Monitoring and maintenance that keeps output high

Valley dust, bird nests and a single failed inverter can quietly cost you hundreds of dollars a year. We watch your system and fix issues before they show up on your bill.

Overview

Most homeowners only notice a solar problem when a high utility bill arrives, sometimes months after the fault started. Our monitoring team reviews production daily against weather-adjusted expectations and calls you when something is off.

We also service systems installed by other companies, including those whose original installer has closed. That covers inverter replacements, critter guards, rewiring and full performance audits.

Plans include scheduled cleanings, which matter in the San Joaquin Valley where dust and ash from late-summer fires can reduce output.

  • Daily production and fault monitoring
  • Weather-adjusted performance reporting
  • Scheduled panel cleaning with pure water

Most homes benefit from one cleaning a year, usually in late summer or early fall. Homes near orchards, dairies or dirt roads may need two or three.
