Solar Power System Inspections in Central Arkansas

Buying a Home With Solar? Know What You’re Getting.

Solar panels can add significant value and complexity to a property. When you’re purchasing a home with a photovoltaic solar system, it’s important to understand the condition and installation of the system as part of your overall property due diligence.

A solar power system inspection in Central Arkansas provides an additional evaluation of the home’s solar equipment and visible components.

Why Inspect a Home Solar System?

A solar power system is more than the panels you see on the roof. Depending on the installation, a residential photovoltaic system may include panels, mounting equipment, wiring, inverters, disconnects, electrical components, and other equipment.

Our inspection can help identify observable concerns and provide information about the condition of accessible system components.

What Does a Solar Power System Inspection Look For?

Depending on system design and accessibility, an inspection may evaluate observable conditions such as:

• Solar panels and visible panel condition

• Mounting hardware and visible attachments

• Accessible wiring and electrical components

• Inverter equipment

• Disconnects and related components

• Visible damage or deterioration

• Installation-related concerns that are observable

• General condition of accessible components

Some solar-system components may be inaccessible or require specialized testing beyond the scope of a visual property inspection.

Solar Inspection When Buying a Home

If solar panels are installed on a home you’re considering purchasing, don’t overlook the solar equipment during your due diligence.

It can also be important to understand the financial and contractual side of a solar installation. Depending on the property, the system may be owned outright, financed, leased, or subject to another agreement.

Ask the seller or appropriate provider for documentation concerning the system, including available installation records, warranties, maintenance records, and applicable agreements.

Solar Inspection for Homeowners

Existing homeowners may also request a solar inspection when they have concerns about visible system conditions, are preparing to sell their home, or want additional information about an existing installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I inspect solar panels when buying a house?

A solar inspection can provide additional information about the observable condition of the system and its accessible components.

Does a solar inspection test how much electricity my panels produce?

A property inspection is not necessarily the same as a specialized photovoltaic performance test. Ask about the scope of the service available for your system.

Does a solar inspection include electrical work?

The inspection evaluates observable conditions within the defined inspection scope. It is not a substitute for electrical repair or specialized electrical engineering services.

What if the solar panels are leased?

If the solar system is leased or financed, buyers should obtain and review the applicable agreement and understand any transfer requirements separately from the physical inspection.
