Our Level 2 Solar Upgrade Services on the Central Coast

Our team upgrades solar systems for safety, reliability, and efficiency. From replacing panels and inverters to switchboard upgrades and metering changes, we deliver DNSP-approved solutions across residential and commercial properties.

Solar Panel Replacements

Damaged or outdated panels reduce safety and efficiency. We replace failed panels, upgrade cabling, and check isolators. Level 2 electricians handle isolation, testing, and re-energisation, restoring reliable generation while ensuring compliance with DNSP and Australian Standards.

Inverter Upgrade Solutions

Older inverters often fail or lack compliance. We supply and install modern models, configure export limits, and update monitoring. Level 2 specialists manage metering, protection, and documentation, ensuring seamless approvals and improved system performance.

Switchboard and Safety Upgrades

Solar upgrades often require switchboard changes. We install new isolators, RCDs, surge protection, and main switches. Our Level 2 electricians ensure wiring, labeling, and testing meet AS/NZS 3000 and 4777, keeping your system compliant and safe.

Metering and Export Upgrades

DNSPs require compliant metering and export limiting. We coordinate retailer requests, install isolation, and upgrade metering to meet standards. Our Level 2 team ensures safe reconnection and smoother approvals for continued exporting.

If it sparks, shorts, flickers or fails...we can fix it!

Why Solar Panel Upgrades Matter

Old or non-compliant solar can be unsafe, inefficient, and costly. Upgrading ensures compliance, lowers bills, and extends system lifespan while protecting your property and securing DNSP approvals:
We replace faulty isolators, damaged panels, and non-compliant inverters. Upgrades are tested to AS/NZS standards, protecting your property and ensuring DNSP approval for safe reconnection.
Modern upgrades improve efficiency and output. We optimise inverters, add monitoring, and update metering to maximise savings on energy bills and increase system performance.
Replacing worn components and adding surge protection extends system life. These upgrades reduce faults and help panels, inverters, and batteries perform reliably for years.
Our Level 2 electricians document and test every upgrade. Submissions to Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy are accurate and complete, ensuring smoother approvals and avoiding costly delays or defect notices.

Solar Panel Smart Upgrade Enhancements

Beyond repairs and replacements, Restore Electrical offers smart enhancements to improve solar efficiency, safety, and monitoring, ensuring your system adapts to modern energy needs.
We add monitoring systems that track generation, consumption, and export. These help detect faults early, optimise usage, and maximise savings while giving you greater control of your energy system.
Upgrading panels is the perfect time to add battery storage. We install hybrid inverters, configure backup loads, and coordinate metering updates, ensuring safe, reliable operation during outages and peak demand.
Protect inverters and appliances from voltage spikes with surge devices. We install Type 2 SPD units and verify earthing, keeping your system safe and compliant with DNSP requirements.
We prepare upgraded solar systems to integrate with EV chargers. By balancing load, managing export, and protecting circuits, we ensure safe and efficient vehicle charging using solar power.
