Solar panels are designed to be durable, efficient, and long-lasting—but like any investment, they require occasional maintenance and timely repairs to stay at peak performance. If you're experiencing reduced energy output or visible damage to your system, our solar panel maintenance and repair services in San Diego are here to help.
Whether you need annual inspections, component replacements, or emergency troubleshooting, we provide professional service backed by local expertise to ensure your solar energy system operates at full potential year-round.
Why Solar Panel Maintenance Is Essential
Although solar systems are low-maintenance by design, routine care ensures optimal energy production, early detection of issues, and protection of your long-term investment. San Diego’s sunny climate is ideal for solar energy—but dust, salt air, bird droppings, and coastal weather can gradually reduce panel efficiency.
With scheduled maintenance, small problems are addressed before they impact your system's output or cause costly breakdowns. Proper upkeep also helps preserve warranties and maintain the resale value of your property.

We offer comprehensive maintenance solutions for residential and commercial solar energy systems in the San Diego area. Services include:

Each service is performed by trained technicians familiar with various panel brands, roof types, and inverter models common in San Diego installations.
When to Schedule Solar Maintenance
For most systems, a full inspection and cleaning once or twice per year is ideal. However, you should also schedule maintenance if you notice:
- Unexpected drops in energy production
- Visible dirt, discoloration, or debris on panels
- Cracked glass, broken mounts, or exposed wiring
- Flashing inverter error codes
- Water leaks around roof-mounted systems
- Strange noises or burning smells from electrical components
Addressing these signs early can prevent costly damage and minimize downtime.
Solar Panel Cleaning Services
Dirty solar panels can lose up to 25% of their efficiency. Regular cleaning is especially important in coastal areas like San Diego, where salt buildup, dust, and bird droppings can accumulate over time. Our cleaning service uses non-abrasive, deionized water and soft brushes to remove grime without scratching or voiding warranties.
We recommend panel cleaning at least once per year—or more often in areas near construction sites, highways, or heavy foliage.

Solar Inverter Repairs & Diagnostics
The inverter is the brain of your solar system—converting solar energy into usable electricity. Inverter failures are one of the most common issues with solar installations. If your system is active but not generating electricity, the inverter may be to blame. We provide diagnostics, firmware updates, and inverter swaps as needed to restore functionality quickly and safely.
Battery Backup System Maintenance
If your solar setup includes battery storage, regular maintenance is key to ensuring safe and reliable performance. Our battery system services include:
- Battery charge level and health checks
- Inspection of battery housing and connectors
- Cooling system evaluation for lithium batteries
- Cycle performance and software updates
Proper battery care helps extend lifespan and improve system integration, especially during outages or peak usage periods.
