SOLR Error in QA environment - Sitecore

So I have a couple of search helper methods in C# which uses SOLR as the search engine. These methods return list of pages / suggestions from Sitecore. Everything works great in the local environment . But when the same is deployed to QA, This error appears in all pages where the search helpers are used.

enter image description here

Here is the sample search method which returns a list of pages 

var practicePages = SearchHelper.GetItems(GlobalHelper.GetContextIndex(), Sitecore.Context.Language.ToString(),
                    IPractice_DetailConstants.TemplateIdString, ItemTree.Content.CGSH.Home.Practice_Landing.ItemID.ToString(), search)
                    .Where(x => x != null)
                    .ToList();

I am not sure how it is working in my local environment and not working in QA. Does this have anything to do with the SOLR setup ? I have also tried rebuilding indexes which did not solve this problem.

I believe this is a configuration issue namely your Solr Index Configrations files within the App_Config/Includes folder. Perhaps Sitecore.ContentSearch.Solr.DefaultIndexConfiguration.config or similiar.

It likely works on your local environment because your local versions of the files contain configurations for how the index should deal with an ArrayList. Usually you see these sorts of errors when a TypeConverter is missing from the config. E.g. For the index to correctly convert DateTime this line is added to the DefaultIndexConfiguration.config file

<converter handlesType="System.DateTime" typeConverter="Sitecore.ContentSearch.SolrProvider.Converters.IndexFieldDateTimeValueConverter, Sitecore.ContentSearch.SolrProvider" />

To resolve deploy the solr config files from your local instance to the QA environment or find the TypeConverter in your local config and copy it to QA.
