What technicians see around here
Inverter failures
The hardest-working component and the usual first casualty, especially units installed on hot west-facing walls a decade ago.
Salt corrosion
Frames, rails, clamps and isolators on beachside roofs corrode faster. Caught early it is maintenance; caught late it is replacement.
Water in isolators
Aged rooftop DC isolators letting in water is a well-known industry issue and a genuine safety item. If in doubt, get it inspected.

Frequently asked questions
My installer has disappeared. Can anyone else fix my system?
Yes. Any appropriately accredited and licensed solar technician can inspect, repair and service a system installed by someone else. This is one of the most common situations in the industry, and it is exactly why choosing an established local installer matters for the next system.
How do I know if my solar is underperforming?
Compare recent bills or monitoring data against the same season in earlier years. A gradual slide can be dirt, shading from grown trees, or degrading components; a sudden drop is often an inverter fault or a tripped breaker. A system health check puts numbers on it.
How often should coastal solar be inspected?
Close to the ocean, periodic inspection earns its keep: salt accelerates corrosion on frames, rails, isolators and connections. Many owners near the coast opt for a professional check roughly every couple of years, and sooner if monitoring shows a drop. Your technician will recommend an interval for your site.
Is an old system worth repairing or should I replace it?
Depends on age, fault and hardware quality. An honest technician will price the repair and tell you plainly when replacement with a modern system (and current incentives, subject to eligibility) is the better spend. Getting more than one opinion is exactly what this service is for.
