Colorado homeowners embraced rooftop solar in a big way - and for good reason. Lower utility bills, cleaner energy, and increased home value made solar an easy decision for many families.
But in recent years, a growing number of homeowners in Colorado Springs, El Paso County, and across the Front Range have run into a frustrating problem:
The company that installed their solar system is gone.
Whether the installer closed, moved out of state, changed names, stopped answering calls, or simply vanished after the sale, many homeowners are now left asking:
Who do I call if something isn’t working?
Are my panels producing what they should?
Is my roof still protected around the mounting points?
Do I still have warranties?
How do I know if the system was installed correctly in the first place?
That’s exactly why independent solar inspections have become so valuable.
Why a Solar Inspection Matters - Especially When the Installer Is Gone
When your original solar company disappears, you lose the easiest source of answers. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean problems disappear too.
A professional solar inspection gives you an unbiased evaluation of your system’s current condition and performance.
At our company, we are not affiliated with any solar sales company or installer, which means our job is simple: give homeowners clear, honest information.
We inspect systems to help answer important questions like:
Is the system producing properly?
Many homeowners assume “if the lights are on, it must be working.” But solar systems can underperform for months—or years—without obvious signs.
Are there visible installation defects?
Loose conduit, poor flashing, roof penetrations, damaged wiring, and improper labeling are all issues we may identify.
What equipment do I actually have?
If your installer vanished, you may not even know who manufactured your panels, inverter, optimizer system, or monitoring equipment. We help identify components so you can pursue warranty support if available.
Is the roof protected?
Roof penetrations and mounting systems should be evaluated periodically, especially after Colorado wind, hail, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles.
Common Issues We See in Colorado
Colorado’s climate is hard on roofs and solar systems. We regularly see concerns related to:
Hail damage
Loose or aging roof flashing
Critter intrusion under panels
Snow load concerns
UV-damaged components
Inverter faults
Poor production due to shading or failed components
Systems installed by companies no longer servicing the area
Helpful During Home Sales, Too
If you’re buying or selling a home with solar, an independent solar inspection can help avoid surprises during the transaction.
Buyers want to know:
Is the system owned or leased?
Is it functioning?
Is there visible damage?
Who services it now?
Sellers benefit by addressing concerns early and providing documentation.
