As the government backs out of its subsidies commitments allowing the renewable energy alternatives to compete on the open market you're going to see more and more of this.
Unless you are an electrician or an electrical engineer there isn't much you can do about a malfunctioning solar panel system. You can call a third party but you're going to pay out of your ass for them to come in and fix what might not be working.
Inverters are the usual suspect. They tend to overheat and blow especially in the hot weather. An inverter for an average size home system can run anywhere from $7,000 to $15,000 depending on the quality and duty load of the machine. If your supplier is gone bankrupt good luck trying to get a replacement without having to pay all of it out of your pocket with installation fees to boot.
