times per year, and a direct strike on tempered glass means replacement, not repair. We stock Qcells, REC, SunPower, and Panasonic panels for Irving customers and can usually match your existing module’s electrical specs within a week. Panel replacement after hail damage in Irving runs $425-$900 per panel, including removal of the damaged module, mounting hardware inspection, and re-flashing of the roof penetration. If your original installer is gone, we’ll also file the updated interconnection paperwork with Oncor that your system needs to stay compliant.

Trusted Brands We Service in Irving
We work on systems built with Qcells, REC, SunPower, and Panasonic panels, plus Enphase and SolarEdge inverters and microinverters. If your Irving system uses something else, we’ll still take a look.

Common Solar Panel Repair Problems We See in Irving Homes
- Hail damage that goes unnoticed for months. Smaller storms don’t shatter glass, they create microcracks that slowly degrade output. Homeowners in Irving’s hail corridor often don’t climb up to inspect after every storm, and the first sign is a 15-20% production drop on the next monthly report. We find microcracks on adjacent panels that looked fine from the ground.
- HOA-constrained arrays underperforming from day one. In the Las Colinas communities of 75038 and 75039, architectural review boards frequently required rear-only or east-facing panel placement to keep arrays off street-facing roof planes. That forced azimuth can cut annual production 20-30%. When production is already low, a single failed microinverter or cracked panel makes things worse fast.
- Failed inverters on 100-amp service panels. East Irving’s 1950s-1970s homes in 75060-75062 often still carry 100-amp electrical service. Inverters tied to undersized panels with heat-degraded breakers fail more often than those on upgraded 200-amp services. We’ll flag the underlying panel issue during any repair, not just swap the inverter and leave.
- Roof leaks around mounts that predate the repair call. Flashing fails slowly in North Texas temperature swings. By the time water shows up on a ceiling in 75061, the penetration has been compromised for months. We re-torque, re-flash, and seal every mount point we touch during a repair, even if the leak wasn’t the reason you called.

FAQs - Solar Panel Repair in Irving
Yes, in most Las Colinas communities in the 75038 and 75039 ZIP codes, you need architectural review committee approval before any roof-mounted solar work, including replacing a damaged panel or inverter. Many governing documents classify panel replacement as a “modification,” not “maintenance,” and may require updated wind-load calculations and photorealistic renderings before issuing approval. This can stretch a simple panel swap into a two-to-six-week process. We’ve pulled repair permits in Irving’s HOA communities for years and will prepare the documentation your committee needs. Call (877) 550-6892 and we’ll tell you what your specific HOA requires before you file anything.
In many cases, the production shortfall was baked in from installation day. If your array sits on a rear-only or east-facing roof plane in the Las Colinas corridor or another HOA-governed Irving community, you lost 20-30% of annual output compared to a south-facing array before the first panel was ever bolted down. A repair won’t fix that. Our job during any Irving service call is to tell you whether your array is underperforming because of equipment failure or design constraints. Sometimes it’s both. If your production is low and a repair didn’t move the needle, call (877) 550-6892 and ask us to run an actual-vs-expected production audit. We quote the year-25 output, not the day-one brochure number.
Rapid shutdown is a National Electrical Code requirement that solar arrays de-energize to safe voltage levels within seconds when the system is shut off, protecting firefighters and utility workers in an emergency. The City of Irving enforces NEC rapid shutdown compliance on permitted solar work, including repairs that involve moving panels or replacing inverters. If your original installer never filed updated rapid shutdown documentation with the city, your system may be out of compliance and Oncor can flag it during interconnection review. We verify rapid shutdown compliance on every repair we make in Irving and file the paperwork that keeps your system legal.
Usually not. Panel warranties cover the panel, not the roof penetration. The mounting hardware and flashing are covered, if at all, by the installer’s workmanship warranty, which is worthless if that installer no longer exists. We see this constantly in Irving, where homeowners bought systems from out-of-state companies that have since folded or pulled out of Texas. Gus’s Solar offers Roof Leak Repair Around Mounts as a standalone service for Irving homeowners regardless of who installed the original system. Typical cost runs $400-$1,200. If your ceiling is showing water stains in 75061, call (877) 550-6892 before the next storm hits.
Irving sits in Oncor’s delivery territory, and most Irving homeowners buy energy through retail electric providers that offer solar buyback plans rather than true 1-to-1 net metering. That means the value of every kilowatt-hour your system produces is tied to whatever buyback rate your REP currently offers, which changes over time. If your array is producing 30% below its expected output because of failed microinverters or cracked panels, you’re leaving real money on the table every month, but the exact amount depends on your REP’s buyback rate. Bring us a bill. Gus will show you the actual math on what your system should be producing versus what it is, and whether a repair pays for itself in your specific situation. Estimates are free, and there’s no trip charge anywhere in Irving.
