Dead inverter in Allentown? Installer out of business in Emmaus? Solar Medics diagnoses and repairs solar systems of any brand across Lehigh County — micro-inverter and optimizer replacement, panel detach and reset for reroofs, battery retrofits, and orphaned-system rescue — from our Lancaster County base, with Lehigh Valley visits organized into scheduled runs.
Lehigh County went solar in a big way over the past decade — rooftop arrays on Allentown twins, big systems on new construction in Upper and Lower Macungie, ground mounts on farms up toward New Tripoli. Then a wave of installers folded or left Pennsylvania, and a lot of homeowners across the Lehigh Valley were left with orphaned systems: no warranty contact, no service department, nobody answering the phone when production drops to zero.
Solar Medics exists for exactly that situation. We're a repair-first company — not an installer trying to upsell you a new array — and we work on any brand and any installer's system. Our shop is in Mountville, in Lancaster County, and the Allentown area sits at the eastern end of our territory, roughly an hour and a half away — sometimes more in Route 222 traffic. We batch Lehigh County jobs into planned routes, so you get a firm visit window rather than a vague promise that we're right around the corner.
Everything starts with a free Solar Triage Call — a phone consult where a tech walks through your symptoms, checks your monitoring with you, and tells you honestly whether a repair trip makes sense. From there we handle diagnostics, micro-inverter and optimizer replacement, panel detach and reset for roof projects, battery retrofits, critter guards, monitoring reconnection, and the utility paperwork that keeps net metering intact.
PPL Electric Utilities serves essentially all of Lehigh County — fitting, since PPL is headquartered in downtown Allentown. When we replace an inverter, add a battery, or bring an abandoned system back online, we handle the PPL side too: interconnection updates, restoring or confirming Permission to Operate, and making sure net metering credits keep flowing. We also help Lehigh County owners register eligible systems for Pennsylvania SRECs, a step plenty of original installers never finished.
Lehigh County's housing stock keeps solar repair interesting. In Allentown — Pennsylvania's third-largest city — compact rowhome arrays mean a single failed micro-inverter can erase a noticeable share of production. Whitehall and the Macungie townships, with Upper and Lower Macungie among some of the fastest-growing townships in the state, are full of systems from the last decade's install boom now aging out of their first components. And in the farm country of northern Lehigh County around Slatington, Schnecksville, and New Tripoli, larger roof and ground-mount systems often lose monitoring simply because the gateway sits a long way from the router. Different symptoms, same treatment plan: diagnose first, replace only what failed.
Inverter faults, error codes, dead panels and wiring issues — diagnosed and fixed at homes across Lehigh County.

Solar Medics makes repair visits throughout Lehigh County — from Allentown and Fountain Hill to the riverfront boroughs of Catasauqua and Coplay and neighboring Whitehall just north of the city, then west to fast-growing Breinigsville, Trexlertown, Macungie, and Alburtis. Emmaus, Coopersburg, and Center Valley round out the south, and up north we cover Schnecksville, Slatington, and New Tripoli.

Yes — with a straight answer about what that looks like. Lehigh County is the eastern edge of our service map, so instead of pretending we're around the corner, we group Lehigh Valley work into dedicated route days. You get a real scheduled window, and we make each trip count by lining up diagnosis, parts, and paperwork ahead of time. Often the phone triage answers the big question before a truck ever rolls.
Start with the simple checks: is the inverter or gateway showing a fault light, and did anything change with your Wi-Fi? A surprising number of 'dead' systems are really monitoring dropouts — the panels are producing, the reporting isn't. If the fault is real, zero production usually points to the inverter or a tripped disconnect. Call (717) 864-4125 and we'll triage it over the phone before scheduling a visit.
We do. Swapping an inverter — or reviving a system that's been offline — can require updated interconnection records with PPL Electric Utilities, and in some cases fresh confirmation of Permission to Operate. Solar Medics prepares and submits that paperwork as part of the repair, and we verify your net metering credits are posting correctly afterward. If your system was never SREC-registered, we can take care of that at the same time.
That's the situation Solar Medics was built around. We service every major platform — Enphase, SolarEdge, APsystems, and the rest — no matter who installed it, whether it sits on a rowhome roof in Allentown or a farmhouse outside New Tripoli. We diagnose what actually failed, source parts, pursue manufacturer warranty coverage where it still exists, and become your ongoing service contact so the system is never orphaned again.
Yes — panel detach and reset is one of our core services. We coordinate with your roofing contractor: panels, rails, and wiring come off before tear-off, get stored safely, and go back up with fresh flashing once the new roof is on, followed by a full system test and monitoring check. It's a far better path than asking a roofing crew to improvise around live solar equipment.
Usually, yes. We retrofit Tesla Powerwall, Enphase, and SolarEdge batteries onto existing arrays — even systems we didn't install — and we also install home batteries without solar for owners who just want backup through PPL outages. The right fit depends on your inverter brand, panel layout, and what you want backed up; that's exactly what the triage call sorts out before anyone quotes hardware.
