Can BC Solar Service Off-Grid Solar Systems We Didn’t Install?

Yes, we can — and we do.

If you have an off-grid solar setup in or around Columbus, Ohio that wasn’t installed by BC Solar, we’re still happy to help. Whether you’ve just moved into a property with solar already in place, or you're running into issues with an older system, we’ll step in, review your setup, and give you straight answers.

Here’s how we approach it:

What to Expect from BC Solar’s Off-Grid System Service

1. Full System Review
We start with a full review of your off-grid solar components — panels, batteries, inverter, wiring, and any backup systems. We check for:

• Installation quality

• Signs of wear or poor maintenance

• Safety risks

• Compatibility issues between components

2. Honest Feedback
We’ll tell you exactly what we find — no scare tactics, no upsell. If your system’s working well, we’ll let you know. If it needs repairs or upgrades, we’ll explain your options clearly and cost-effectively.

3. Expert Repairs and Upgrades
When fixes are needed, we do it right. Our team works with a wide range of battery types and inverters — including systems designed for remote and backup-only use. If you want to expand or modernize your setup, we’ll guide you through that too.

Why Customers Trust BC Solar with Their Off-Grid Systems

• We don’t push replacements just to make a sale.

• We’ll work with what you have — as long as it’s safe and serviceable.

• We know off-grid systems aren’t one-size-fits-all. Every system we touch gets our full attention.

• We prioritize your energy independence and long-term performance.

“Even if we didn’t build it, we’ll treat it like we did.”

Real-World Example: Off-Grid Tune-Up

One of our recent customers in rural Licking County had a third-party installed system that had stopped charging reliably. They were ready to give up and start over — until we came out.

After inspecting the system, we found a simple misconfiguration in the battery charge controller and a failing DC disconnect. We replaced the part, reprogrammed the controller, and the system was back to 100%. No panel replacements. No overblown “fixes.” Just straight-up service.

FAQ: Off-Grid Solar System Service

Can BC Solar work on any off-grid system?
In most cases, yes. We work with a wide range of components and can usually source parts for older systems. If something’s proprietary or discontinued, we’ll let you know what options are available.

Do you offer emergency repairs?
We offer priority service for off-grid customers who are completely without power. Call us at (614) 442-9700.

What if my batteries are totally dead?
If your battery bank is beyond recovery, we’ll walk you through replacement options — including brands we don’t sell — to help you get back online.

Can you help me modernize my off-grid system?
Yes. Whether it’s adding smart monitoring, integrating solar generators, or switching to a hybrid grid-tied system with backup, we’ll build around your needs.

You Don’t Have to Go It Alone
