Repairs & Diagnostics

Before replacing it, let us diagnose it.

Diagnostics, troubleshooting and repair assessment for solar inverters, batteries, pumps, motors and complete solar systems across Kenya.

Diagnose First

We identify the problem before recommending new equipment.

Repair Where Practical

Repair is considered where it remains safe, reliable and economically reasonable.

Replace When Justified

Replacement is recommended where it provides better long-term technical or financial value.

What We Diagnose

Solar and water equipment repair services.

Start with the fault, not an assumption that the whole system must be replaced.

Solar & Hybrid Inverters

Common Problems

  • ●Inverter not switching on
  • ●Battery not charging
  • ●Repeated fault codes
  • ●Unexpected shutdowns
  • ●No AC output

How It Works

From fault report to working equipment.

01

Send the Fault

Tell us the equipment type, brand, model, location and what problem you are experiencing.

02

Initial Diagnosis

Photos, videos, error codes and operating information help us determine the likely fault before unnecessary travel or replacement.

03

Technical Assessment

Where necessary, the equipment or complete system is inspected and tested to confirm the failure.

04

Repair or Recommendation

We repair where technically and economically practical, or recommend replacement where it is the better option.

05

Test & Recommission

The repaired or replacement equipment is tested and the system is recommissioned before completion.

Support Across Kenya

Start the diagnosis from wherever you are.

Remote

Send model details, photos, videos and error codes.

Workshop

Portable equipment can be assessed through arranged workshop service.

Field

Installed pumping and solar systems can be assessed through arranged site support.

Get a Faster Diagnosis

Tell us what happened.

The more information you provide, the easier it is to understand the likely fault before the equipment is inspected.

Send us:

Repair Questions

Before you replace the equipment.

Can a solar inverter be repaired?+

Many inverter faults can be diagnosed and some can be repaired. The decision depends on the failed components, inverter age, parts availability, previous damage and whether the repair remains economically sensible.

Should I repair or replace my inverter?+

Diagnosis should come first. If the repair cost is reasonable and the equipment remains serviceable, repair may make sense. If the unit is extensively damaged, obsolete or unreliable, replacement can provide better long-term value.

Can lithium batteries be repaired?+

Some battery faults may involve the BMS, communication, connections or replaceable components, while other failures involve unsafe or degraded cells. SolarAxis first diagnoses the battery and recommends repair only where technically appropriate.

Why does my borehole pump keep tripping?+

Possible causes include electrical faults, overload, poor voltage, motor problems, cable faults, blocked pumping conditions, controller faults or incorrect system sizing. Testing is required before replacing the pump.

Do you support customers outside Nairobi?+

SolarAxis can begin with remote diagnosis using equipment information, photos, videos and fault codes. Depending on the equipment and location, support may continue through workshop service, courier arrangements or an arranged field visit.
