Know Exactly What That Solar System Is Worth
A solar array can add real value to a home — or hide expensive surprises. When a property changes hands in San Diego County, the panels are one of the few major systems a standard home inspection barely touches. That’s a problem, because whether the system is owned, leased, or financed dramatically affects the deal, and an aging inverter or a rooftop mounting issue can turn into a costly headache for whoever ends up with it. A dedicated solar inspection removes the guesswork before you sign.
Our C-10 licensed inspectors evaluate the whole system the way an electrician would: panel condition, mounting and flashing, wiring and conduit, inverter health, and whether the installation meets code and matches its permits. We verify production against what the system should be making, check the status of any equipment warranties, and hand you a clear written report. Buyers get confidence, sellers get a clean bill of health to market with, and current owners get an honest snapshot of their investment.

Solar Inspection Questions, Answered
Do I need a solar inspection when buying a home?
If the home has solar, we strongly recommend it. A standard home inspection rarely evaluates the array in depth, and details like whether the system is owned or leased, the age of the inverter, and the condition of the rooftop mounting can significantly affect the value and your obligations after closing.
What’s the difference between owned, leased, and financed solar?
It’s one of the most important things we clarify. An owned system is an asset that transfers with the home; a leased or PPA system usually requires you to assume an agreement with the provider. We help you understand exactly what you’re inheriting so there are no surprises after the sale.
Can you inspect a system before I sell my house?
Yes, and it’s a smart move. A pre-listing inspection lets you fix or disclose issues on your own terms and market the system’s clean bill of health, which removes a common point of friction during buyer negotiations.
What happens if the inspection finds a problem?
You’ll get a clear written explanation of anything we find. If it’s something that affects performance or safety, we can quote the fix directly — often through our solar repair service — so you have a path forward instead of just a list of concerns.
