Solphenix, a photovoltaic operation and maintenance company based in Pérols (Hérault), near Montpellioer, specializes in SolarMax inverters. We are able to source compatible spare parts for these inverters from Germany and repair them — to extend the life of your installation or prepare for its repowering.

DIAGNOSTIC & MAINTENANCE
SolarMax Inverters What to do when the manufacturer no longer exists?
SolarMax was the inverter brand of the Swiss manufacturer Sputnik Engineering, which went bankrupt in 2014. Many French photovoltaic installations from the 2010s still operate today with aging SolarMax inverters, as the original manufacturer's after-sales service has disappeared and spare parts have become rare. For the affected operators, finding a truly competent technician for these inverters is very difficult: few companies are still able to service them. Solphenix is one of these companies.

FAQ EXPERTISE
Frequently Asked Questions on SolarMax inverters
Does the SolarMax brand still exist?
SolarMax was the brand of the Swiss manufacturer Sputnik Engineering, which went bankrupt in 2014. The brand was taken over, but the original after-sales service disappeared and parts became rare for the many French installations equipped in the 2010s.
My SolarMax inverter is malfunctioning: what should I do?
Don't automatically replace it: repair is often possible. Solphenix diagnoses the cause of the fault and has compatible spare parts, sourced from Germany, to get your inverter back up and running. Contact us, describing the model and the problem you've encountered.
Are spare parts still available for a SolarMax inverter?
Yes. Solphenix is able to source compatible spare parts for SolarMax inverters in Germany — a capability that few companies in France can offer today.
Is it better to repair or replace an aging SolarMax inverter?
This depends on the age of the installation, the condition of the inverter, and your production goals. Repair extends the equipment's lifespan at a lower cost; replacement as part of a repowering project increases production and provides long-term security for your investment. Solphenix will advise you on a case-by-case basis, following a diagnostic assessment.
In which area do you operate SolarMax inverters?
Solphenix operates throughout the Greater South of France. Our headquarter is located in Pérols near Montpellier, in the department Hérault (Occitanie region).
