Buying a solar home, checking storm damage, or handed an orphaned system with no records? An inspection tells you the real condition of the panels, racking, wiring and inverter before you find out the hard way.
An inspection is not a routine checkup most owners schedule on their own. It usually comes up because something changed, or because nobody actually knows the condition of the system in the first place.
A general home inspector rarely tests solar production. You can close on a house with a system that looks fine on the roof and is not actually producing what it should.
No installer to call means no idea when it was last checked. You do not need the original company to have your system inspected. Any qualified crew can do it.
High wind and hail can loosen racking or crack a panel without anything obvious from the ground. A system can keep partially working even with real damage sitting on the roof.
Knowing the system's condition before a roofer starts gives you something to compare against once the panels are back on, so any change is clear either way.
An inspection covers the panels and racking for physical condition, the flashings underneath for water intrusion risk, the wiring and connectors for loose or damaged connections, the inverter for current status, and production compared against what the system's own history shows it should be putting out. Everything gets documented, and you get a photo report you can keep, hand to an agent, or drop into an insurance claim file.

Get My Inspection PriceThe most common times are before buying a home with solar already on it, right after a monsoon storm, before a roofer starts work, and any time you inherit a system with no service records, such as an orphaned installation. If you cannot answer basic questions about your own system, that is a reason to inspect it.
A standard home inspection usually does not test the solar system itself. A solar inspection checks the panels, racking, wiring and inverter, and compares current production against what the system should be producing, so you know the real condition before you close instead of after.
Yes. High wind and hail can loosen racking or crack a panel without any sign visible from the ground, and a system can keep partially working even with damage. We document what we find with photos formatted for an insurance claim file.
We tell you exactly what we found and document it with photos, so you have real information about your system's condition instead of a guess. What you do with that information, whether it is a repair, a claim, or a conversation with a buyer or seller, is up to you.
Yes. This comes up constantly with orphaned solar systems where the original installer is out of business. We work across all major panel, racking and inverter brands, so not knowing the installer does not stop us from checking the system.
