Loss of solar production, a supply-side warning or a damaged electrical connection needs diagnosis that respects the system design and manufacturer responsibilities.
Tell Guardian what changed, when the problem started and which locations or pieces of equipment are affected. We serve homes and businesses in Myrtle Beach , Carolina Forest and communities throughout Horry and Georgetown counties. A useful first message helps us establish the right diagnostic starting point.
We discuss the installed system, available drawings and displayed faults, then define the accessible electrical work and coordination required with the solar installer or equipment vendor.
We agree the diagnostic scope and explain service-call or troubleshooting charges before booking. Access, equipment information and the number of affected locations influence the time needed. An intermittent fault may need more investigation than a consistently failed connection; describe any pattern without trying to reproduce an unsafe condition.
Roof work, proprietary inverter repairs, monitoring accounts and warranties may belong with another provider. Solar equipment can remain energized from more than one source; do not open covers to investigate.
The findings guide the recommendation. If an accessible connection or compatible component can be corrected, the proposed repair identifies that work. If equipment condition, unavailable parts or a larger installation issue points toward replacement, we explain the alternative before you approve an expanded scope. A repair request does not commit you to replacing the entire system.
Photographs are optional. Take them only from a safe, accessible position with electrical covers left in place. For smoke, fire or immediate danger, move to safety and call 911. For urgent electrical assistance, call Guardian at (854) 237-4771 to discuss current availability.
A conventional grid-connected solar installation normally stops supplying the building when the grid fails. That protective behavior helps prevent solar equipment from unintentionally energizing utility lines during an outage. Daylight alone does not make the home’s outlets stay on. Outage operation requires compatible equipment designed to separate the backup supply from the grid and support the intended loads.
If backup is a goal, decide which circuits matter and discuss storage and control compatibility during the design stage. A battery system has limits on output and stored energy, and adding a battery to an existing inverter is not always a simple connection. The proposed design must explicitly include the intended backup function.
A replacement inverter must be compatible with the array and the rest of the system, including any storage, controls and monitoring arrangement. The old inverter’s output rating alone is not a complete replacement specification. Share the model, fault messages, system drawings and original installer’s records so reuse of existing wiring and protection can be assessed.
Equipment changes can also affect the accepted design or utility interconnection documentation. Guardian coordinates the agreed electrical work with the system provider and identifies any required review before operation. Product warranties, software access and manufacturer-specific commissioning should be confirmed with the responsible provider rather than assumed from an electrical replacement quote.

Not automatically. Conventional grid-connected systems normally stop supplying power when the grid fails. Backup operation needs a compatible system designed for that purpose, with appropriate isolation and controls and often battery storage.
Sometimes. Inverter compatibility, available controls, existing equipment, the desired loads and utility requirements need review. The assessment should explain what can be reused and what must change.
Guardian offers free quotes for planned projects. A fault-finding visit or service call can involve a diagnostic charge, explained before booking. Access, equipment requirements and the work identified determine the proposed repair or installation scope.
Share the property address, the problem or project you have in mind, and equipment details when available. Photos of accessible equipment and the work area can help us plan the next step. Do not remove electrical covers or expose wiring to take photographs.
