My solar panel stopped feeding electricity into the grid about two years ago. The inverter is a PowerEdge from LATRONICS. Can anyone recommend a reputable repairer to get it going again?
Thanks!

Probably a better source for recommended repairers than here at Ozbargain.
OK. Thanks. I finally found the receipt of the installer. Now I'll contact them before calling Latronics if needed.
Of course the other option to spending money repairing an old, and therefore likely small, solar installation is to get it replaced completely with a new bigger system. Given the relatively small difference between probably replacing your old inverter, and buying a whole new subsidised bigger system, it may be worth considering the latter. It just depends on how old and how small the old system is.
It's an 11-year old, 12 SolarFun panel system. Will I be eligible for government subsidy with a brand new system?
Yes I think you’re eligible again for solar rebates after 10 years.

I assume you have a Latronics PV Edge 1200 and 2500? These are a oldie, but easily repaired with a few know (but cheap) fixes.
Some quick checks for common faults are here, the main one is the internal DC breaker that fails.

After consulting with my specialist team and life coach, we recommend you should call Latronics. Hopefully you can speak French.
