    A home that I was purchasing came equipped with solar panels. A standard home inspection doesn't go into much detail with solar so we decided to recruit the Solar Detective. Not only did they do a very thorough inspection of every aspect of the solar system on the house, they took the time to educate me all about solar. They taught me about preventative maintenance and how SDGE billing would work with our specific solar system. I highly recommend them!

    I booked an inspection with The Solar Detective to inspect a solar system installed in 2009 by the seller of the property I was in escrow in and he did an outstanding job. We knew nothing about the system since the owner passed away and the transaction was a trust sale. He was able to trace every cable for the installation and determined it production as well as all the shut off points and how it was connected to the grid. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. His reports were very helpful for the buyer because. I will definitely be using him again.
