Diagnostics, panel detach & reset for roof work, micro-inverter and optimizer swaps, and battery retrofits across Northampton County — Bethlehem, Easton, Nazareth, and the Slate Belt. We service any brand, including orphaned systems whose installer disappeared, and we make the drive east on a planned schedule from our Lancaster County base.
When a solar array in Bethlehem or Easton stops producing, the first question is usually "who do I even call?" Plenty of Lehigh Valley installers have merged, moved, or shut down since the panels went up, and the ones still selling new systems rarely want to troubleshoot someone else's work. Solar Medics is the opposite kind of company — repair comes first. Diagnostics, component swaps, panel removal and reinstallation for roof projects, battery retrofits: fixing existing systems is the whole practice, not a side service.
Orphaned systems are the cases we see most. If your installer's number is disconnected, your monitoring app went dark months ago, or a warranty claim has nowhere to go, the array is not a lost cause — it just needs a company willing to adopt it. We work on any brand: Enphase and SolarEdge electronics, APsystems micro-inverters, string inverters, and panel models whose manufacturers have long since left the market.
One thing we will always be straight about: we are based in Mountville, in Lancaster County, and Northampton County is the far eastern end of our territory — roughly an hour and a half to two hours away depending on where in the county you are, with Bethlehem the near edge and the Slate Belt the far one, and more when Route 22 or the 222 corridor backs up. We are not around the corner, so we batch our eastern appointments into scheduled runs rather than promising same-day arrivals. Most repair questions start with a phone conversation anyway, and that first Solar Triage Call costs nothing.
Northampton County splits between two utilities: Met-Ed (FirstEnergy) covers Easton, Wilson, and most of the Slate Belt, while PPL Electric serves Bethlehem, Hellertown, Freemansburg, and Lehigh-side towns like Northampton and Walnutport — several townships contain both. We handle the paperwork either way: interconnection and Permission to Operate after equipment changes, net-metering restoration when production comes back, and Pennsylvania SREC registration so a repaired system earns credits again.
Northampton County runs from the old Bethlehem Steel waterfront on the Lehigh to the Delaware River towns across from New Jersey, and its rooftops are just as varied. Easton, Wilson, and the College Hill blocks near Lafayette mix rowhomes with tight rooflines; Palmer, Forks, and Bethlehem Township carry the big suburban arrays; and the boroughs of Bangor, Pen Argyl, and Wind Gap literally roofed America once, which means plenty of aging roofs coming due for replacement underneath someone's panels. That mix shapes our work here: pulling arrays off and putting them back for reroofs, storm inspections after Lehigh Valley thunderstorms, and electronics swaps on systems of every vintage.
Inverter faults, error codes, dead panels and wiring issues — diagnosed and fixed at homes across Northampton County.

We make solar repair house calls throughout Northampton County — Bethlehem, Easton, Wilson, Palmer Township, Forks Township, Bethlehem Township, Freemansburg, and Hellertown across the county's busy southern half. Farther out we serve Nazareth and Bath in the county's central belt, Northampton and Walnutport along the Lehigh, plus Bangor, Pen Argyl, and Wind Gap up in the Slate Belt.

Yes — with honesty about the map. Northampton County is the farthest county we serve, so instead of pretending to be local we group eastern appointments into planned trips, often pairing Bethlehem, Easton, and slate-country stops on the same day. For most problems the diagnosis starts by phone anyway, which means the distance rarely slows down the actual fix.
First, figure out whether it's a reporting problem or a production problem. A dead gateway or dropped Wi-Fi connection can make a healthy array look dead, while a tripped breaker, failed inverter, or blown rapid-shutdown component stops production for real. Note any error lights, then call us — we can often tell which category you're in over the phone and arrive in Nazareth with the right parts.
It depends on your address. Met-Ed territory includes Easton, Wilson, and most of the slate-country boroughs; PPL Electric covers Bethlehem and several Lehigh-side towns such as Hellertown, Freemansburg, and Walnutport — and some townships contain both. Your electric bill settles it instantly. Whichever utility you have, we manage the interconnection and Permission to Operate steps after a repair so net-metering credits resume correctly.
Yes, this is core work for us. Gather whatever you have — contract, panel and inverter model numbers, monitoring login — and we will assess the system, transfer monitoring where possible, and pursue manufacturer warranties directly when hardware like an Enphase micro-inverter or SolarEdge optimizer fails. Plenty of Northampton County arrays outlived the companies that installed them; the equipment deserves a caretaker.
That's our detach and reset service. We remove the array, label and store the racking and wiring, coordinate timing with your roofer, then reinstall and recommission once the new roof is on — including utility paperwork if anything changed. Bangor and its neighboring boroughs often pair a reroof with an electronics refresh while the panels are already off; we can assess both in one visit.
Usually, yes. We retrofit Tesla Powerwall, Enphase, and SolarEdge batteries onto existing arrays, and we install home batteries for houses without solar at all. In PPL and Met-Ed territory alike, a battery keeps essentials running through thunderstorm and nor'easter outages instead of exporting every spare kilowatt-hour. Compatibility depends on your current inverter setup, which is exactly what the initial phone consult sorts out.
