# Solar Maintenance Check

A one-time, comprehensive check of your solar system. Useful if you've gone several years without service, just bought a home with solar, or want a baseline before signing up for ongoing maintenance.

## What's included

- Visual panel inspection and documentation
- Panel cleaning (light soiling, heavy soiling quoted separately)
- Mounting and racking torque checks
- Electrical connection and conductor inspection
- Inverter and optimizer diagnostics
- Inverter firmware updates as available
- Monitoring portal review and alert configuration
- Ground-fault and arc-fault testing
- Written report with findings and recommendations

## When to schedule one

- 12+ months since the last professional check
- After buying a home with existing solar
- Noticeable production drop with no obvious cause
- Before extending or renewing manufacturer warranties (many require periodic professional inspection)

## How long it takes

A standard maintenance check on a typical residential system takes 1-3 hours on-site. You receive the written report within 1-2 business days.

## What you'll learn

- Current system condition and any active issues
- Production vs. expected
- Estimated remaining inverter life
- Warranty coverage status
- Recommended cadence for future maintenance (annual or semi-annual)
