Find the Right Starting Point
Solar help for existing systems and new projects
Not every solar problem calls for a new installation. An existing system may need an inverter, a communications repair, a monitoring update or professional diagnosis. Start with the issue you actually have.
Solar Repairs
Production problems, recurring faults and unexpected shutdowns need evidence-based troubleshooting—not guesswork about which part to replace.

Understand the differences between string inverters and microinverters, and what an inspection should establish before replacement.
Understand inverter problemsMonitoring Recovery
Missing data in an app does not always mean the panels stopped generating electricity. Find out how connectivity and account access are checked.
Restore monitoringBattery Storage
Add storage to an existing system or discuss battery-only options. Understand backup capabilities, utility export credits and system compatibility.

Important California Solar Changes
Today's solar economics deserve a fresh look
Export credits are not what they used to be
Under California's Net Billing Tariff, often called NEM 3.0, export credits for new participating customers of Southern California Edison, PG&E and SDG&E are generally much lower than the retail electricity rate. That makes the timing of energy use and the value of battery storage more important.
Existing customers may be under older tariffs. Municipal utilities, including Glendale Water & Power, Pasadena Water & Power and Burbank Water & Power, have their own programs. Your actual utility and tariff must be checked.
The federal homeowner credit has ended
The federal 30% Residential Clean Energy Credit is not available for homeowner-purchased systems installed after December 31, 2025. Do not rely on older online estimates that still subtract a 30% credit from a 2026 homeowner purchase.
Financing, local incentives, utility programs, and commercial tax treatment are different questions and should be evaluated individually. No savings amount or incentive eligibility should be assumed without checking the current rules.
Useful first step
Collect a recent electric bill, any available solar production history and the make/model of your inverter. Those details can help a qualified installer determine whether you need repair, additional storage or a new system design.
