### Can my Wilkes-Barre roof support a solar array?

Most roofs in Wilkes-Barre are suitable for solar. We evaluate age, orientation, shading, and structural integrity during our free assessment. South-facing roofs produce the best results, but east and west exposures work well too. Our engineers design around any constraints your roof may have.

### Is solar panel repair covered by warranty in Wilkes-Barre?

It depends on the issue. Panel manufacturer defects are typically covered for 25 years, inverter defects for 12-25 years depending on brand, and our workmanship issues are covered by our guarantee. We'll check all applicable warranties before quoting out-of-pocket costs for your Wilkes-Barre repair.

### How do I know if my solar panels need repair in Wilkes-Barre?

Watch for sudden drops in energy production, error codes on your inverter, or visible damage after severe weather. Our monitoring diagnostics can detect issues remotely. If you notice anything unusual with your Wilkes-Barre system, we offer same-week diagnostic appointments.

### What are the most common solar panel problems in Wilkes-Barre?

In Luzerne County, the most frequent issues we see are microinverter failures, degraded wiring connections from thermal cycling, and cracked cells from hail or debris. Pennsylvania's freeze-thaw cycles can also loosen mounting hardware over time. All are straightforward repairs when caught early.
