Signs your system needs service

Paying two bills

A solar loan and a full electric bill means your panels aren't covering what they should.

Your installer disappeared

They went out of business or stopped calling back. We service systems from any installer.

App says offline or error

Monitoring dropped or shows a fault code. Sometimes it's Wi-Fi, sometimes it's the inverter.

Panels showing zero

Some or all panels read zero. That usually points to an inverter, optimizer, or breaker.

Leaks or roof work

Roof leak near the mounts, or a new roof coming? We handle panel removal and reinstall.

Production keeps dropping

Output is lower each month. Shade, soiling, or failing parts — we find which one.

Built for Houston weather

Houston is hard on solar

Long, hot summers and heavy humidity wear on inverters, wiring and seals. Hurricane season brings wind, hail and power outages that can knock a system offline or damage panels and mounts.

  • Storms, hail and outages

    Hurricane-season wind and hail can crack panels, loosen mounts and trip systems offline after a power outage.

  • Monitoring that fails quietly

    When monitoring drops, nobody gets an alert. A system can sit offline for months before the bill gives it away.

  • Small faults grow

    A tripped breaker or one failed part costs more the longer it sits — in lost production and in repairs.

Battery backup

Keep the lights on. Use more of your own solar.

Most solar systems shut off during a grid outage, even on a sunny day. Adding a battery lets your home keep running when the power goes out, and stores the solar you make during the day so you use it at night instead of buying it from the grid.

  • Power through outages

    Keep essentials like the fridge, lights, Wi-Fi and medical devices running during storms and grid failures.

  • Shrink the extra bill

    Store daytime solar and use it in the evening, so less of your power comes from the utility.

  • Works with most existing systems

    We check your inverter and recommend a battery that fits the system you already have.

How much a battery covers depends on its size, your usage and your utility plan. We'll show you the numbers for your home before you decide.

What two bills looks like

When a system goes down quietly, you keep paying the loan — and the utility picks up the rest. We find out where your solar is falling short.

FAQ

What homeowners ask us

Can I add a battery to my existing solar system?

In most cases, yes. Some batteries connect on the AC side and work with nearly any system; others pair with a specific inverter brand. We check your equipment and recommend what fits.

Will a battery power my whole house during an outage?

It depends on the battery size and what you run. Most homes back up essentials like the fridge, lights, Wi-Fi and outlets; larger setups can cover more. We'll size it to what matters to you.

Will a battery get rid of my electric bill?

It can lower it by letting you use your own stored solar at night instead of buying grid power. How much depends on your system size, usage and utility plan — we'll walk you through your numbers first.

Why am I still paying an electric bill with solar?

A system sized for your home should bring your bill down close to the utility's fixed charges. Anything above that is power your panels should be making. We compare your bill and solar payment against what NREL's PVWatts says your system should produce, and check for new loads like an EV or pool pump so you know whether it's a system problem or a usage change.

My monitoring app says "offline." Is my system broken?

Not always. Offline monitoring doesn't lower production by itself, but it hides problems. Common causes: a new router or Wi-Fi password, or a cellular data plan that expired after 5–10 years. On Enphase systems every panel can read zero in the app while still producing, so we check the gateway lights and the meter before calling anything dead.

Half of my panels show zero. What does that mean?

On systems with two inverters, losing about half the panels usually means one inverter or its circuit stopped, not the roof. Most fixes are a tripped breaker, a cleared fault, or an inverter replacement under warranty.

Only a few panels read zero.

Scattered single panels at zero usually mean failed power optimizers (SolarEdge) or microinverters (Enphase). Those parts typically carry 25-year warranties, and we record the serial numbers for the claim.

My inverter has a red light or an error code.

It has stopped on a fault. Ground or isolation faults often come from water or damaged wiring on the roof after a storm. We read the code, find the cause, and file the warranty claim if the inverter is covered — SolarEdge inverters typically carry 12 years.

My inverter has no lights at all.

That means it has no AC power: a breaker or disconnect is off, or the inverter board has failed. We check the circuit first, then the inverter.

My solar breaker keeps tripping.

Resetting it once is fine. If it trips again, stop — that points to a ground fault or failing inverter and needs a technician.

Do dirty panels or trees really matter?

Yes. Dust and pollen build-up and trees that have grown since install can noticeably lower production, especially in winter. We check both during the inspection.

My system is over 10 years old.

String inverters usually last 10–15 years, so age alone makes failure likely. We check remaining warranty before quoting a replacement.

Do you work on systems another company installed?

Yes, any brand, any age. Most of our customers come to us because their installer went out of business or stopped responding.

Will a repair void my warranty?

No. Certified repairs with approved parts keep your equipment warranty intact, and we help file manufacturer claims.

How long does a visit take?

Most inspections take 60–90 minutes. Someone 18+ should be home so we can reach the electrical panel and inverter.

Why only 24–48 hour appointments online?

So we can confirm a technician for your time. Need a later date? Leave your email and we'll reach out.

How often should solar panels be cleaned in Houston?

Rain handles most dirt, but pollen season, construction dust and bird droppings can build up. A check once or twice a year is usually enough; we'll tell you during the inspection whether a cleaning is worth it.

What areas do you serve?

Houston and surrounding cities, including Baytown, Pasadena, Pearland, League City, Sugar Land, Katy, Cypress, Spring, The Woodlands and Humble. Call to confirm your address.

Can you help after a storm or hail?

Yes. We inspect for cracked panels, loose mounts and wiring damage, document it with photos for your insurance or warranty claim, and make the repairs.

Stop paying for solar that isn't working.
