Is Your Solar Array
Actually Working?

A "green light" on your inverter doesn't mean your system is healthy. We identify the silent failures that are costing you thousands in lost generation.

Why Should You Care?

A 15% drop in efficiency due to soiled or failing panels isn't just "wear and tear." It is money vanishing into thin air. Use the calculator below to see what invisible defects are costing you.

Enter Zip to auto-detect utility rates.
PID, Soiling, and Dead Strings often cause 10-20% loss.

Estimated Annual Loss

Money lost per year due to invisible defects.

Estimated Inspection Cost:

$750 - $1,800

*Price varies by location & complexity.

The "End of Warranty" Inspection

Most solar panels carry a 10-12 year "Product Warranty." Once this date passes, you are 100% responsible for replacement costs.

Scenario A: You Inspect Before Warranty Expires

We find -- bad panels. You file a claim.

  • Est. Panel Cost: $0 (Covered by Manufacturer)
  • Est. Labor Cost: $0 (Often covered by Warranty)
  • Est. Disposal Fee: $0 (Manufacturer handles it)
  • Result: Brand new equipment installed for free.

Scenario B: You Wait Until It Fails

Warranty expires. You pay out of pocket.

  • Est. Panel Cost: $-,--
    (Approx -- panels @ $300/ea)
  • Est. Labor & Lift: $-,--
    (Truck roll + install labor)
  • Est. Total Out of Pocket:
    $-,--

Common Failures We Detect

1. Revenue Killers (Efficiency Loss)

String Outage Thermal Image

String Outage

Impact: 100% Section Loss

An entire row is disconnected. The inverter often stays on which masks this massive drop in power.

Bypass Diode Failure

Bypass Diode Failure

Impact: 33% Panel Loss

When a diode fails, one third of that panel stops producing power entirely.

PID Failure

PID

Impact: Systemic Drain

Potential Induced Degradation is a voltage leak that slowly drains the efficiency of your entire array.

Reverse Polarity

Reverse Polarity

Impact: Installation Error

The wiring is backward which cancels out the production of other panels.

2. Fire & Safety Risks

Overheating Cable

Overheating Connection

Impact: Fire Risk

Signifies a loose connection or corrosion. This requires immediate shutdown to prevent fire.

Single Cell Hotspot

Single Cell Hotspot

Impact: Destructive Heat

A cell acting as a resistor creates intense localized heat that can burn through the backsheet.

3. Physical Integrity

Cracked Panel

Micro-Cracks

Impact: Future Failure

Often invisible to the naked eye, these cracks increase resistance and lead to eventual failure.

Delamination

Delamination

Impact: End of Life

Layers are separating which allows moisture in. This panel is dead weight.
