Observe from the ground
Note where water appears and whether the leak is visible only when circulation is running. Do not climb onto a roof or attempt work on pressurised equipment.
Connections and collectors are different problems
A fitting can sometimes be repaired without replacing the collector. Widespread panel deterioration can make replacing the array a more sensible option. An inspection is needed to decide.
Gather the useful details
Send clear photos taken safely, the approximate system age and the symptoms you have noticed. Include your town or suburb and any known previous repairs.
Ask about the scope of work
For replacement, clarify which collectors and pipework are included and ask for the applicable guarantee terms. GridFree handles old panel replacement and solar heating repairs across the Western Cape.
