Common Solar Problems We Solve
Most solar system issues stem from three primary sources: inverter malfunctions, wiring problems, or reduced sunlight exposure due to shading or dirt. Here are the issues our service technicians encounter most frequently.
⚠️ Inverter Not Working
The inverter converts DC power from your panels into AC electricity for your home. Error codes, flashing lights, or a blank display often indicate inverter problems that require professional diagnosis.
📉 Decreased Power Output
If your electric bills are higher than expected or your monitoring shows reduced production, dirty panels, shading issues, or degraded components may be the cause.
📡 Monitoring System Offline
When your app stops updating or shows missing data, it's often caused by communication failures, router changes, or disconnected monitoring equipment.
🔌 Circuit Breaker Tripping
Regular circuit breaker trips can indicate grounding issues, arc faults, or worn electrical components that require immediate professional attention for safety.
🔥 Hot Spots on Panels
Microcracks, poor solder joints, or mismatched cells can create localized heating that degrades performance and can potentially cause safety hazards if left unchecked.
🐿️ Critter Damage
Squirrels, birds, and rodents can nest under panels and chew through wiring. We repair damage and install critter guards to prevent future problems.
💧 Roof Leaks Near Panels
Improperly sealed roof penetrations or loose mounting hardware can lead to water intrusion. We assess and repair mounting systems to protect your roof.
🔋 Battery Issues
Solar battery storage systems require specialized service. We diagnose charging problems, capacity issues, and communication errors in battery backup systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you service solar systems installed by other companies?
Absolutely. We service solar systems from any installer, including systems from companies that have gone out of business. Many homeowners are stuck with "orphaned" systems when their original installer closes—we're here to help.
How often should I have my solar system serviced?
We recommend a professional inspection at least every 1-2 years to ensure optimal performance and maintain warranty compliance. Panel cleaning frequency depends on your environment—homes in dusty areas or near trees may need cleaning every 6 months.
My solar panels are still under warranty. Should I call you or the manufacturer?
Most manufacturer warranties cover the equipment itself, but labor and troubleshooting often are not covered. We can diagnose whether your issue is a warranty claim, handle the paperwork, and perform the replacement if approved. Start by calling us—we'll guide you through the process.
How much does solar system service cost?
Service costs vary depending on the issue. We charge a diagnostic fee that covers our technician's visit and complete system evaluation. If you proceed with repairs, the diagnostic fee is typically applied to the total repair cost. We always provide a clear quote before beginning any work.
How quickly can you come out for service?
For most service calls, we can schedule an appointment within 24-48 hours. For emergencies—such as complete system failures or safety concerns—we prioritize same-day or next-day response when possible.
Can I clean my solar panels myself?
You can perform basic cleaning with a soft brush and water during morning hours when panels are cool. However, we don't recommend climbing on your roof without proper safety equipment. For thorough cleaning or hard-to-reach systems, professional cleaning is safer and more effective.
