Solar, handled — inside your inspection period
You have a contingency clock, a client who wants a straight answer, and one major system nobody tested. That's the part we take off your desk.

Where solar lands in your contingency period
The California RPA defaults to a 17-day investigation period and it is negotiable. Solar is the one major system a general home inspection doesn't evaluate, so it has to be handled inside that window.

General home inspection
Roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC. Panels are noted, not evaluated.

The gap gets closed. Request it early enough to act on what comes back.

Step 5 of 5
Contingency decision
Your client decides on evidence rather than on a guess.
Request the inspection in the first days of the period, not the last — lease and PPA transfers run on the provider's timeline, not yours.
Built around the transaction, not around the equipment
Request takes about two minutes
Address and contact. You don't need the solar paperwork, and "unsure" is an acceptable answer to everything solar-specific.
We confirm timing with a call
A request isn't a booking. We call to confirm the date and time, and to flag anything that would change scope before we drive out.
We inspect while you work the rest of the file
45 minutes to 2 hours on site. Someone should be available to authorize access and sign the inspection authorization. Your presence is not required if access to the equipment is provided.
You get a report you can forward
Written for the transaction: what it is, what it means, what happens next, and whose job that next step is.
Independence
We inspect solar We don't sell it.
You can hand our findings to a client without hedging them, because what we find is never shaped by what we would rather sell you.
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.
What we can and can't settle for you
- Is the system working?
- Yes — that's the core of the inspection, including measurements and the inverter's own error history.
- What's it worth?
- Not an appraisal. We document condition and ownership context; valuation is your lane and the appraiser's.
- Who pays for repairs?
- A negotiation, not an inspection finding. We document the condition and the responsible trade.
- What does the repair cost?
- Not a standard deliverable. Pricing comes from the contractor your client chooses.
- How should C.A.R. Form SOLAR be answered?
- That's the seller's disclosure and, if needed, their attorney's advice. We can explain what the form is asking for.
Common questions
Can you work inside a 17-day contingency period?
That's the normal case. Tell us the contingency date when you request and it drives how we schedule. Weekend inspections are available.
Who receives the report?
The paying customer, unless they authorize us to send it to anyone else. If your client is paying, we'll copy you at their direction.
Can you explain the findings to my client?
Yes, and we expect to. We stay available after delivery to walk you or your client through anything in the report.
Do you take referral fees?
No. We inspect solar and we don't sell it, which is the reason a finding is worth putting in front of your client.
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.
