Inspection

Solar panel inspection. Catch problems early.

An inspection catches the failed micro-inverter, the cracked panel, or the bird damage that's been quietly costing you money for two years. We do a full visual, electrical, and production review. If something needs repair, you get a written report. If everything's fine, you get peace of mind.

What do homeowners ask about Inspection?

What does the inspection report include?

A 6 to 12 page PDF with system overview, all measurements, a labeled photo of every panel, a findings list ranked by urgency, and an estimate for any recommended repair. You can hand it directly to a buyer, insurer, or PPA holder.

I have Enphase or SolarEdge — do you read the data?

Yes. We log into the monitoring portal with you (or you grant us viewer access), pull 12-month per-panel data, and flag any panels producing more than 10 percent below their cohort.

Can you find the cause of a tripped breaker?

Usually. Common causes are failed micro-inverter, ground fault from rodent damage, or a loose connector. We trace it back to the source.

Service area

Where do we offer Inspection in San Diego County?

We provide inspection in every city and community in San Diego County. Pick your city for local climate notes and service specifics.

Central Inspection in San Diego Central San Diego has dense urban tree pollen and mild marine influence. San Diego arrays typically need cleaning every 9 months — sooner if you are under heavy bird traffic from a neighboring property or near a park.
North Coastal Inspection in Oceanside North Coastal homes range from 1970s beach stock in Encinitas to new-build HOA communities in Carlsbad — both affected by marine humidity year-round. Oceanside installs lean toward two-stage or variable-speed systems to handle long mild shoulder seasons efficiently.
North Coastal Inspection in Carlsbad North Coastal homes range from 1970s beach stock in Encinitas to new-build HOA communities in Carlsbad — both affected by marine humidity year-round. Carlsbad installs lean toward two-stage or variable-speed systems to handle long mild shoulder seasons efficiently.
North County Inland Inspection in Escondido North County Inland hits triple-digit summer heat with low humidity — opposite of coastal. Escondido homes need properly sized condensers and good attic insulation; undersized systems in this zone get called out for failure every July and August.
East County Inspection in El Cajon East County summers bring desert dust from the I-8 corridor and Anza-Borrego pull-throughs. El Cajon arrays pick up heavy soiling fast — production drops of 20-25% are not unusual without quarterly cleaning. Hard-water spotting from sprinkler overspray is also common here.
South County Inspection in Chula Vista South County panels deal with coastal salt to the west and Otay Mesa industrial dust to the east. Chula Vista homes typically need cleaning every 6-8 months — the layered film does not rinse off in rain and requires a full deionized soft wash.

Real feedback

Homeowners who hired us for this

We hadn't cleaned our panels in two years. They came out the same week, did the soft-wash deionized rinse, and showed me the production jump in our Enphase app the next day. About 11% more daily kWh. Clear price up front, no upsell.

Melissa R. Solar Panel Cleaning · Carlsbad

Got three quotes for a recurring maintenance plan. Solar Pros was the only one that actually explained the soiling math under NEM 3.0 and showed me data, not a sales pitch. Their plan price was fair and they pull production reports for me each visit.

David K. Maintenance Plan · El Cajon

Pigeons had nested under our panels for almost a year — droppings everywhere and our production was tanking. They installed the critter-guard mesh and did a deep clean in one visit. Cleaner roof, no more bird noise, production back to normal within a week.
