Why Schedule a Solar Inspection?

Solar systems are valuable assets, but even well-installed arrays can develop issues that reduce efficiency or create safety concerns. A professional inspection verifies performance, ensures labeling and safety requirements are met, and gives you confidence whether you’re buying, selling, or maintaining your home.

Common reasons to schedule:

Z

Buying or selling a home with solar

Z

Verifying production or warranty claims

Z

Checking for safety or maintenance concerns

Z

Providing documentation for property managers or agents

Pricing & Bundles

PV system inspection fees vary depending on system size, accessibility, and optional add-ons.

  • Call or text 407-863-0651 for an instant quote
  • Book online 24/7 with real-time availability
  • Bundle and save when adding a solar inspection to a home inspection, roof inspection, or electrical thermal scan

Deliverables You’ll Receive

After the inspection, you’ll get a professional report that makes complex systems easy to understand:

  • Same or next-business-day web report + PDF.
  • Annotated photo archive for each component.
  • Prioritized action plan (safety first, then performance and maintenance).
  • Contractor-ready notes to simplify repair or warranty claims.

What’s Included in a PV Inspection

Each inspection begins with a full photo and data capture of the system, followed by detailed reporting. You’ll receive both a web link and PDF you can share with contractors, warranty providers, or buyers.

We cover:

Z

Array & Roof Review:

Modules, racking, roof penetrations, and overall condition.

Z

Electrical Path Check:

Conductors, junction/combiner boxes, inverters, disconnects, and grounding/bonding.
Z

Thermal Imaging:

Infrared scans to detect hot spots, faulty strings, or performance imbalances.
Z

Labeling & Documentation:

Confirmation of required solar system labels for clarity and safety.
Z

Shading & Obstructions:

Identification of trees, vents, or debris that may reduce efficiency.
Z

Prioritized Recommendations:

Action items organized by safety, performance, and maintenance.

How the Process Works

We’ve designed our solar inspection to be straightforward and thorough:

  1. Pre-Visit Info – We request basic details (inverter type, monitoring access if available, prior service notes).
  2. On-Site Capture – Photos of the array, penetrations, electrical equipment, and labels are collected.
  3. Visual & Thermal Review – We scan for visible defects and hidden anomalies.
  4. Analysis & Reporting – Findings are broken down with annotated photos and plain-English explanations.
  5. Delivery – Your inspection report is available the same or next business day.

This step-by-step process ensures every component is evaluated and nothing is missed.

What We Look For

Solar panels can degrade or fail in ways that aren’t obvious from the ground. Our inspections flag hidden issues early to prevent costly repairs.

Typical findings include:

  • Hot spots, cracked cells, or delamination
  • Loose or overheated wiring connections
  • Corrosion inside junction or combiner boxes
  • Exposed conductors or poor wire routing
  • Missing or incorrect rapid shutdown and disconnect labels
  • Roof risks from improper flashing or missing hardware

Each issue is documented in your report with photos and clear next steps.

FAQs

Have questions about the Solar Panel (PV) inspection process? Our FAQs cover everything you need to know before scheduling your Solar Panel (PV) Inspection service.

Do I need drone imaging?
Not always. Most systems can be fully documented from the roof or ladder. Drone imaging is recommended for steep, fragile, or hard-to-access roofs.
Will you measure production?
We record inverter and monitoring data where available. Advanced electrical tests (IV-curve, insulation resistance) can be coordinated if needed.
Is this a code compliance inspection?
No. We reference widely accepted solar inspection standards, but this is not an official AHJ code compliance review.
What if my system isn’t producing?
We’ll document error states and visible issues. Follow-up diagnostics may be recommended.
