What We Service
Most homes on the Island now have two or three clean-energy systems talking to each other. When something goes sideways, you shouldn’t have to figure out which company to phone. We look after all of it.
Panels are low-maintenance, not no-maintenance. Island moss, pollen and winter storms all take their turn.
Batteries are driven by software as much as hardware. Most issues stern from settings, firmware mismatches, or network drops rather than total battery failure.
When a charger fails to start a session, the culprit is usually a tripped breaker, a dropped Wi-Fi signal, or a load-management settings issue.
What's Included
Straightforward diagnostics and thorough checks to keep your energy system performing as designed.
We examine panels, racking, roof penetrations, conduit, and mounting hardware. Coastal weather impacts fasteners and seals faster than most homeowners realize.
Voltage checks, connection checks, breakers, and grounding at the main panel and equipment locations - catching hidden issues before they cause full system shutdowns.
We check system performance against baseline expectations to identify underperforming strings, shaded panels, or faulty components.
Inverters, batteries, and smart chargers require periodic software updates. We apply pending updates and confirm gird/time-of-use settings are set properly.
For homes with battery storage, we test transfer mechanisms and simulate power events to confirm critical loads pick up seamlessly when the grid drops.
We evaluate panel cleanliness and only recommend active washing if buildup is noticeably affecting generation.
You receive a clear summary of system status, any recommended repairs, and straightforward pricing if parts or follow-up labor are needed.
If a component has failed under warranty, we coordinate directly with the manufacturer to process replacement claims on your behalf.
