What solar panel repair services do you offer?

We provide system diagnostics, panel and inverter troubleshooting, roof leak repair, critter guard installation, performance checks, and other maintenance services designed to keep your system operating properly.

How do I know if my panels need repair?

Signs include lower energy production, rising electric bills, monitoring alerts, visible damage, or parts of your system not working correctly.

What happens if my inverter stops working?

If your inverter fails, your system may stop producing energy efficiently or stop working altogether. We can inspect the issue, diagnose the cause, and recommend the right repair or replacement solution.

Why is my electric bill still high?

A high bill may mean your system is underperforming, your energy usage has increased, or there is an issue with monitoring or equipment. Our electric bill audit helps identify the cause.

How often should I clean my panels?

It depends on your location, weather, and buildup from dust, pollen, or debris. Regular cleaning can improve output and help prevent long-term performance loss.

Do you offer maintenance plans?

Yes. We offer maintenance and monitoring support to help catch issues early and keep your system performing over time.

Can you fix roof leaks under panels?

Yes. We can inspect and address roof leak issues related to solar installations and help protect your roof from further damage.

How do I schedule service?

You can request a free quote online or call us directly to schedule an inspection or service visit.

Can I monitor my system performance?

Yes. We can help you understand your current monitoring setup and recommend solutions that give you better visibility into your system's output and health.

Local Context

Solar service in Delray Beach

Atlantic Avenue is a useful way to think about servicing solar in Delray Beach. A system on the east end, a few blocks off the sand in 33483, lives in an entirely different environment from one out west in 33445, even though both are Delray Beach, both are Palm Beach County, and both are on FPL. Same city, same utility, two different failure profiles.

On the east end, the driver is salt. It attacks the metal before it touches the glass: rails, clamps, stainless hardware, grounding lugs and the contact pins inside MC4 connectors. The corrosion works inside housings and under clamps, where inspection means opening things rather than looking at them. An array can present perfectly from the street and have a bonding path that no longer conducts.

West of the Intracoastal, that pressure drops and a different one takes over. Heat derate reduces output whenever the roof runs hot, which in Palm Beach County is most of the year. Soiling accumulates through the dry months and bakes onto the glass. Neither trips a fault. Both cost real kilowatt-hours, and the loss is gradual enough that homeowners attribute it to rates rather than hardware.

What both ends share is the arithmetic and the calendar. FPL credits exported energy at the retail rate, one for one, so every lost kilowatt-hour is bought back at full price. And hurricane season runs June first through November thirtieth for the whole state, which makes late spring the sensible window to verify that the array is properly attached to the roof.

What We Check

On a Delray Beach system we look at these

Exposure assessment for your specific addressThe first thing we establish is where the property actually sits relative to the water, because that determines the priority order of everything else. A beachside inspection leads with corrosion and connectors. A western one leads with thermal performance and soiling. Running the wrong checklist wastes the visit.

Grounding lugs and bonding pathLugs are small, cheap and structurally unimportant right up until the bonding path fails. We test continuity from module frames through the racking to ground rather than inspecting visually. Near the ocean this is the single item most likely to have degraded since the system was commissioned.

Connector seals and contact resistanceWe open a representative sample of MC4 connections and look at the pin and the gasket. Hardened seals let moisture in, moisture raises resistance, resistance generates heat, and heat finishes the connector. The early stage of that sequence is invisible from outside the housing.

Inverter enclosure and mounting locationAn inverter on an exterior wall in coastal humidity ages differently than one in a garage. We check gaskets, vent screens, internal dust and any sign of condensation or salt deposit, along with whether the unit gets direct afternoon sun that pushes it into thermal derate.

Attachment torque before JuneWe verify lag torque, rail splices and clamp fasteners across the array. Years of thermal cycling relax connections gradually. Hurricane season loads them all at once, and the difference between a checked array and an unchecked one is decided in a few hours of wind.

Production baseline and seasonal comparisonWe pull historical production and compare against the same months in prior years, correcting for the array's orientation. A one-time reading tells you little. A three-year comparison shows whether the system is drifting downward and roughly when the drift started.

FAQ

Solar service in Delray Beach — common questions

I live three miles west of the beach. Do I still have a salt problem?

Much less of one. At that distance salt becomes a slow background factor rather than the main driver, and heat plus soiling take over as the causes of lost output. We still check grounding hardware and connectors, but the visit is weighted toward performance measurement rather than corrosion mapping.

The house sits empty part of the year. Does the system need attention while I'm away?

It keeps producing and it keeps aging, and nobody is there to notice a fault. Remote monitoring covers outright failures. It does not cover a nest under the array, a loosened clamp or salt film on the glass. A pre-departure check and a post-return check are the practical arrangement for a seasonally occupied home.

How does FPL handle the energy I send to the grid?

FPL is an investor-owned utility and credits exports at the retail rate, one kilowatt-hour for one. In Florida's regulated market your utility is set by your address rather than chosen. Since the credit is retail rather than wholesale, recovered production carries full value, which changes the math on whether a repair is worth doing.

When should I schedule work relative to hurricane season?

Before it, ideally in spring. The season runs June first to November thirtieth. Attachment checks, loose hardware and any roof repair under the array are all far easier to handle in April than in August, and scheduling is tighter once the first named storm puts the whole coast on the phone at the same time.

Do you work out of Delray Beach?

No. Our crews are based in Orlando and Tampa and cover the rest of Florida from there. For Palm Beach County we build the visit as a single full session, which usually means the diagnostic work and the corrective work are planned together rather than as two separate appointments.
