"I paid $62000 to have my roofs repaired - not cheap for a disabled person. Hopefully, thei dropping the ball is not because Im disabled. They removed but did not properly reattach my ATT line to detached garage. Also, there was a fluke rainstorm about 1-1/2 weeks ago and i heard a dripping sound in / near chimney. I complained and Brent Eikanas their contact promised to have supervisor here to check leak TODAY between 10-11 am and anchor the ATT connection like it was before they removed it. They no-showed AGAIN. I had to remind them of other items they needed to do to finish/using my payment as leverage - removing the old gutter all the way - they had only half-way removed it. I have photos and next winter will have to video and record leak in/near fireplace. I had to start documenting because phone call is useless. The workers left nails and some trash too and on Cinco de Mayo, their last day here, they did two structures in 4 hours,"

FAQs for solar panel installation projects in Oakland, CA

Annual inspections are recommended for residential solar systems, though specific needs vary based on several factors. Newer installations in moderate climates require less frequent professional evaluation, while systems over a decade old or those in harsh environments benefit from more regular attention. Always arrange an inspection following severe weather events that might have damaged components or affected system performance.

Pre-inspection cleaning isn't necessary, as evaluating the current condition of your panels is part of the assessment process. Professional inspectors can effectively examine systems regardless of cleanliness level, as accumulation patterns often provide valuable diagnostic information. However, if panels are completely obscured by heavy debris, bird droppings, or other materials that prevent visual examination of the surface, a basic rinse might be helpful before the scheduled inspection.

A comprehensive solar inspection examines all system components, including panels, wiring, mounting hardware, and inverters. Technicians check for physical damage like cracks or delamination, evaluate electrical connections for corrosion or looseness, and assess overall system performance against expected output levels. The inspection may also verify that safety systems are functioning correctly and that the installation complies with applicable codes and standards.

While traditional manual inspections are effective for most residential systems, specialized inspection methods may provide advantages for certain installations. Factors to consider include system size, roof complexity, accessibility challenges, and safety considerations. For multi-story homes or commercial installations where roof access is difficult or potentially hazardous, alternative inspection approaches offer improved documentation and reduced risk, though potentially at a higher cost.
