Solar Panel Inspection
Are They Actually Working?

Absolutely. A standard home inspection covers the basics of the solar system but does not provide the depth of analysis needed to assess panel condition, system performance, or the terms of any lease or loan attached to the system. A dedicated solar inspection is essential before closing on a solar-equipped home.

Leased solar systems are particularly important to inspect. You'll be taking over the lease payments, so you need to know exactly what condition the system is in and whether it's performing at the levels promised in the lease agreement. We review the lease documentation as part of our inspection.

Most residential solar inspections take 1–2 hours depending on system size and accessibility. We'll provide a time estimate when you schedule.

Yes. This is what sets us apart from most inspection companies. We use proprietary software to analyze actual production data and compare it against what the system should be producing based on its rated capacity, your location, and current conditions. We can tell you whether those panels are doing their job and by how much they may be falling short.

The most common issues are micro-cracks in panels (often invisible to the naked eye), inverter errors or failures, improperly sealed roof penetrations causing water intrusion, and corroded or loose electrical connections. Any of these can significantly reduce system output or create safety hazards.
