Regular maintenance and inspections help your solar system perform over time. We connect you with local pros for cleaning, inspections, performance checks, and pre-purchase assessments.
Solar systems are relatively low-maintenance, but periodic cleaning, inspections, and performance checks can maximize production and catch small issues before they become costly. Inspections are also important when buying a home with solar or evaluating a system's condition.
Local providers offer solar inspection (including home and commercial, and pre-purchase), routine maintenance for panels, inverters, and batteries, panel cleaning for roof and ground-mount arrays, and performance and efficiency testing. We help you find these professionals in your state and city so you can schedule service or get an inspection report when you need it.

When to consider solar maintenance & inspection
- You want to schedule routine maintenance to keep production high.
- You're buying or selling a property and need a solar inspection.
- Production has dropped and you want a professional assessment.
- You need panel cleaning after pollen, dust, or debris buildup.
- You want a safety or wiring inspection for peace of mind.
Why solar maintenance and inspection matter
Well-maintained solar systems produce more energy and last longer. Dirt, pollen, and debris can reduce output by a noticeable amount; cleaning can restore production. Inspections identify loose connections, wear, and potential safety issues before they lead to failures or hazards. For buyers and sellers, a pre-purchase or condition inspection provides clarity on the system's health and value. We connect you with local providers who offer maintenance plans, one-time cleaning, and full inspections so you can keep your system in top shape or get the information you need for a transaction.
What’s included in solar inspection and maintenance
Inspections typically include a visual check of panels, racking, and wiring; verification of inverter operation and monitoring; and a review of production history if available. Inspectors may test connections, check grounding, and note any damage or degradation. Maintenance services often include panel cleaning (roof and ground-mount), inverter and battery checks, and basic diagnostics. Performance and efficiency testing can compare actual output to expected output and highlight underperforming strings or panels. Safety and wiring inspections focus on electrical connections and compliance. We help you find local pros who offer these services so you can choose the right level of care for your system.
Pre-purchase solar inspection
If you're buying a home or building with an existing solar system, a pre-purchase inspection gives you an independent assessment of the system's condition, age, and expected performance. The inspector can identify defects, warranty status, and whether the installation meets current standards. This information helps you understand what you're buying and negotiate with the seller if needed. We help you find qualified inspectors in your area who can schedule a visit and provide a clear report before you close.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I find solar maintenance and inspection pros near me?
- Select Solar Maintenance & Inspection on our site, then your state and city. You'll see local providers who offer cleaning, inspections, and performance checks. Contact them to schedule service or get a quote.
- How often should I have my solar panels cleaned?
- Frequency depends on your location—dust, pollen, and bird droppings affect some areas more than others. Many owners schedule cleaning once or twice a year; your provider can recommend a schedule.
- What is a pre-purchase solar inspection?
- An inspection of an existing solar system before you buy the property. It assesses condition, performance, warranties, and installation quality so you know what you're getting and can plan for any needed repairs or upgrades.
- Will cleaning my solar panels really increase production?
- In many cases yes. Soiling can reduce output by 5–15% or more in dusty or humid areas. Cleaning removes that loss. Your provider can compare before/after or use monitoring data to show the impact.
