The Replacement Visit
- Compatibility with your panels is confirmed.

- Output is checked and the monitoring app set up.
- Certificates are issued and the warranty registered.
Upgrade While You Replace
If a battery is on your wish list, a hybrid inverter now could save you money later. Hybrid inverters handle both solar and storage, so a battery can be added without another inverter. It costs more than a like-for-like string inverter, but less than fitting two separate units.
How Much Is a New Solar Inverter in Brackley?
Most inverter replacements in Brackley cost between £800 and £2,200. Straight swaps with a similar string inverter are the cheapest, and a hybrid model with new isolators and monitoring sits at the top. VAT treatment can vary, so compare quotes on the same basis.
Details to Have Ready

- The number and wattage of your panels
- Details of any export or Feed-in Tariff payments
- Whether you want to add a battery in future

Frequently Asked Questions
These short answers may help you prepare for an installer conversation.
How do I get inverter replacement quotes in Brackley?
Send one enquiry with your postcode, the inverter make and model, and any error code. We can match it with up to four engineers covering Brackley.
How do I know if my solar inverter has failed?
Typical signs are a red fault light, an error code that will not clear, a blank display or a generation meter that has stopped moving on a bright day.
Do I need to replace my panels when I replace the inverter?
No. Panels usually last much longer than inverters. The new inverter is chosen to match your existing panels, so they can stay in place.
Will a new inverter work with a battery?
A hybrid inverter can work with a battery straight away or later. A standard string inverter can still be paired with an AC-coupled battery in future.
