Buying a House with Solar?

When a solar system is working properly, it can save
the home owner thousands each year. But if it’s not inspected, you could inherit expensive problems.

Inspect the system & Provide a report showing:

  • How well it’s producing energy

  • How long it’s expected to last

  • See if anything needs fixing
