Solar panel wiring

I have a 15 year old 9.8kw system with 2 arrays and 2 inverters. 1 array is on racks tilted towards the South. For the last few years I’ve been picking up the plastic ties around my house. The ties are brittle and falling off and need replacing and wiring needs to be checked. Does anyone know of a solar contractor in Bergen County NJ .

    Just look up "electrician" in your area (I would say "In the Yellow Pages" but that doesn't work anymore) and read their info. Someone does solar in your area, I'm sure.

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

    I’ve called a few of the solar companies including the one which sold me this system 14 years ago. They don’t return my calls. It seems all they are interested in is selling new systems. I would much rather deal with a small owner if they even exist. Even Angi didn’t call me back.

    i would think any electrician could check the wires and replace ties? I find the local small contractors on the newspaper online marketplace, FB marketplace, etc

    I am waiting for response from a company that does “maintenance on solar panels.” I’m also getting some intermittent noises from 1 of my 2 inverters. Eventually I’ll get a response.
