Photovoltaic Module Repair
Produce electricity again quickly through a PV module repair.
Solar panel repairs at a glance
Why are PV module repairs necessary?
- Broken modules can easily and cost-effectively be restored through a repair.
- When you opt for a repair, you won't change the structure or optics of your PV system. Everything will still be in original form.
- Repairing the panels can be the most affordable way to restore a PV system. Especially when there are no replacement modules available.
What advantages are there to a SecondSol panel repair?
- When you repair your solar panels, the measurements like length, width and frame height stay the same.
- Technical specifications like power and voltage don't change during a repair.
- The optics of a PV system are important. After a repair, the optics of your system stay the same.
Manufacturer-independent photovoltaic module repairs
Solar panels are all constructed in a similar way. This is a big advantage, as it makes repairs relatively easy. Without much trouble, broken bypass diodes, charred junction boxes, bent or cracked module frames or scratched backsheets from all types of solar panels and manufacturers can be repaired.
Repairs possible after:
- Storm damages
- Lightning and overvoltage
- Snow pressure
- Frost damage
- Damages from animals
- Material damage
Repairs possible for:
- Broken bypass diodes
- Junction boxes
- Module frames
- Backsheets
- Module cables
- Solar connectors
Module replication necessary:

Frequently asked questions about solar panel repairs
Operators, installers and insurers request module repairs for different reasons. Damages are usually caused by the weather, by conditions like hail, storm, lightning or overvoltage.
The type of damage is decisive, as not all kinds of damage can be repaired.
- Broken diodes
- Junction boxes
- Module frames
- Backsheets
- Module cables
- Solar connectors
- Broken glass
- Broken solar cells / microcracks
- Damaged films / Delamination
- Other damages like hotspots
Modern cristalline solar panels are all relatively similar. Because of this, most solar panels can be repaired without a problem.
This depends on the amount of modules and the kind of damage. On average it takes between 1 and 2 weeks.
• Incoming goods inspection incl. creation of an ID number • Module unpacking • Visual check of visible damage (broken glass, cables or junction boxes) • Module cleaning • Module repair • Isolation test (wet leakage current test) after repair • Performance test (flash test) incl. documentation of collected data • Rapport incl. categorisation of modules • Module packing incl. outgoing goods inspection
The costs depend on the number of modules that need a repair and the kind of damage.
