Already have solar but need someone to maintain your system? We have the Central Valley’s largest solar maintenance division. Our team is ready to tackle the job, no matter your needs or size. Contact us today to see how we can help get you back on track for solar success.
Protect Your Solar Panels From Critters
Birds, squirrels and other rodents living on your roof or around your solar panels increase dirt accumulation and soiling. The installation of critter guard around the edge of your system makes it a less desirable living area for animals of all kinds.
Damage to your solar system caused by animals living on your roof isn’t covered under any standard contractor warranty. Avoid unwanted repair costs with critter guard. Installation is quick and affordable. This product only needs to be installed once and you’re protected.
Not Enough Energy?
If you already have solar but your current system is no longer producing enough energy for your home, a system addition may be the right solution. Adding solar panels can help offset increased electricity usage from a growing household, new appliances, an EV, a pool, or higher seasonal energy demands.
Our team can evaluate your existing system, current energy needs, available roof space, and equipment compatibility to determine the best way to expand your solar production. Whether your original system was undersized or your energy use has simply changed over time, we can provide a free quote and recommend an addition designed to better match the way you use power today and for a lifetime.
Get A System Upgrade
A solar system upgrade can help modernize your existing setup, improve functionality, and better support the way your home uses energy today. Upgrades may include replacing outdated equipment, improving system monitoring, adding battery storage for backup power and greater energy independence, or installing an EV charging system for convenient at-home charging.
Our team can evaluate your current solar system and recommend upgrades that improve performance, reliability, and long-term value without necessarily requiring a full system replacement.
We Can Troubleshoot Your System
Solar system issues can come from several common sources, including panel defects, faulty inverters, wiring problems, shading, overheating, or bad connections. Panel failures are relatively uncommon, but issues such as hotspots, junction box problems, or delamination can reduce performance. If a system has zero production, the inverter is often one of the first components to check, along with the solar circuit breaker and overall system output. Low-voltage issues may also be caused by shading, high panel temperatures, loose connections, or defective panels.
How Often Do Solar Panels Need to Be Serviced?
Two to Four Times A Year
To extend the lifespan of your solar panel system, it is recommended to perform maintenance at least twice a year. This maintenance should include cleaning the panels, checking for any loose connections, and making sure the inverter is functioning properly. Avoiding shading from trees or other objects, as well as seeking guidance from professionals or the manufacturer, can also contribute to a well-maintained and efficient solar panel system.
How Often Should I Clean My Solar Panels?
A Minimum of Twice Per Year
We of Solar Negotiators give consumers the information and tools to make decisions. The Central Valley has a high rate of air pollution. This is due to heavy traffic flow and condensed areas of industrial manufacturers. These factors can contribute to needing your panels cleaned on a bi-annual basis. There are steps you can take to identify when you need to get your solar panels cleaned. One major way to know is when the electricity production levels of your solar energy system decrease.
How Often Should I Check My Solar Inverter?
Once Per Month
If you fail to check your inverter, it can have a negative impact on your solar energy system investment. We recommend checking your inverter at least once a week. This prevents costly consequences that occur with underproduction. Over the course of several months, small system malfunctions can add up to worse issues.
How Do I Read My True-Up Bill?
Your electric meter on your solar panels is “bidirectional”. This means, your electric meter runs backward to measure the solar energy you produce. It also will run forward each time you pull electricity from the grid. PG&E takes your “net” energy difference to reimburse you. This happens by either adding a credit to your account or bills you for using more energy than you produced. As stated earlier, you will receive an annual and a monthly bill statement. It is important to know how to read both, so you know if you’ve accrued any charges you weren’t expecting. Monitoring your system allows you to catch any irregularities and avoid costly repairs.
