When a solar inverter fails — or when an aging string inverter reaches end of life — replacement is the path to restoring full system production. CurrentRS replaces failed inverters, upgrades older string inverters, and offers battery-ready inverter options for homeowners planning to add storage. Serving Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland.
CurrentRS replaces failed and aging solar inverters for homeowners in Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland — including SolarEdge, Enphase, and older string inverter brands. If your system has stopped producing and the inverter is the cause, replacement often restores full output at a fraction of a full system replacement cost.
Many Mid-Atlantic solar systems installed in the early-to-mid 2010s are now 10–15 years old — the typical lifespan of a string inverter. Panels degrade slowly and may still be producing well, but the inverter converting that DC power to usable AC may be at or past end of life. An inverter replacement on a system with healthy panels restores full production at a fraction of the cost of a full system replacement.
The replacement approach depends on the original inverter type and your goals for the system going forward.
String inverters (older brands): Many early residential solar systems used string inverters from brands that have discontinued their residential lines or exited the US market. Replacement requires selecting a compatible current-generation string inverter, adapting the existing wiring, and configuring new monitoring.
SolarEdge inverters: SolarEdge is a string inverter with module-level optimizers. SolarEdge inverter replacement preserves the existing optimizer infrastructure. See SolarEdge-specific service →
Enphase microinverters: Enphase replacements are per-unit — failed microinverters are replaced individually without affecting the rest of the system. See Enphase-specific service →
Replacement is usually the right answer when the inverter is older than 10 years or has a hardware fault.
Modern inverter replacement is generally more cost-effective than inverter repair for residential string inverters. Repair parts for older units are often unavailable, and labor for repair approaches the cost of a new unit anyway. For SolarEdge inverters still under warranty, a warranty replacement may be available. CurrentRS assesses your specific situation and provides a transparent recommendation before any work begins.
If you're planning to add battery backup, the inverter replacement is the right time to make that transition.
Adding battery backup to an older solar system typically requires either a battery-compatible inverter or an AC-coupled battery system. If your current inverter is already being replaced, upgrading to a battery-compatible unit at the same time eliminates the need for a second inverter change later. This is one of the most cost-efficient paths to a solar-plus-battery system for homeowners with existing solar.
CurrentRS evaluates your existing system, discusses your backup goals, and recommends the most practical inverter upgrade path. Learn more about battery storage systems →
Replacing an inverter typically requires reconfiguring or migrating the monitoring system.
When a new inverter is installed, the monitoring system must be reconfigured to recognize the new hardware. For SolarEdge replacements, the existing optimizer network is paired to the new inverter in the SolarEdge monitoring portal. For older string inverter replacements, the new inverter's monitoring platform is set up from scratch. CurrentRS handles monitoring configuration as part of every inverter replacement and verifies production data is reporting correctly before project close-out.
Inverter replacement is a one-day job for most residential systems.
CurrentRS isolates the system, removes the failed inverter, installs the replacement unit, reconnects all wiring, configures the new monitoring system, and verifies production across all circuits before completing the job. Most residential inverter replacements are completed in half a day to a full day. Permit coordination is handled where required by the local jurisdiction.
