Generators and Inverters in Silverfields
Yes, we repair generators in Silverfields, including sets that back up a solar inverter. We are open 24/7 and arrive within 1 hour for breakdowns; we measure and diagnose on site, then quote the repair in writing.
Silverfields is a residential suburb on the west side of Krugersdorp, close to Mindalore, Wentworth Park and Rangeview. If your home pairs a solar inverter and battery bank with a generator for long outages, that pairing brings faults of its own.
Inverters are fussy about the power they accept. If the generator’s voltage or frequency drifts outside the inverter’s limits, the inverter disconnects and the batteries keep draining while the set runs. We measure voltage and frequency under the charging load, then repair or adjust the AVR and governor so the supply stays steady.
We work on the generator and its connection to the inverter. If the inverter’s settings need changing, we give you the readings we took so your solar installer can set them correctly.

Generator Faults We Fix in Silverfields
In Silverfields homes with solar, the inverter is the strictest judge of generator power. These faults make it reject the supply.
Unstable voltage under charging load
The AVR cannot hold steady as the charger draws power. We test it, then repair or replace it.
Low frequency when charging starts
The engine slows under the charging load. We check the governor and fuel delivery.
Not auto-starting on low battery
The inverter’s start signal does not reach the set. We trace the signal wiring and the controller.
Generator battery flat
The set’s own starting battery, separate from the solar bank, needs a working charger.
Getting a Generator and Inverter to Work Together
When we visit, we run the generator with the inverter charging, measure voltage and frequency at the inverter input, and check the start signal if the inverter calls the set automatically. Then we repair or adjust the generator so its output stays inside the inverter’s limits, and hand you the readings for your solar installer if the inverter needs a settings change.
Generator Not Starting in Silverfields?
Tell us whether the set fails to start on its own button or only when the inverter calls it. Call or WhatsApp 082 057 4605.
The generator as Silverfields’ second line of defence
In many Silverfields homes the generator is the second line of defence: the inverter and batteries carry the house first, and the set only starts when a long outage or a run of cloudy days has drained the bank. Because it is called on so seldom, a fault can sit unnoticed for months, and the first sign is a dark house after the batteries give out. On a Silverfields repair we check both halves of that hand-over: the generator’s own starting battery and charger, and the signal or switch that tells it the solar bank needs help.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my inverter keep rejecting the generator?
The generator’s voltage or frequency is drifting outside the limits the inverter accepts, often when the charging load comes on. We measure at the inverter input and repair or adjust the AVR, governor or fuel supply so the output stays steady.
Can my generator start automatically when my Silverfields solar batteries run low?
Yes, if the inverter has a generator start output and the set has an automatic controller. We check the wiring and controller and test the start.
Do you change inverter settings?
We work on the generator. If the inverter needs a settings change, we give you the readings we took so your solar installer can set it correctly.
What does an AVR replacement cost?
Our cost guide puts AVR replacement at R2,200 – R9,000, depending on the alternator. We test the AVR first, because unstable voltage can also come from the engine or the load.
How soon can you come if the set fails during a long outage?
We are open 24/7 and arrive within 1 hour for a breakdown.
