One major system, routinely untested
Solar arrived on Southern California roofs faster than the transaction process adapted to it. Riverside County alone has more than 184,000 residential solar systems, and roughly 42% of them are third-party owned — leased or on a power purchase agreement. Those are close-of-escrow problems as much as engineering ones.
Meanwhile the standard home inspection is explicitly non-invasive. It notes that panels are present. Nobody measures whether they work, nobody reads the inverter's fault history, and nobody establishes what transfers with the property. That gap is the entire reason this company exists.
The founder has spent 26 years in solar. The inspection reflects that: it is a technical evaluation, not a walk-around with a clipboard.
A home can pass inspection with a solar system that has not worked in a year. That sentence is the whole reason this company exists.
Inspect, explain, report, and stay available
We inspect
45 minutes to 2 hours on site, evaluating six systems as applicable and where safely accessible.
We explain
A conversation before the visit and after the report. Questions get answered before the inspection, not only afterwards.
We report
Findings reviewed by two sets of human eyes, then written up with what it is, what it means, what happens next, and whose job that is.
We support the transaction
We stay available to walk an agent or a client through the findings while the deal is live.
We help resolve issues
On request, we help coordinate corrective work — with the customer always choosing the contractor.
Independence
We inspect solar We don't sell it.
Independence isn't a slogan here — it's the business model. A finding is worth something precisely because we don't profit from what it recommends.
We don't arrive looking for work to sell, and an inspection is never a pitch for a replacement system.
What we report doesn't change based on who does the work, or whether any work happens at all. You always choose the contractor.
Once you've seen the findings, we can point you to the right kind of contractor and help you make sense of what you're quoted — so you don't have to start over explaining the system to someone new.
Who does the work
Every inspection is carried out by an experienced solar technician, and the findings are reviewed before the report is produced. The work is deliberately unglamorous: measurements, error logs, photographs and a written record of what is actually on the roof.
You will speak to the person who inspected the property. Nothing is handed to a call centre, and nobody is reading your report to you from a template.
Southern California, from an office in Murrieta
The core service area runs from Murrieta and Temecula out across southwest Riverside County and down into north San Diego County. Most of that territory is Southern California Edison; the Fallbrook and Bonsall end sits in SDG&E, which changes some of the utility detail on a report. The current list of every locality we inspect in is here, and it is the one to trust — it is generated from our own coverage records rather than typed out.
If you're outside that and the transaction genuinely needs a solar inspection, call and ask — the answer is often yes, and where it is not we will say so rather than take the booking.
Working a weekend transaction? So are we
The office is open Monday–Friday 9am–6pm, but inspections run on weekends and requests are open around the clock. We'll call to confirm the date and time.
Requesting an inspection isn't a confirmed appointment — we'll contact you to confirm timing.
